ficient cause, may discharge the child from the school before
the full expiration of the period for which he has been sent
there." That modification of the bill he considered would
be absolutely necessary to the satisfactory working of the
bill, which would otherwise act very cruelly in some cir-
cumstances.

Sir G. C. LEWIS thought the power had better be left
to the Secretary of State, who would have not only the
power of discharging the child, but an interest in doing
so; because the charge upon the public would thereby be
lessened. Besides, the 14th clause contained an absolute
power of discharge.

Mr. DUNLOP thought it a bad principle that a child,
when it was desired to remove it from one of those schools,
could not be removed without an application to the Secre-
tary of State.

The clause was agreed to, and the house having resumed,
the Chairman reported the bill as amended.

QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT BILL.
The order for the third reading of this bill was read and
discharged, for the purpose of its being re-committed.
CHATHAM DOCKYARD ENLARGEMENT BILL.
The house then went into committee on this bill.
Lord C. PAGET said that the town of Chatham was not
opposed to the bill, which simply took powers for the en-
largement of the dockyard. The city of London had
demanded the insertion of a saving clause, but there was a
question as to how that was to be done. He proposed there-
fore to report progress before reaching the last clause, in
order to introduce the clause on a future day.
The several clauses, excepting the last, were then agreed
to, the house resumed, and the chairman reported progress,
and obtained leave to sit again.

Sir G. LE WIS obtained leave to bring in a bill for the
appropriation, in favour of the Military Knights and the
Churches of Windsor, of two of the canonries suspended in
the chapel of Windsor which was afterwards read a first
time.

The other business on the paper was disposed of and the
house adjourned at half-past one o'clock.
