IMPE itiAL PARLIAMENT.

I HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 10.
FIELD GARDENS BILL. •
Mr. COWPER moved the second reading of this Bill.
This Bill would confer great benefit on the poor man,
and he therefore confidently recommendedit to the House.
He proposed that in all future Inclosure Acts a portion
of the ltlnd shOuld be reserved fur the purposes of this
Act. The land, however, was not to be given to the
cultivators absolutely, but only the occupation of it, and
that upon lease. He trusted that the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman at the head of the Home Department (Sir
James Graham), would not feel it.. his duty to op-
po.se himself to the • Bill, for, if it was not permitted
to proceed, there could be no legislation upon the
subject during the present session. The Right Hon.
Gentleman had sufficient to do in his own department,
or he might invite him to take chargeof the present
Bill. But it was the -last " straw " that broke the
camel's buck, 'and that Right Hon. Gentleman's am-
cations were already sufficiently 'onerous; and indeed he
doubted'if it would be in his power to carry through
Psi•liament the manyßills alreadynnder his eare. Ile
( Mr. CoWper) should therefore strongly urge this Bill
upon the consideration of the House, more especially
as it was one so mush calculated to benefit the moral
and physical condition of the people.
• Mr. SHARMAN CRA WFORD 'seconded the motion
and gave his most hearty approval to the Bill. Wher-
ever the allotment system had been tried,-the production
of the land had been increased and the
condition of the labourers had been improved.
It was quite plain to any one who looked at the state of
England that it was not half cultivated, and if spade
husbandry were introduced it would afford increased
employment, and give increased produce. None of the
common lands of England should be inclosed except
such as were indispensably necessary. He- conceived
that it was not desirable to give less to the workingman
thanan acre, but yet would accept of less, so that it
might supp..rt him when he had nova sufficiency of em-
ployment ; but when ho had not, he did not •think less
than an acre would be enough to keep him in compara-
tive comfort. .
Mr. FERRAND expressed his sincere gratitude to the
Hon.,Member for bringing forward this Bill, and hoped
the Government would allow it to become the law of the
land. The allotment system answered remarkably well
in his (Mr. Ferrand's) district. The Right lion. Baronet,
the First Lord of the Treasury, hitherto recommended
the allotment system in the agricultural districts, and
there was no reason 'to think it would nut answer equally
well in the manufacturing districts. •
Mr. ESCOTT supported the motion. The allotment.
system, which worked such benefits, was purely volun-
luntary,- and he did not approve of the principle ex-
pressed by the Hon. Gentleman, of fixing the rent for:
land. He would wish to see whether a great deal of
benefit might not be clone without any legislative inter-
ference between landlord and tenant.
Mr. HUME said he thought the allotment system,
thonghestablislied by law, could be only carried out by the
zeal-of the local proprietors. He doubted the propriety
of the Bill. The situation of the humbler classes in this
country was distressing in the extreme, and worse than
that of any of the kingdoms on the Continent ; but he
thought some more searching and efficient remedy
absolutely necessary.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM would not oppose the second
reading of the Bill. He thought the allotment system
generally. good, but believed its success entirely de-
pended on the zeal of local proprietors.
.He felt sur-
prised that the Hon. Member for Rochdale recommended
in very strong .terms spade s husbandry and
small farms, but he (Sir James Graham) thought
they were, in many cases, the causes of distress. The
'real benefit of the allotment system was to give the poor
labourer enough to engage that time which would be
otherwise unemployed. He was afraid tliat the machi-
nery of the Bill would require great alteration in many
of its most essential details, but would nut, however, at
present, enter into any very critical examination. He
thought it one of the first duties of proprietors of land
to let small quantitieg of land to the industrious and
•well-disposed among ibe labouring classes.
Mr. CHILDERS, us a member of the Committee,
would express his concurrence in the provisions, of
the Bill..
Lord WORSLEY advocated the system of allotments,.
inasmuch as at would afford assistance, though not the
entire means of livelihood to the poor man. It was advan-
tageous to the poor man to be able to grow his own
vegetables, but he would not at all recommend the
system of apportioning waste lands out to the poor as
• gardens, fur they would not be-to them worth the ex-.
• pense of cultivation. lie would give the poor man a
garden besides his cottage—not a larger piece of land
at a distance from it. Having expressed this opinion he
would support the second reading.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on Wednesday next.
COURT OF ARCHES BILL.
. The second reading ot• the Court of Arches Bill was
moved.
Mr. H. ELPIIINSTONE opposed it as a very bad
thing—worse than any Bill he had ever known introduced.
• Mr. R. YORKE protested against the framing of the
Bill, and if it were persevered in, it would be his duty
to oppose it. The ecclesiastical law could be reformed
only by abolishing it.—(A laugh.)
After a few words from Mr. Escorr and Mr. HUeIE,
Sir J. GRAHAM said, that as this was an adjourned
debate, and he had already spoken upon it., he would
not now occupy. the IlOuse by replying to the arguments
on the other side.—(Cheers and laughter.)
The House then divided, when the numbers were—
For the motion
Against it
Majority — 13
GAMBLING ON RACE-COURSES.
Mr. CHRISTIE moved that Charles Henry Russell
should be heard at the bar by counsel against the Ac-
tions for Gaming Discontinuance Bill. '
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER asked
whether the petitioner Russell was or was not a party to
the actions now pending?
Mr. CHRISTIE said that he believed the petitioner
was a party to the actions.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed
the motion, on the ground that the Hon. Gentleman
who proposed it was able to state whether the petitioner
was or was not interested in the result.
Mr. CHRISTIE said that the petitioner was interested.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE supported the motion.
Lord PALMERSTON said that, in the case of
Wright, there could be no doubt about the land; it was
quite different in the present case. The plaintiff in this
case was only put forward as the screen df other persons.
Mr. M. GIBSON moved that the solicitOr for the pe-
titioner, who was in attendance, should be called in and
examined at the bar as to the intent of Mr. Russell in
the action.
The SPEAKER said that the motion could not be put.
After a short discussion the House divided. The .
numbers were—

