RECEN P TRIAL ON THE WESTERN CIRCUIT
FOR THE MURDER OF A WORKHOUSE GIRL.
Mr. FIIZROY said a report had appeared in the
public journals of yesterday of the trial (:f two persons
in the west of England, before Mr. Justice Talfosrd,
for the murder of a young person, the details of which
had excited the indignation and horror of the public.
Ut.firtunately, V.rough some legal informality, the per-
petrwors of the horrors to which he rtferred had es-
caped without punishment; but in the course of the in-
vestigation it appeared that the master of the work-
house from whom the girl had been procured, not only
failed to discourage the treatment she bad received, but
a:tually incited Vie perpetration of further barbarit'ex.
The question which he wished to ask of the President
of tie Poor-lag Board vvai whether he had given, or
intended to give, directions for a most searching inves-
tigation into the conduct of the master of the work-
house?

Mr. BAINES replied, that the Poor-law Board had
thought it would Le unbecoming to take any steps with
reg,rd to the two persons impliested in the transaction
while they were in the hands of the law, but they deemed
it necessary to direct a most searching inquiry into the
matter, and he could assure the Hon. Gentleman that it
would be prosecuted to the utmost.
BRI DOE WATER HOUSE.

Lord DUNCAN moved for a copy of any application
for permission to build walls in the Green-park in front
of Bridgewater-house, and also any minutes or other
documents relating to the garden attached to Bridge-
water-house, which have been passed or considered by
the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests.
He was exceedingly anxious to explain with regard to
this motion, that it was by no means a personal matter,
nor was it in any way intended to reflect upon the
Noble Earl who was immediately concerned.
He believed that the encroachment on the Green-park
was made without the knowledge of the Noble Earl, but
it was made with the knowledge of his architect, who
was anxious to make an Italian garden before the house.
He was exceedingly sorry to hear that the architect, who
was also an officer of the Woods and Forests, had not
yet made his report on this subject, because it convinced
him that any party might make encroachments on the
Green-park and a number of weeks would elapse before
the Commissioners of Woods could take any notice of it.
The lease was grantel in 1795, but it was quite clear
froth what Mr. Fordyce, who was then the manager of
the Crown Lands, had stated, that the right to make
this encroachment was never even contemplated by the
lease, and really something ought to be done in this
matter, or the opinion that Crown lands consisted of
property upon which anybody was at liberty to make
attacks would gain ground. He was therefore anxious
to know, in the first place, who had granted permission
to make this encroachment, and to whom was it that the
permission had been conceded?
Sir DE LACY EVANS seconded the motion.
Mr. BANKES did not know wile eller the Noble Lord
made this motion on the ground that the embankment
would prove objectionable or injurious to the neighbours
who resided near to Bridgwater-house, or on public
grounds only. If it were based on the former of
these grounds the motion was perfectly justifiable;
but if on the latter, he as one of the public
must be allowel to say that so far from suffering any in-
convenience from this encroachment, he thought it
would give an advantage to him, and the public gene-
rally, one of the most splendid palaces in point of
architecture, which would prove an honour to the coun-
try and an ornament to the park, and instead of this
garden and embankment being likely to result in an
annoyance or a nuisance to the public, he thought it
would turn out to be a source of delight to him. He
was old enough to remember when the Green-
park wai a receptacle for filth, and a dis-
grace to the Crown, but now it was a
place of beauty, and an agreeable resort for the public;
and gas dens of this description, instead of being an in-
convenience, were a source r f much pleasure and enjoy-
ment to the public. If, therefore, it should be found
'necessary to modify the t rum of the lease to authorise
the completion of the garden. which was ail the palace
wanted, he, for one, wee quits ready to support any
enactment for accomplishing that object.
Sir DE LACY EVANS observed. that the speech
they had just heard ought to be viewed in the light of
heirig favourable to the motion, for is was just that
stinide want of a garden to complete the beauty of the
palace' which V‘rti likely to prove so it jurious te the
public. If they allowed this encroachment to he
made on that principle, where was it to end? The
palace required a small garden; well, other structures in
the same neighbourhood might require gardens, too ;
and ultimately the Green-park, which was considered
to be one of the lungs of the metropolis, would be di-
minished to very small dimensions indeed.
Sir B. HALL iaid that the lion. Member for Dorset-
shire had corraphLiaed that the NoiAe Lord the Member
for Bath had not based this complaint on any allegation

