HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
Lord II ATHERTON presented a petition praying for
a, total cessation of' Sunday labour in' the Post-office.
-ASSISTANT-SURGEONS IN THE NAVY.
Lord REDESDALE presented several petitions pray-
ing for better accommodation for assistant-surgeons in
the navy.
The Earl of HARDWICKE opposed the prayer of
the petition. It woald be subversive of discipline if they
were to mess in the ward-room; the room in which they
messed was the gun-room, the best in the ship.
They had the conspanion,hip cf their own fellow-
assistants, and their presence and example was useful
in keeping order among the midshipmen, and setting
them a good example. Ho had a petition to present
with the similar prayer, but he thought that the peti-
tioners did not understand the subject.
The Earl of MINTO agreed with the Noble Earl,
and regretted that the subject should have been mooted
by those who were totally uninformed on the subject.