Aes l4
Noyes 3O
Majority against Mr. Christie's motion 16
Mr. CHRISTIE then moved that the House should
resolve itself into a Committe upon the Bill that day
three months. He would offer every opposition to tie
Bill in his power.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied
that the course which he had taken was unfair. He
thought that the Hon. Member ought to have satisfied
himself that the allegations of the petition were true
before he presented them to the House.
Lord PALMERSTON thought that there was no
occasion for warmth of temper upon either side in this
case. As for himself, he had not pledged himself to
vote for the Bill or against it. He certainly thought
that it would be a bad precedent to call the petitioner to
the bar.
Mr. M. GIBSON thought that the Government had
taken a timid and hesitating part in respect to this Bill.
They had supported the Bill indirectly, but had waited
to see how the wind would blow. He should be glad to
see all penalties for betting . or private gambling done
uway with, but he wished the whole general subject to
be brought before the House and discussed, and not one
portion of that which chiefly affected the Parliamentary
friends of the Government in that House.
Lord STANLEY utterly denied that the Government
had anything to do with this measure, or took any in-
terest in it whatever. What their individual opinions
might be he knew not, but as a Government they had
nothing whatever to do with the matter either on way
or the other. The plaintiff then before the House was
only the nominal plaintiff; put forward to screen the real
one, who was a man of straw. The Hen. Member for
Weymouth ought to have satisfied himself he knew all
the facts and merits of the case More he had come be-
fore the House to advocate such a cause. Admitting,
however, that the man Russell was the real plaintiff, the
precedents for hearing him by couns4 having been
looked into that day, they were found to be against him,
and on that ground alone did he (Lord S.), not as a
Member of the Government, but as a private individual,
oppose the application now made.
Mr. VERNON SMITH said it appeared to him that
the Government had taken a most indecisive part on this
question, and such conduct he could not approve. The
question was whether qui tam actions were useful or not
—whether the law should remain as it is, or be altered—
and therefore it was not very creditable in the Govern-
ment to declare, through the Noble Lord (Stanley), that
they cared nothing about the matter. However, he quite
agreed with the llon. Member for Manchester, that
if these actions had been brought against poor instead of
against rich parties, the House would never have been
troubled upon the subject. Still he was willing to allow
the second reading of the Bill, in the hope that next
session the Government would shake off their indecision,
and bring the whole subject before the House, with a
view to an amendment of the law, and an adaptation of
it to the present wants and usages of the country.
Sir J. GRAHAM said he had been applied to by the
Noble Lord, the Chairman of the Gaming Committee, to
know what the Government intended to do in
reference to the subject on which that Committee
had just published its report. He had an-
swered that the report was Of a most able
and useful character, but at that late period of the ses-
sion it was impossible for the Government to apply its
attention to the subject. It would, however, he added,
be its duty to give its best attention hereafter to the re-
port and the evidence of the Committee, with a view to
legislate upon the subject during the next session of
Parliament. On that the Noble Lord asked him to
bring in a Bill to extend the Act lately passed until the
next session ; but he (Sir J. Graham) suggested that, as
Chairman of the Committee, he (Lord Palmerston) was
the most proper person to introduce it. He had intro-
duced it ; and he (Sir J. Graham) in his private capa-
city, and not as a member of the Government, felt it his
duty to support the Noble Lord. And in the coming•
session he had no hesitation in saying it would be the
duty of the Government to consider the whola subject,
with a view to the Parliament legislating upon at.
Captain BERKELEY said he would rather a sou of