of individual grievance. He (Sir B. link ). as .T, e foe.
metropolitan Members, had to thank The Noble Led ea
bringing not only this matter, but nearly .0 c
De( tpd with the public parks, before tTe Fl once.
If the Hoe. Gentleman, the Member for Dorsetshire,
wished to know whether any complaints had been made

bring it before the House.
Lord J. RUSSELL admitted that it was a matter of
the highest importance that the public shuttle oe gua-
ranteed the enjoy ment of the open air in every part of
the public parks, but ho could not think that what in
this case had been alleged as a complaint had been aey
pubic incouvenicneo.—(flear.) He certainly was sur-
prised to sue that a wall was rising which seemed as if
it were interekel to make the garden of Bridge-
water-house entirely private. I-fe understood,
however, the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests had interfered, and that upon their remonstrance
the design, which was an original plan of Lord Ellesmere,
was abandoned, and this lower wall was Legun. With
respect to this well, which was some two feet high in
one pkce, and four feet in another, he (Lord Rut,ell)
did not think it would be any impediment to the public
seeing the house or any exclusion of the air. But
in the original lease there was a clause prohibiting
the building of a wall in that place. He believed, how-
ever, there was no clause probibiting any mound of earth
being raised there, or the placing of shrubs on that
mcund of earth.— [Mr. HUNE—" Yes, there is."]—But
be owned he did thick the lower well, b. ink; in itself
an architectural ornament, would ba more appreciated
by the public than any consideration of excluding
the air from the garden. He cgreed
with the Honourable Merril er for Dorsetehire
that this building was a very great ornament to the me-
tropolis. It seemed to him (Lord John Russell) to be
built in very great taste; and he never walked in the
Green-1 ark that it did not attract his notice as being a
very great ornament to the metropolis. Unlike the man
who bought a beautiful picture, or a flue statue, which
he placed in his own house, and exhibited to a few per-
sons, they had in Bridgewater-house a beautiful piece
of architecture, erected in a public place, fur the pejo) -
ment of every person who walked or drove near the place.
He thought that the public were very much indebted to
the Earl of Eilesmere for tee improvement he had made.
In the former arrangement of the park the ee es of the
public were offended by a piece of scrubby ground,
which was now transformed into a very pleasant view
by that Noble Lord's improvement. He was sure that
persons walking upon that same piece of ground must
derive much g: eater enjoyment from that walk now than
ever they had done float that scrubby piece of ground.
lie was sure that the public had no right to complain of
the improvements which had been made. At the same
time he thought that the Noble Lord was
quite right in bringing these things before the
notice of that IIouse; but still in this case he hal
no right to complain.
Mr. HUME was sorry that the Noble Lord had thought
right to speak so lightly of the encroachments which had
been made. No poor man would be allowed to make
such encroachments, and he did not see any reason why
it s:tiould be allowed in this instance. These encroachments
were i,legal, and toe Treasury had nut the power
of sanctioning them. He thought the public
were much indebted to the Noble Lord for
callieg the attention of the House to these eircumstencee.
He had no desire to reflect at ell unkindly upon the Earl
of Ellesmere, who had shown a great with that the public
should enjoy the utmost advantage that he could throw
open to them, and who had declared than, after admitting
the public to his gallery, the ()illy injuries which had
been done to it were not from the general public,
but from the curiosity or carelesseess of the " gents."
—(Laughter.) The lease under which the property
was held was granted in '97; and in that there was a
prohibilon not only for the wall but f,r the embank-
ment. lie contended it was the duty of the Govern-
ment to remove all that had been put up to the incon-
venience of the public. the embankment was deci-
dedly illegal, and he would also venture to suggest that
the encroachments made by the Puke of Sutherland on
the opposite tide were also illegal. The Noble Lord would
of course have the goodness to inquire under what au-
thority these encroachments had been made. No Act of
Parliament had been passed to enable the Duke of Su.
therland to make these encroachments, and without such
an authority it was decidedly illegal. He thought it
was the duty of Government to remove the nuisance as
speedily as possible, and they we re very
much indebted to the Noble Lord who had brought
the subject forward.
Mr. HAYTER wished to correct the statement made
by the Hon. Member for Montrose with respect to the
powers invested in the Noble Duke under the lease
which he holds. In a Committee which sat last session,
under the Presidency of the Noble Lord the Member
for Bath, a most rigid inquiry had taken place into the
rights under which these alleged encroachments
had taken place, and it was discovered that a great
many nuisances had been removed, but no detriment
had been done to the interests of the public. The Floe.
Member was certainly right in saying that the building
of the wall was illegal, but he (Mr. Hay ter) contended
that that erection was no,detriment, but a great addition
to the interests and enjoyment of the public.
He had seen the lease, and according to his interpreta-
tion of the covenants, it was extremely doubtful whether
Lord Ellesmere had not the power to raise a high em-
bankment before the mansion, and thus exclude the view
of the public altogether.—(Hear.)ear.) _ The lease said that

