commendations had been unbodied in the Act of Parlia-
ment; but in order to mdify it so as to found on it a
practical working measure he had deemed it advisable
to send to Ireland a gentiman who was well-acquainted
with the working of the poor-laws in England ; and Mr.
Nicholls had been sent, ti Ireland, where, although he
had only remained a shirt time, he had collected a
great deal of information There were, in his opinion,
certain general principles of poor-law legislation, which
would be found as effective in Switzerland and in Spain
as they were in England tr Ireland, and those principles
ought always to be kept Aeadily in view. He regretted
that the Right lion. Genteman had not ascertained the
sentiments of the Irisi Members before he had
consented to the appointment of the Committee, but he
thought that, under al. the circumstances, the best
thing that could be done would be to rescind the order
which had been agreed to without discussion, although
he could not but wish that it had never been agreed to.
Sir 11. W. BARRON thought that the House and
country would be taken by surprise if the motion were
pressed to a division. He agreed with the Right Hon.
Baronet in the opinion which he had expressed as to the
operation of the poor-laws in Ireland; and as he con-
ceived that the appointment of this Committee would
lead to hopes which would never be realised, he hoped
the Hon. Baronet would withdraw his motion.
After a few words from Sir D. NORREYS,
Sir J. GRAHAM moved as an amendment that the
order be discharged.

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the
House divided, when there appeared--
For Sir J. Graham's amendment . . 42

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
for a Select Committee to inquire into the duties and
emoluments of the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery.—
Agreed to.

Sir DENHAM NORREYS moved for a Select Com-
mittee, to inquire whether the present townland valua-
tion of Ireland, made by the Commissioners of Valuation
under the Act 1 and 2 Vic., c. 52, can be made avail-
able for the imposition of poor-rate and other local rates
in that country ; and also, whether it be not desirable to
alter the principle on which the townland valuation is
now constructed.—Agreed to.
The County Rates' Bill was read a second time, and
was ordered to be committed on the 31st inst.

The Customs' Duties Bill went through Committee.—
Repnrt to be received this day.
The House then adjourned at One o'clock.
