inquiring into the judicial and diplomatic salaries, and
the salaries of official men with seats in Parliament, and
not inquiring into others. No one had said a word to
justify such a distinction.—(Hear,)

Mr. SANDFORI) tt en moved for a Select Committee
to inquire what restrictions should be placed on the style
of poisons.
Sir GEORGE GREY said the use of poisons was more
frequent than formerly, and the sale of them required
regulation. A Bill had been prepared on the subject.
The difficulty was to enumerate or define poisons, and
he thought the Committe would not produce the effect
the lion. Member proposed. He hoped the Hon. Mem-
ber would therefore withdraw his motion.
_

Sir R. INGLIS thought the Hon. Member ought to
withdraw his motion, having been assured that the Go-
vernment intended to introduce a Bill on the sulject.
Mr. BANKES said the Hon. Alernbtr might refer the
Bill when introduced to a Select Committee, if he thought
that course useful.

Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE then moved that the
House should go into Committee. pro forma on the
Elections (Ireland) Bill, which was agreed to, and amend-
ments insortcd.

The Defects in Leases Act Amendment Bill then went
through Committee, and K as ordered to be toad a third
time to-morrow (this day.)
AMENDED FACTORY BILL.

Lord ASHLEY wished to say, in explanation, with
regard to the Factory Bill, that he would substitute the
clauses now in his hand instead of those already pro-
posed, which would impose a further limitation of the
meal time, and gave notice that he would propose them
on Thursday next, and which would be printed with
the votes to-morrow. He had stated, when he got leave
to introduce a Bill to amend the second clause of the
Factory Bill, that he would not introduce any new
matter; but as it was impossible to carry out his views
without doing so, he thought it but fair to notify his
intention upon that point.
Mr. M. GIBSON said he thought sufficient time
would not be given to parties to consider the matter.
Lord ASHLEY said the amendments would be printed
to-morrow with the votes, and that he had no intention
to take the House by surprise.
The matter then dropped, and the House adjourned at
One o'clock.