no shrubs or tiles should be pknie3, so as to ir.torropt a
view of the 'ark from the adjoining houses, bet this did
not refer to any obstruction of the view from the park
in a direction towards the houses adjoining it. There

could be no doubt that if the strict terms of the lease
were adhered to, the structure would he gteatly injund,
and every lover of architectural beauties vroutd lament
the circumstance.
Mr. S. WOItTLEY opposed the motion. He
agreed with previous speakers that the removal
of the wall would be a great public injtry, in. Lead of an
improvement. The question was not one of encroach-
meat, but one as to the breach of a covenant in the
lease. If Lord Ellesmere had desired to act in a con-
trary spirit, he might, under the lease, have erected the
wall so high as to obstruct the view from the park alto-
gether—(Hear, hear)—but he had no such intention.
It was publicly known that ho was one of the greatest
patrons of art and science in the country, and he had
lately gone to additional expense in erecting a separat,
entrance to his picture gallery, through which the
public were to be admitted to view his collection of
works of art.—(Hear.) It the Treasury or the office
of Woods and Forests were induccd to adhere strictly to
the terms of the lease, he was convinced that they would
act contrary to the public feeling in the matter.
Lord I)UNCAN replied he should never have brought
forward the subject it the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests had done their duty. The question was %alit ther
the Noble Lord, under the lease, had a right to erect
the wall, and it was his opinion that he had no power to
do so, but the mater would be set at rest if the Govern-
ment would farnish him with a copy of .the lease, es
well as the other papers for which he moved.
Mr. HENLEY thought the House was very much in-
debted to the Noble Lord for bringing the subject under
the consideration of the House, because it was quite
clear that the ihteation of the parties was to build a wall
in front of the mansion. That wall was erectel, but had
since been reduced in height; but there could be no
doubt that if the wall had remained fa-ilities would
have been given to the parties to make mounds and to
plant trees ald shrubs upon them.
The motion was then agreed to.
ROYAL ACADEMY.

Mr. HUME moved for an account of the receipts and,
expenditure of the Royal Academy in each year since 1836
when there was 47,0001. funds,in hand, and showing the
amount of such funds now in hand for general
purposes. He, for one, would never -vote any
sum of money for the Royal Academy as long
as they had funds themselves. He did not want to touch
their money, but he would do all in his power to prevent
them having any of the funds belonging to the public.
He thought the conduct of the Royal Academy in rc-
fusing admission to the public to their exhibition without
they paid fur it was anything but laudable to them.
Mr. EW ART seconded the motion.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed the motion, con-
sidering it unnecessary and uncalled for. Be cer-
tainly regretted that the public admission was
not gratuitous, and he mentioned the subject to Sir
M. A. Shoe; but he said it they did, they would have
many pictures injured, and some of them stolen.
He (Lord John Russell) differed from him ; but
he did not see how this House could compel the Royal
Academy to admit the public to see pictures free which
were the property of the Royal Academy, nor could he
see how the Douse could compel them to give an account
of the state of their funds.
Mr. E WART said, many years ago, when the ques-
tion was whether the Royal Academy should have part
of the National Gallery, he insisted that it they ob-
tained a portion of the building, they beeameftirw
responsibleon
to its owners. When they occupied premises

