I MPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, illarchl7.
RAILWAY COMPANIES CLAUSES CONSOL

DATION BILL.
On the motion of Earl DALHOUSIE the Companies
Clauses Consolidation Bill went through Committee, and
the report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow.
PAUPER LUNATICS.

Lord MONTEAGLE said that he wished to draw
attention to the Bill which he had had the honour of pre-
senting to their Lordship?. His object was to obtain a
better mode of treatment for pauper lunatics. It was
well known that in many parts of the country the gaols
were full—not of criminals—but of pauper lunatics, for
whose care and medical treatment no provision whatever
had been made. His object was to extend to Ireland
the benefits which were already enjlyed partially in
England, and he wished to give to the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland a power which he did not at present possess,
namely, that of classifying lunatic asylums. This would
be a great boon to the country, and if he could obtain
the assistance of her Majesty's Government he should
feel it most valuable, or if her Majesty's Government
would themselves introduce a Bill on the subject he
should be most happy to render whatever assistance he
could to carry it to an early completion.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said his Right Hon.
Friend, the Secretary. for Irela, d had given notice in the

other House of Pi;rlisment of his intention to bring
forward a measure on this subject, which he proposed to
perfect during his visit in Ireland.
The Bill was then read a first time, and their Lord-
ships immediately afterwards adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 17.
SCOTCH POOR-LAN.
Lord DALMENY rose to put a question with refer-
ence to the poor-law of Scotland. The House would,
no doubt, recollect that a shoji time ago he had asked
the Right Hon. Baronet whether it was the intention of
her Majesty to propose in this session of Parliamt•nt
any legislative measure for the amendment or alteration
of the poor-laws of Scotland. To that. question he had
received a very courteous, but not a very definitive an-
swer;-and he now wished to ask whether it was the inten-
tion of her Majesty's Government to propose any legis-
lative measure for the alteration or amendment of the
poor-law of Scotland ; and, if such were their intention,
at what period of the session such measure would be
laid on the table of the House ?-
Sir J. GRAHAM said that notwithstanding the great
mass of business which had pressed on the attention of
his collegues and himself at the commencement
of this session, he could assure the Noble Lord that the
important subject to which his question referred had not
been overlooked by her. Majesty's Government ; but
he would venture to suggest to the Noble
Lord and to the House, that the interval of the Easter
recess should still be given to them before they returned
a definitive answer. He would undertake that, on the
first day after the Easter recess, either he himself, or the
Lord-Advocate of Scotland, would announce definitively
the course which would be taken by her Majesty's Go•
vernment, on this subject. Whilst lie was on his legs,
seeing the Noble Lord the Member for Dorsetshire, be
begged to say that he observed that a very important
Bill introduced by that Noble Lord stood, far the
second reading on Wednesday next, namely, the Bill re-
lating to calico print-works. That Bill was introduced
on the 12:1 of the present month, and, as it had not been
in the hands of Members more than three or four days,
he hoped his Noble Friend, considering the extreme im-
portance of the subject, and the great interests involved
in the Bill, would consent to postpone the second reading
of the Bill until after Easter.

Lord ASHLEY said he had been most anxious that
the Bill should be proceeded with before Easter, but
with a view to the public convenience he would post-
pone it until Wednesday, the 2nd of April. He must,
however, be allowed to remark, that he was astonished
that her Majesty's Government should hesitate to
affirm the principle only of such a measure as that--
a measure which went no further than to limit the
labour of children under thirteen years of rge, below
a period of sometimes not less than thirty-six conse-
cutive hours.

The order of the day for the second reading of the
Calico-printers' Bill was then read for the purpose of its
being postponed until April 2.

AUCTION DUTY.
Mr. BRIGHT beggcd to ask the Chancellor of the
Exchequer a question with respect to the proposal of
the Government, as to the removal of the auction duty.
He did so on account of a letter which he had rt ceived from
Haddington, in Scotland. The writer stated that it was
there customary for things not only to be sold free of auc-
tion duty, but by parties who had no auctioneer's licence, if
it were sold on the farm or the estate where it was produced.
It was stated to be quite impossible, on account of the
small trade which was carried on, that it could be worth
the while of parties to pay the auction duty ; and he
wished to ask whether the Government proposed to con-
tinue to the produce of land the particular and special
favour of being sold without the licence of an auc-
tioneer ? If not, he thought extreme hardship would be
inflicted in the case of individuals placed in the same
situation as the person to whom he bad referred.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER must
