r/IPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Ever; inT.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took hie seat on the wool-
nit at five o'cli,clc.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
Mayor and Corpor4tion of Liverpool in favour of the
e4tn blibhment of Courts of Reconciliation, whereby a groat
amount of litigation uni2ht be prevented.
FRAUDULENT TRUSTEES BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read-
ing of this bill, which had for its object the protection
of parties against fraudulent trustees. The pre-
sent state of the law absolutely called for amend-
ment, and to remedy the defect, the bill now
before their lordships had been framed. By
the Ist clause of this bill, any trustee entrusted with
funds for the benefit of another, attempting to make use of
such money fur his own personal benefit would be deemed
guilty of mi-elemeanour, and he apprehended there
would be no difficulty in carryieo. that enactment into
operation. But a clause had been introduoed into the
bill in the other house which would require groat con-
sideration, namely, the previous sanction of a judge
or the Attorney-General stioul I be obtained before
the prosecution should take place. The bill
also provided a remedy for malversation of the
funds of public companies by the directors, who, by a
clause in this bill, wire made criminally liable for any
rnimppropriation of the money of such companies. He
Sad no objection to the sanction of the judge
having to he obtained before. He thought
the bill wculd be improved if the Attorney-General's was
only to be obtained. The noble I)rd having explained
the other chuses, said he though: great good would
low the passing of the bill.
Lord ST. LEONARDS said he did not rise to op-
pose the bil!. He wss, however, afraid that, owing
tl the wording of the bill at presec.t before the
house innocent persons might, under certain circum-
stances, become liable to prosecution under its provi-
sions. The bill that he had hid upon The table would
go fat to correct the evil, but he trusted that some
means would be fund to prot.ct the honest trustee in
the discharge of his duty. .

Lord BROUGILINI supported the bill, which he
said went far to provide a remedy for a defect in the
law at present verrllusilv complained of.
Lord WENSLEDALE would not oppose the second
reading, but be trusted sever?). amendments would be
made in committee.

The bill was read a second time.
PRISONER'S REMOVAL BILL.
This bill was lead a third time and passed.

BOARD OF HEALTH BILL. •
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Sir G. GREY said it was -desirable that he should
then state the objects of this bill. The Board of Health
possessed permanent powers under several Acts of
Parliament. The first was the Board of Health Act
of 1848, and the other the Nuisarces Removal and Dis-
eases Prevention Acts of 1848 and 1854, and special
powers by order in cauncil on the sudden appearance
of epidemic in this country, and though permanent
powers were created by these acts, Parliament only
granted a temporary authority by which their provisions
could be carried out. List year the present Board of
Health veal continued till the 29th July, or the end
of the next session of Parliament, when it would expire,
so that without some provision were made the present
act would expire nt xt year as a4matter of course. It
was, therefore, necessary to make provision this session
for the continuance of the authority of the Beard of
Health, whose powers had neon beneficially applied
to many parts of the country. The Government
in considering this question had come to _ the
determination that it was not desirable to con-
tinue the present distinct and separate department
of the Board cf Health, with a president at its bead,
with a seat in that house, but to transfer its powers to
the President and Committee of the Council ou &Inca-
tion. This proceeding would be an economical one,
whilst it would secure the present efficiency of the
board's operation, /Ind as the President of the Coancd
had a seat in that house, it would Still give to Parlia-
ment that responsibility which hon. members were so
desirous of seeirg continued, and were unwilling
to part with. By the proposed change there would
be a consideiable saving, because the President, his
Private Secretary and other officers would be reduced,
and it was hoped that when these departments were
united, it would be poslble still further to reduce the
expense of the Board. The arrangement was one cal-
culated to meet the views of the House on the ground of
economy, and providing at least as efficient superinten-
dence of the machinery of the Board of Works as at pre-
sent ()Listed. The Government had intended to introduce
a bill to amend the act of 1848, but circumstances pre-
vented, for this session, that desirable object. He proposed
now to make this a temporary measure instead of a per-
manent cne, and he asked for the continuance of the
power of the Board of Health for a year longer, or till
the end of the next session of parliament after its pas-
sing. That would give the house an opportunity for
considering and determining on next session the proposed
permanent measure of the government on this subject.
On the motion for going into committee,
Mr. KNIGHT moved that the bia be considered
this day six months,.

S;1. J PECIIELL and Mr. PALK opposed the
bill.

Mr. COWPER defended the proceedings of the
Board of Health, and also the conduct of the Govern-
ment in reference to legislation on this subject. He
expressed his regret that there did not exist so much
iotarest in that house on sanitary matters as was to be
found in the country. The advantage of the General
tove jobbingr
n me
ta n
Board of Health Act was that where inhabitants were

the inhabitants were

v e
governments,
able to call on the Central Board for protection. The
right hon. gentleman quoted a number of figures, and
also read an extract from the Registrar General's report

to show that since the passing of the Board of Health
Act mortality bad greatly decreased in those places
where the provisions of the Act had been put in opera-
tion. He expressed his surprise that hon. members
-hould be found to oppose the continuance of a measure
that had produced such beneficial results, amongst which
was the better supply of water to populous towns.
By the operations of this Act, London had now
rs pure a supply of water as he thought
t was possible to obtain. It was necessary for the
wants of the country, and to meet the requirements of
the advancement of civilization in which we were em-
barked, that a Sanitary Board should exist.
Sir GEORGE GREY said that as the opposition to
the Bill appeared to be against ins continuance, for what
was said would extend to a period of two years, he was
ready to alter his proposition, and fix its continuance
until the Ist of September, 1858 ; or if the House pre-
ferred it, he would propose the continuance of the
present act till that period. He thought the former
I course the best, because by transferring the duties of the
