X iiIPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wooisaok
at 5 o'clock.

The Earl of MALMESBURY asked whether the
Government had sent down any person to inspect the
Southampton and Dorchester Railway, with a view to as-
certain, in accordance with the pledge given by the South-
Western RAllway Company, whether a double hue of
rail 3 had been laid down on that line between Southamp-
ton and Dorchester ?

Lird STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that although
no person had been sent down to iniptct the works, he
was informed that a double line of rails bad been laid
down for six miles of the distance, and the remaining 25
miles had been contracted for.

SALE OF POISONS.
The Earl of WESTAIEATEI begged to ask, as the
Government had not brought in any measure with
respect to the sale of poiso❑s, whether it was their inten-
tion during the recess t, turn their attention to the sub-
ject, in order to ',dug in a bill to meet the evil of which
he complained. The noble lord then mentioned certain
cases in which fatal results bad followed in conse-
quence of chemists' shops being Lift in charge of
very young persons.

The Lad) CHANCELLOR—The subject, as before
remarked, bad been under the consideration of the Go-
vernment, and although he could not give a distinct
pledge that next session a bill won't' be brought in to
restrain the sale of poisons, yet the noble earl might rest
assured that the subject would not be lost sight of, but
that the most serious" consideration of the Government
would be given to it. It had been suggested that che-
mists' shops where poisons were sold shoul I be licensed,
and thus to a certain extent the evil might be met, but
he thought it was impossible to meet by legislative
enactment cmes of carelessness.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said poisons in
chemists.' Shop ought to be kept in certain shaped bot-
tles, or coloured papers.
Tb.s subject then dropped.
