POOR-LAW BILL.

The Committee on the Poor-law Bill was fixed for
Friday next.
The County Rates Bill was read a third time and
passed.

COUNTY CORONERS' BILL.
On the motion that the order of the day for the third
reading of the County Coroners' Bill be read,
Mr. HUME said he was determined to take the sense
of the House on the subject of that portion of the Bill
which went to increase the allowances of coroners for
mileage. The time was come when they ought to put a
stop to any further increase of the county expenditure.,
He, therefore, wished to see the twenty-first clause
expunged.
Mr. I'. HOWARD thought a case had been made out
for allowing the increased mileage, and he believed the'
counties in general did not object to it.
Mr. ESCOTT supported the Bill; and as the measure
had last year received the sanction of the House, he
hoped the matter would not be pressed to a division.
Mr. DARBY supported the clause.
Mr. HUME moved that the 21st clause be expunged.
The Bill had been lost last year in the other House, in
consequence of the increased allowances proposed to be
made to coroners.
General JOHNSON supported the motion of the
Hon. Member for Montrose. On all occasions of va-
cancies in the office of coroner, there was no lack of com-
petent candidates for the office.
Mr. W. 0. STANLEY had wished to introduce a
clause, enacting that the coroner should, at every assize,
give in an abstract of the inquests he had held in the
interval between the assizes; but as the Government was
opposed to the clause, he would not propose it.
Mr. WAKLEY contended that the mileage allowed
to coroners ought not to be reduced, seeing that they
were compelled to perform a duty for which no public
provision was made. The coroner was not appointed by
the Crown ; and, therefore, he met with no favour. •Ho
was elected by the people, and his -accounts were very
closely scrutinized, and every endeavour was made in
all cases to reduce his charges. He regretted that an
alteration had been made in this Bill by the Hon. Mem-
ber for Kendal with respect to the time of polling. As
the Bill originally stood, the polling was to last only
one day ; but an alteration had since been made in.
creasing that time. He trusted, that when the Bill went
to the House of Lords, the time for polling would be
again reduced to one day.
Mr. EVANS thought the present payment to core)•
ners was sufficient.
After a few words from Mr. DARBY the House
divided, when there appeared—
For Mr. Hume's amendment 23

Majority
The Bill was then read a third time.
Mr. WATSON moved that the petition of Lieutenant-
Colonel Leslie Frith (presented 20th June) be printed
with the Votes.—Agreed to.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (for Ireland) moved
for leave to bring in a Bill for the better protection of
purchasers against judgments, crown debts, lis pendens,
and commissions of bankruptcy ' • and for providing one
office for the registering of all judgments in Ireland ;
and for amending the laws in Ireland respecting bank-
rupts and the limitation of actions.
After a few words from Mr. SHEIL and Mr. REDING
TON, approving of the measure, leave was given, =Me
Bill was brought in and read a first time.
The House then adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock.

TTIE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The accour.ta
from the country on the whole are favourable. Thfre
has been a good deal of rain in many districts, which
has given new life to the crops. One of the provinc:a
journals states that " the crops are improving an.a..
zingly ; indeed, we had no expectation of seeing the
brown roots of a fortnight ago converted into the thick..
ening braids of this date. The pastures are also much
mended, and there is some little inquiry again for gray.
irig cattle that were scarcely saleable on any terms. The
only thing we hear of going wrong with the farmer
the potato crop." -