Academy, and
could not, therefore, support this motion.
The House, however, had no right to pry into the
affairs of a private institution like the Royal Academy,
though it was to be deeply regrt tied that the Academy had
not acceded to the proposal to throw open their exhibidon
to the public. The obj.etion about the ininiltur, s was
pent
, L aiy ridiculous, and ought nut to have weighed in
the scale against, the propossl.
Mr. HA W ES contended that the Roy al Acadetny had
not; received anything from the public purse, ii..r did
they eccupy Vie National Gallery without a considera-
tion. They gave up to the public prt mires which they
previously occupied, and it therefore could hardly he
sail that the exchange removed them ft om thoir private
capacity. The funds raisett by the Royal Academy were
derived ert'rely
from the genius and talents of the
members thernze!ves, and the pubic could have no
interest in their application. Temit ely from private solaces, and applied toTiny were derived
private purposes necessary for the promotion of art
in this country, and the House had no tight
to call upon the Royal Academy
to disclose the nature
of their accounts.
Sir B. HALL said this fund was acquired by certain
payments made by the public for seeing pictures belong-
ing to the Academy, but in a building belonging to the
public. The It ,) al Aeadeutiei.,us had t. 16 it c xhtt.iti{Kls
in premises belonging to the public, and therefore it
was, he contended, that this proposed inquiry should

Friend t.l,f, M,,n-d.er for Nion'r,s,-.

Mr. HENLEY slid this question turnA t,pm the
point whether; or not this body was a public body.
If they held the building in v,hich they exhibited
their pictures by the sufferance of the Crown. they hal,
he contended, that building by the sufferance of Om
pro !• . If they held their exhibitions in a
build rg belonging to the public, it was from
that circumstance that most of their funds
accrued to them from year to year ; and if they had not
the use of that building they would;have to erect one
for themselves, which would go a great way to absorb
their funds. Ile doubted very much that this was a
public body. They had a charter, for example,
end they had been assisted by the use of public
buil‘irngs for carrying out the purposes of
that charter. If the Hon. Member for Montro.se pressed
this mater to a division, he (Mr. Henley) should cer-
tainly vote with him. _ _

Mr. NEWDEGATE could not see that this House
had any right to inquire into the funds of the Royal
Academicians, which was a private body, and as such had
a right to dispose of the produce of their own industry
as they thought proper. Such a proposition, ho thought,
would ba a gross infractien of the rights oprivate pro-
perty.
Mr. PHILIP HOWARD said, considering that the
only boon the Government had ever given the artists of
England was house room, it would be most ungenerous
on the part of the Government to exact from them a
statement of their private accounts. Be would quote the
words of Prior, the poet, on this occasion, which were
not more philosophical than true:—
" To Jack I owe some obligation,
But Jack unluckily thinks fit
To publish it to all the nation,
So Jack and I are more than quit."
Mr. HUME thought that the Hon. Member who bad
spoken last seemed to know nothiag about the matter.
When it was thought fit, the Royal Academy came for•
ward and showed their accounts, with great readiness, to
prove that they could not afford to build a place for
themselves. The Under-Secretary for the Colonies bad,
with unusual simplicity, said that the Academy had re-
ceived not a farthing from the public. Why they had,
Lad a house worth 3,5001., in a situation which had
greatly increased their receipts, and he calcu'ated, that
it proper management bad been used, the society ought
to be worth at least 103,000/.

INCOME TAX.

Colonel DUNNE moved fora return of the amount
of income tax paid in England, and reckoned as English
income, but which is derived from Irish property, who,
tber real property, mortgages, pensions, or property of
any other description.
Mr. HAYTER said that the Government bad
no objection to furnish such information but be
did not see what purpose it could serve.

Mr. FRENCH- vindicated the object of the motion.
He thought it wll3 quite necessary that at the prose°
time the financial crate of Ireland should be given forth
to the whole of the world, and that the true condition of
Lpland should be stated.

After a few words from Colonel DUNNE,
Major BLACKALL hoped, if his Hun. and Gallant
Friend postponed the motion, it would be on the divine'
underst4nding that, during the ensuing year, a column
giving the required information would be included in
the returns.
Mr. HAYTER replied that further information Could
not be given in the returns beyond that mentioned ,1.1/
the Act, hut he was not prepared to say whether the
particulars required by the lion. and Gallant Member
could be prepared in accordance with the statute.
The motion was then withdrawn.