his trent to the common hazard table than take up the
art of book-making, and all the—he had almost said
dirtypractices connected with . it. For his part, he
would never give a_ vote in, that House to screen a gam-
:bier, just because he .happened to be a rich man, or to
move in what was called the higher circles of society.
Sir GEORGE CLERIC said the hearing of counsel
was opposed on the ground that the petitioner was not
the real plaintiff in the case, and had therefore no claim
on the sympathy of the House, as he could not prove
that any injury was likely to accrue to him from any
legialation that WAS about to take plaCe.
Colonel PEEL said, in reference to what had fallen
from a Learned Judge on a late occasion, as to gentlemen
associating with a certain class of persons, he would
take,that opportunity of stating that he had never asso-
ciated with those parties. Till the day of that trial,
when he met the plaintiff and others in court, he had
never set eyes upon them to know them by name. And
as to their horses, he could no more hinder a -person
run uints his horse at a race, than he could hinder the
Learned Judge from walking over the course.---(Hear,
hear.). But the fact was, the vexation of these people so
alluded to (with his Noble Friend beneath him espe-
, cia:ly) was, that they would not associate with them all.—
(Cheers ) The cwas the real sore, and it was right it
should be known.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. 3L GIBSON said it had been charged upon Inm
tint as a member of the
.Gaming Committee he had put
queStions to the witnesses with a view of exposing-
part,es to the penalties of the law. 'This he strongly de-
nied. He had put questions solely with a view of getting
at the truth, and to do this, he would at any time give
every hour and every moment of his time.—(oh, oh.)
Yes, he would, though, to do his duty as a Member of
that House.--(Hear,' hear.) He denied that he had been
guilty of any unfairness whatever, and he thought Hon
Gentlemen who were members of that Committee,
would beer him out in stating that he had not in any
way, exceeded his duty.-e(Hear.)
Lord GEORGE BENTINCIC said he did not con •
eider' the conduct of the Hon. Member for Manchester,
CM the Committee, to have been altogether dictated by a
spirit of fairness ; but, before alluding further to this
topic.now, he must allude to another subject, about 'which
there seemed to be some doubt. A person had been
sued for 12,0001. for bets which he had made, amounting
to 23,000/., on a horse named Gaper, his (Lord George
.Bsntinck's) property, and it was. therefore; supposed_
that he (Lord George Beatinck) had some 'interest in
the result of that action, whereas, in truth, he was in no
wise interested.—(flear.) He must now say that he did
think the questions put by the Hon. Member for Man-
Chester on the Committee, had a tendency to support the
claim of the individual who pressed this most iniquitous
qui tam action—the Hun. Member asked one witness
-distinctly if he_ did not know something about 3,000/.
lost on a bet in the late Derby race.--(Hear, hear.) He
would further say that, had not the reverse been so
positively stated by an Hon. Member in that House, he
(Lord George Bentinck) would have firmly believed
that the object of ,these queries was to direct tho
prosecution. However, the public would judge
whether the inquiries of th© Hon, Gentleman
were not intended to prejudice the defendants.
He would not notice the 'observations of the
Hon. Member for Weymouth with respect to what
passed in the Court of Exchequer, but he would say
that he 'was willing that his conduct should stand the
test of a public scrutiny, which he knew he would come
out of blameless. It had been urged that this was a
piece of class legislatio. In answer to that, he begged
leave to state, that if these qui tam actions did not
affect persons of high rack and station, there never
would have been a single objection to the present pro-
ceedings.—(Hear, hear.) If they looked back but for a
comparatively short period to the history Of Parlia-
mentary proceedings, they would find there were
no less than twenty-three precedents, all relating
to persons of humble condition, in which these qui tam
actions had been suspended or discontinued by legis-
lative interfereu He had assisted himself on behalf
of the prinferse and pubiishcrs of newspapers, stage-
players, and coal-whippers. Hon. Members opposite
did not object to the suspension or discontinuance of
these actions, although they now raised their voices so
high in the present instance, when actions had been
brought by persons of the very worst description.—
(Hear.) He charged the Hon. Member for Manchester
with associating with a per Son who had robbed his• own
uncle's " —(Laughter)—which he thought suf-
ficiently discreditable.
Mr. AL -GIBSON-e-I deny it.
Lord G. BENTINCK—Yes, you deny it; but evidence
will be shortly taken, which will show that this person
constantly frequented the house of the Hon. Member, in
Wilton-crescent.
Mr. M. GIBSON—It is not the case.
Lord G. .BENTINCK—WeII, we shall see. The
Noble Lord, in a warm manner, and in severe language,
descanted upon the characters of persons not Members
of the House, and concluded by saying that an attempt
had been made to induce him to come to a compromise,
which he had indignantly rejected.
Mr. HUME denied in the strongest manner that his
Hon. Friend (Mr. M. Gibson) had done anything that
was not warranted by the strictest propriety. He did
not think the attack of the Noble Lord on his Hole
Friend was just or becoming ; and with respect to the
informer, about whom S 9 much had been said, he (Mr.
Hume) would have no hesitation in declaring that, for
anything he knew to the contrary, he would as soon
believe him as the Noble Lord.—(Laughter.) Before the
Noble Lord made such eharg.-s on his lion. Friend he
should have looked nearer horne.l.lis Hon Friend had stated
his opinions temperately and firmly, and just as he (Mr.
Hume) would have done had he been placed in the same
position ; and it was rather too bad that for so doing
he should be so foully attacked. The Hon. Member had
done his best to elicit the triith=no easy matter—and it
did appear to him incomprehensible how Hon. Members
could cheer the Noble Lord in his attack upon the Hon.
Member-for Manchester, who had only done his duty.—
(Cries of " Hear.") He understood the meaning of that
cry and of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's cheer, who
understood nothing whatever about the subject.—
, (Laughter.) He must say that he had never heard so
much disclosed in that House about what passed in a
Committee up stairs, ncr did he think it proper or de-
corous for Hon. Members to accuse one another of their
conduct in a Committee up stairs.—(Hear, hear.) The
scene which had just taken place, as well as some others
of a similar character that occurred not long since, were
not calculated to elevate the character of that House in
the opinion of the people---(Hear, hear)—and ought to
be avoided as much as possible. He believed the pre-
sent Bill entirely resulted from class legislation, and
should therefore oppose it to the utmost of his ability.

