POSTAGE ACT.

The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER moved
that the report on the Postage Acts be brought up.
Mr. WARM: objected to the bringing up of
the repo, t, on the ground, that upon it would be
founded the new system of the extra post. lie
for one would not consent to a measure which
must enact a system of inhumanity to horses :
" the righteous man careth for the life of his
beast." No greater expedition was wanted than
the mails at present accomplished. He moved
that the report be brought up on this day three
months.

Mr. 11. .GURNEY fully concurred with the llon.
Gentleman who spoke last.
Mr. J. MARTIN complained of the illegibility
of post-marks, from carelessness in imposing the
stamps. lle thought that it might be advisable
to allow the receipt of letters upon a Sunday on
pavincr a high postage to prevent abuse.

Mr. F. PALMER contended that horses wceild
not be more distressed by 11 miles an hour with
a light weight, than 8 miles an hour with a heavy
weight.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the whole expellee of the machinery was to be
borne ty the projector of the scheme. If ,Go-
vernment did not encourage the most speedy
made of conveyance, the present mail-system
might be very seriously injured. He did not see
that the new project would be attended with
greater cruelty to the horses. If the Bill in its
future stages should meet with reasonable objec-
tions, he was in no way pledged to the parties to,
support it.

fir 11. PARNELL stated some objections to the
plan.
Mr. JAMES approved of the undertaking. .
. Lord 'NUGENT said that regulations might be
introduced to obviate the objections on the score
of inhumanity. The invention appeared to have
great merit.
.Mr. Ifuic objected to- it on the ground that
the benefit, if any, would be confined to one line

of road. It would be better to quicken the mails
all over the kingdom.
Mr. BRIGHT opposed the measure by observ-
ing, that small tradesmen.would be injured, in-
asmuch as they could not afford the additional
expellee.

l‘rr. InculßD MArtris was against this mode
of hard driving, which he thought impracticable
and injurious.

The iillery was then cleared for a division,
when the numbers were—

For bringing up the Report, 24,1 Against it, 16 1 Majority, 8.
The Report w•as then brought up and agreed
to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in.—The
House then adjourned.

PA RLIAMENTA ILY PAPERS.

GAME,

A BILL for enabling the OWNERS of considerable Tracts
of Land to authorize PERSONS to PRESERVE and KILL

GAME thereupon.
Whereas by the existing Laws, the Owners of Lands, not
being lords of manors extending over the same, are not en-
abled to protect the Game upon such lands, or to have the same
killed for their use, or the use of other persons, by Gamekeepers
appointed by them for those purposes ; it is not only reasonable
that authority should be (riven that behalf to Owners of con-
siderable tracts of Freeholdb Land, but suchauthority would
tend more effectually to prevent the unlawful destruction of
Game by poachers and other unqualified persons.
Be it enacted, by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by
and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual anti
Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled,
and by the authority of the same, That from and after the pass-
ing of this Act, it shall and may be lawful for all and.every
person and persons having respectively or in the case of more
than one, having either jointly or collectively times
the clear yearly amount of qualification of lands and tenements,
or other estate, or in a lease or leases, which, by the Laws now
in force, authorize the keeping and using of dogs, guns, and
engines for taking and destroying. Game, and being the owner
or Joint-owners at law or in equity, in his, her; or their own
right, or in the right of his or their wife or wives, of any estate
of freehold in possession, consisting of acres
at the least of inclosed land, lying in any one parish, or lying
contiguously in two or more parishes, or consisting of
acres at the least of inclosed land, lying in' two or more contiguous
parishes, to appoint, depute, and authorize, from time to time,
by any writing under his, her, or their hand or hands, any per-
son or persons, whether qualified or not, to preserve, pursue,
and kill Game, for the use of such owner or joint-owners, or of
any other person of persons whomsoever, in, over, and upon
the same inclosed lands, or in, over, and upon any part there-
of, which may be so situated, and contain at the least such
number of acres, or contiguous acres, as aforesaid ; but so,
nevertheless, that not more- than one such Gamekeeper be ap-
pointed by any owner, or joint owners; in respect of all his, her,
or their lands, within the same parish.
Provided always, and be it further enacted, That nothing
herein contained shall enable the lord or lady of any manor to
authorize one person as Gamekeeper in respect of any lands
situated therein, bvirtue of this Act, and another person as
Gamekeeper in respect of the manor itself, by virtue of any
former Act or Acts, but where appointments shall have been
made of different persons in respect of both, the latter shall be
deemed a revocation of the prior appointment.
And be it further enacted, That the Laws now in force rela-
tive to Gamekeepers for manors, shall be applicable to Game-
keepers appointed by virtue of this Act, both with regard to
Game certificates, the entry of their names with the Clerk
of the Peace, and in all other respects so far as the same can
be made to apply and have relation thereto, anti to the lands
mentioned in their appointments respectively, so that every.
Gamekeeper so appointed, shall have and be invested with
all the same powers, privileges, exemptions, and authorities,
upon or in respect of such lands, as are now possessed by Game-
keepers for manors, and shall in like manner be subject and
liable to such and the same restrictions and penalties in certain
cases ; provided always, that nothing herein contained shall ex-
tend to empower any owner or owners of land, to make any such
appointment of a Gamekeeper over the same as aforesaid, in
cases where the lord of the manor or any other person hath tree
chase or free warren over such land ; or shall be construed to
affect the rights of his Majesty or his successors, or of the lord
or lady of any manor, lordship, or royalty.
And be it further enacted, That this Act shall extend to ull
parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
except Scotland and Wales.
