IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

London and South Western Railway Acts Amend-
ment, Mersey Conervancy and Docks, Norfolk Estuary
Acts Amendment, North Western Railway, and Tiff
Vale Railway bills w.ere read a third time and passed.
ELECTION CO NI MITTEES.

The SPEAKER called on the memberi of the Lam-
hers of the L%mbeth and town of Galway Election
Committees to come to the table of the house to be
sworn. It wal then found that only a few of the mem-
bers were present, aad it was 'ascertained that in all
probability the others would not attend till 4 o'clock, on
which Mr. Colville, one of the members of the
committee, asked to be allowed to retire, but
Sir George Grey intimated that according to the
act, the hon. member must remain in the house
until he was sworn. On reference to the act, Sir
G. Grey discovered that members of committees were
directed to attend to be sworn at any time before four
o'clock. He, therefore, apprehended that the hon. mem-
ber -night retire, if he wi-bed, and suggested his attend-
ance again at half-past-three o'clock.
REFORMATORY SCHOOLS BILL. _ _ _

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. ALCOCK moved that the house go into com-
mittee on this bill on this day three months. He said
that this bill, if carried, would destroy the voluntary
efforts in favour of education. Three years ago a simi-
lar bill was pa-eed for Middlesex, but no steps had been
taken to put it in force, because the magistrates could
not agree as to the best course to pursue under its pro-
visions. Lord Brougham and Lord Carnarvon, and
others, who discussed the subject the other day in the
House of Lords, were unable to come to any practical
conclusion on the subject. The hon. gentleman entered
at some length into the great expense these schools would
entail on the public in extra taxation.
Mr. R. HANBURY seconded the amendment, on
the ground that the bill would destroy the voluntary
principle, and thereby impede the advancement of edu-
cation.
Sir G. GREY opposed the amendment. He denied
that this was a compulsory bill, and urged that the state
of society required such an enactment as that before
the house.

Mr. BRISCOE supported the amendment. He argued
that these schools under the provisions of this bill would
become juvenile prisons. He objected to the expense

ground
considered the expenses would be less than many hon.
members supposed. He approved of a compulsory
system of reformation throughout the country.
Mr, HACKBLOCK was in favour of the bill.
Mr. BUXTON considered the bill needless. The
present reformatory were well adapted for the require.
ments of the country, and the Government, instead of
superseding the voluntary system ought to supplement
it. The reformatory movement was advancing suffi-
ciently fast, and if the Government waited a few years
they would find it woul I supply the necessary wants of
the country. Ho objected to any further increase of
taxation, especially by justices, against the consent of
the rate-payers. who bad no voice in county expenditure.
Mr. MILNES supported the bill. He thought it
would have the effect of reforming the criminal popu-
lation. If it did that it would reduce the expense of
crime, and any measure that did that would relieve,
rather than increase, the burt.hens of the tax-payer.