Mr. ESCOTT defended the conduct of the Hon.
Member for Manchester (Mr. M. Gibson), which he
thought had been marked by extreme fairness on that
Committee of which he (Hr. Escott) was a Member.—
(Hear, hear.) The Hon Member was fair and impartial
throughout the whole inquiry, and his queries very much
assisted the Committee in arriving at the truth, and
coming to just conclusions.—(llear.)
Mr. HAYTER, as a member of the Committee, like-
wise defended the conduct of the Hon. Member for
Manchester.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said it was perfect nonsense to
say the Bill was not the result of class legislation. He
thought the individual who felt himself aggrieved ought
to be heard by :counsel at the bar of the House, as he
believed that injury had been unjustly inflicted .on him.
He would, however, as they had gone so far, vote for
going into Committee on the Bill.
Sir D. J. NORREYS rose, apparently labouring under
considerable excitement, and said that some very strong
and unwarrantable expressions had been cast upon him
by the Noble Lord.—(Cries of " Order," " Chair.")
The SPEAKER said the Noble Lord had retracted'
the offensive expression?.
Sir. D. J. NORREYS—Sir, I consider I have been
most unjustfiably assailed.—(Order.) However, if—
The SPEAKER—I understood the Noble Lord to
have retracted those offensive words.--(Hear, hear.)
After the Noble Lord made that complete retractation the
House will consider the wrrds not to have been spoken.
Sir DENHAM NORREYS—Then, Sir, I shall not
advert further to the expressions of the Noble Lord
than to say —(Ordc r.)
The SPEAKER a;4ain interposed, upon which
Sir D. NORREYS, :after in some measure expressing
his satisfaction at the retractation, said, if the Noble
Lord promised not to take advantage of the provisions of
the Bill he would not further oppose it.
Captain PECHELL deprecated the language which
had been used by the Noble Lord. He would oppose the

On entering the gallery we found
Mr. CHRISTIE expressing his regret for having ex-
pressed himself in so hasty a manner. He was in nowise
inclined to be factions, and would not persist in his in-
tention to obstruct the progress of the Bill. He believed
that the penalties wera extremely 'high, and he would
support a Bill for the suppression of thoe actions upon
thepayment of costs ? If the costs were given to the in-
former he would withdraw his opposition to the Bill.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that there had been an indirect
attack made upon him by a Noble Lord which was per-
fectly unjustifiable.
-14ir. HUME wished to have words inserted in the
first clause, by which costs should be given to the in-
former.

Lord PALMERSTON had no objection to the Bill
being made a discontinuing Bill instead of a suspending
one.

Captain PECHELL also thought tbat it would be
better to make the Bill one of discontinuance.
The amendment was withdrawn, and the clause
agreed tn.
The other clauses were also agreed to. The House re-
sumed, and the report was or lered to be received to •
morrow.

BOROUGH 01? SUDBURY.
Upon the motion that the House go into Committee
on the SudburY Disfranchisement Bill,
Mr. BLACKSTONE said that much as he depre-
cated the sytem of bribery which had been followed at
Sudbury, he did not think a case was made for the dis-
franchisement ' of the borough. He concluded by
moving, " That it be an instruction to the Committee- to
extend the right of voting for the future election of
Members to serve in. Parliament for the borough of
Sudbury, to all persons residing within the hundred of
