IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.)
The SPIIILIR took the chair at two o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following private bills were read a second time,
and ordered to be committed :—Clyde Navigation ; East
Suffolk Railway ; Mid Kent Railway (Croydon Exten-
sion); British and Irish Grand Junction Railway.
THE DESTITUTE IRISH POOR.
Mr. BAGWELL asked the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land whether he could afford any information upon the
subject of a pauper woman of the name of
Nugent, who, after residing fifteen years in London,
was removed to Ireland by the parish authorities ;
also, to know if it was the intention of the Government
to introduce any measure for Reformatory Schools in
Ireland.

Mr. HO RSMAN said that be was not in a condition
to express an opinion as to the legality of the removal.
If the woman had resided for five years in one parish
she was irremovable, but if she bad not done so, Clon-
mel being her birth-place, she was removable
in law. He would call the attention of the poor-law
board to the subject. It was not the intention of the
Government to introduce any measure this session for
the establishment of reformatory schools for Ireland, but
to wait and see the working of such establishments i❑
England.

SEA. COAST FISHERIES BILL.
Mr. M'MAIION moved the second reading of this
bill.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND objected
to its second reading, because this bill, if passed, would
leave the Irish fisheries unprotected, and said be
would, therefore, move its rejection. The learned
gentleman referred to the bills introduced by the
hon. member in reference to this subject in 1852, 1853,
and 1855, and to his motion for a committee in
the last session, all of which bills were rejected
by the house, and on the motion for the committee he
was counted out. (Hear.) This bill proposed to
interfere with the authority of the Board
of Commissioners, whose 'regulations had worked bene-
ficially for the increase of the trade, in a manner
that he could not yield his assent. He con-
demned the manner in which the learned gentleman had
dealt with this subject, each of his bills differing from
one another, and he added that he should have no objec-
tion to a consolidation of the Irish '.fishery laws, that
had, as a whole, worked well.

Col. DUNNE objected to this bill. The acts in force
had considerably improved the fisheries. The great
evil was that fish was taken that ought not to be, and
in an improper manner, in the estuaries.
Mr. kennedy, Mr. Bowyer, and Captain Scobell sup-
ported the second reading.
Mr. Napier, Mr. Grogan, Mr. G. Butt, Mr. Meagher,
Lord Naas, and Mr. Bellew opposed the second reading.
Mr. M`MAIION replied, contending that the bill bad
not been discussed on its merits. So long as he had a
seat in that house he would never consent to the Irish
fishermen being deprived of their freedom to fish the
Irish seas without paying rent, or being subject to cer-
tain fines.

After some further discussion, in which Mr. M'Evor
and Mr. OTLAIIMITY took part,
The house divided, when the numbers were—

Majority ----175
The bill was accordingly lost.
JUDGEMENTS EXECUTION, &c., BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill, and the
consideration of the first clause was resumed.
Mr. M'MAHON withdrew his amendment relative to
the introduction of the various courts of record.
Col. DUNNE complained of the number of amend-
ments proposed to be made in the bill, which rendered
it almost unintelligible.
Mr. CRAUFURD then proposed the introduction of
the Courts of Common Pleas of Lancaster and Durham
as Courts of Record into the bill, which was agreed to.
Mr. CRAUFURD explained the effect of the numer-
ous amendments on the bill, and asked the committee
to proceed with the bill, when he would have it re-
printed and brought up with the report.
Mr. Hughes, Mr. G. Butt, the Attorney-General for
Ireland, Mr. Cranford, Mr. Napier, Mr. Clive, Mr.
Al:Mahon, Mr. S. Warren, Sir E. Perry, Mr. Dunlop,
and Mr. Whiteside addressed the house on the nature
of the amendment of the Attorney-General for Ireland,
which was of a legalcharacter, whether judgment should
be enforced on a memorial of it or on a copy.
The committee then divided, when the numbers were—
