IMPERIAL PARLIAIVIENTT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.)
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
Carew's Estate bill and Keay's Divorce bill were read
a third time and passed.
SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS, &c., PREVENTION
BILL.
This bill was considered and agreed to, after the in-
troduction of a clause that it should not Extend to Scot-
land, because the common law of that country met the
evil, and the machinery of this bill could not be worked
there.

POOR LAW (IRELAND).
Mr. BRADY asked whether medical Poor Law offi
cers were bound to attend on persons whose tickets of
attendance had been suspended in consequence of their
ineligibility to Poor Law relief from position and cir-
cumstances, but who alter wards got renewed tickets for
attendance without a!teration or oimunition of their pe-
cuniary circumstances. Also, whether in the event of a
Poor Law medical officer falling ill in the discharge of
his duties, or otherwise, the guardians had power to stop
from his salary the amount paid by them for his substi-
tute.

Mr. H. HERBERT believed there was nothing to
prevent persons from obtaining medical relief under the
circumstances in question. The matter might generally
be left to the discretion and good feeling of the Dispen-
sary Committees, but some instances of abuse undoubt-
edly existed which he should be glad to remedy if poe-
stble. In answer to the second question, it certainly
appeared rather bard to stop from the salary of the medi-
cal officer the amount paid by the guardians during his
illness to his substitute. He did not feel qualified to de-
clare the law on this subject, but any gentleelan who
fel; aegrieved might refer the question to the Poor Law
o,.mmissionere.
