which in the last century were directed against the peo-
ple of Massachusetts for making a piece of work about
some new farthings. The fact was, that a great princi-
ple was at issue in each case.—(Hear, hear.) The Go-
vernment now took credit for not having landed the
convicts at the Cape, but everybody knew they were only
prevented from doing so by the resistance of the
colonists.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord asked
triumphantly whether it was tyrannical to call upon
the people of the Cape to state whether they
had any objection to receive convicts ? No one said
that it was. The tyranny complained of was in not
waiting for the answer. He had no intention of getting
rid of transportation by a side wind; all he desired was
to deprive the Queen in Council of the power of sending
convicts to any colonies except those already appointed
for that purpose. The present system, if continued,
would lead to the abolition of transportation in a few
months. He entirely dissented from the argument of
the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir G. Grey) that, as the
Crown had the power of revoking the orders in Council,
the colonists ought to rest satisfied with the present state
of the law.

Mr. ANSTEY inquired wh2ther the Ilon. Gentleinan
asked leave to bring in a Bill to abolish transportation or
a Bill to ruin and demoralize Vau Diemen's Land?—(A
laugh.) In the former case ho should support the Hon.
Gentleman.

Mr. ADDERLEY regretted the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman had not been present during the debate. The
object of the Bill was neither the one or the other.
The House divided; the numbers were—
For the motion ... ... 32
Against it ... 110
Majority ... —7B
On the motion of Mr. E WART, the Committee on
Public Libraries was re-appointed.
Mr. PUSEY moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the
improvement of the relations between landlord and tenant
in England and Wales.
Mr. AGLIONBY objected to a Bill being introduced
unless there was a reasonable prospect that it would be
adopted. He acknowledged the zeal of the Hon. Gen-
tleman, but thought it would be better to leave landlords
and tenants to settle for themselves questions relating to
buildings and the like.
Mr. PUSEY explained that the Bill was simply an
enabling Bill. It did not compulsorily interfere between
landlord and tenant.

Leave was given to bring in the Bill; and the House
adjourned at Ten o'clock.

Mr. Ansley paired off, on Mr. Fagan's motion only,
with Lord John Manners, from half•pa,st six o'clock.
