COMMONS ENCLOSURE BILL, _
__

„On the motion for the second reading of this Bill,
Lord PORTMAN thought this a favourable opportu-
nity (f direCting the attention ( f their Lordships t,) the
subject of agricultural statistics. A few years since
there had been a panic ItintiOrtbe idea that there would
be a scarcity, whereas if they had had proper
statistical returns it would have appeared that
there was an ample supply of corn; MOT
or less concealed, and prices would not havetisep
as they had done, in the same way, be believed, that in
good years farmers had been led to entertain undue ap-
prehensions of a glut, which they would not have enter-
tained had they had proper statistical returns.
The Earl of GRANVILLE admitted the importance
of the subject.
After a few words from the Earl of MOUNT-
CASHEL, the Bill was read a second time.
THE EARL GREY EMIGRANT SHIP.

The Earl! of MOUNTCASHEL then rose, pur-
suant to notice, to move an address for—first, a return
of all papers connected with the Earl Grey emigrant
ship, in order to embrace the dispatches of the Lieu-
tenant-Governor of Sydney, with its enclosures; and
the report of the Emigration Committee therein re-
ferred to. Second, the communication from Earl
Grey to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant. Third,
the evidence and report of Mr. Otway, Poor-law
Inspector. Fourth, all correspondence from his Ex-
cellency the Lord-Lieutenant, addressed to Earl Grey.
Fifth, the reports of the Emigration Commissiorers, ad-
dressed to Earl Grey. Sixth, the reports of the Poor-
law Inspectors, Otway and Senior, on this subject; with
their marginal notes. Seventh, copies of letters from
the Poor-law Commissioners to the Belfast Board of
Guardians; with all other correspondence on the subject.

Earl GREY objected to the 'motion as unnecessary.
The papers laid before their Lordships contained
full details on the subject, and if, when
they should have been printed, the Noble
Earl considered the production of the documents
which he now moved for necessary they should be pro-
duced. He begged to state that he had not said it was
Be'fait board of guardians who had made the change of
persons complained of but the board of guardians of
Dungannon. He trusted, however, that nothing that
had passed would tend to check emigration to Australia.
He would now state, in order to correct
any false ideas that might exist on the sub-
ject, that out of 29,987 emigrants who had
gone out to Australia recently, only 486 deaths had oc-
curred. Nearly 200 surgeons had been employed in
this service, and there had been very few cases of actual
misconduct, although there had been some in which
surgeons had been reported as deficient in energy.
Many of the complaints which had been made on this
subject had turned out to be unfounded, and it was
clearly the interest of the owners and charterers
of emigrant ships to render that service as
perfect as possible, and he believed t' at
they endeavoured to the utmost of their power
to do so, and that, generally speaking, emigration
had been conducted in a manner highly honourable to
the individuals concerned in its superintendence and
highly honourable to the country.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHELL denied that the
surgeons of emigrant ships deserued the high character
e hich bad been given them by the Noble Earl, and the
silence of the medical men under the charges which he (the
(the Earl of Mountcashell) brought against them proved
the truth of those charges. The great majority of the sur-
geons were incompetent or vicious, because the remunera-
tion offered was not snfficient to induce men of superior
qsalifications, to accept the appointment. Many c f them
were merely apothecaries, and some of them only apo-
thecaries' apprentices. The Colonial-office must reform
the system altogether. He should on Friday move for
returns of penalties imposed on persons for breaches of
duty under the Emigration Act.
Earl GREY explained.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL rose, and was pro-
ceeding
to enter into details on the subject of which he
had given notice for Friday next, when
Lord BROUGHAM rose to order. It was not com-
petent for a Noble Lord to discuss a motion, or giving
notice of his intention to raise a discussion on it at a
future period.—(Hear.)
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL said that the Noble
and Learned Lord was the last who ought to have called
him to order as no one was so constantly guilty of

breaches of order as the Noble and Learned Lord

himself. The Noble Earl then proceeded amidst roars of
laughter, which frequently rendered him inadible, to show
that his conduct was petf,ctly in order, and concluded
by giving notice of his intention of moving on Friday
fur returns relating to the emigrant ship Sobraon, and
the subject dropped. It was understood that the motion
made by the Noble Earl this evening was withdrawn.
