MIMI'S OF ADMIRALTY.

Sig• JAMES MACKINTOSH gave notice, that at an
early period after the recess be would bring for-
ward a motion relati►e to the state and application
of the Droka of Admiralty and thd Crown.
GAME LAWS.

Colonet ‘Voon, on rising to bring forward his
motion for a Bill to legalise the sale of Game,
observed, that for.the present he should confine
himself to explaining the nature of the measure,
and should give his opinion on the subject at
length during the progress of the Bill. By the
25th of George 11. it was made illegal to sell
Game ; he wished that this Act shOuld be repeal-
ed, and the subject put on a different footing.
When this question was proposed last year, sonic
Gentlemen had said that it would afford facilities to
poaching, but Übe thought that it would facilitate
that practice, instead of putting an end to it, he
Would not pro Pose it. His sole object was to pot
an end to the extreme magnitude of that evil;
one by which the British peasant started in that
road which ultimately tel him to every other de-
predation destructive of his morals and happiness.
The sale of. game had existed as long as Game
Laws had been known ; and the prohibition was
of very modern date. This, instead of Stopping
poaching, had tended to increase it. The Hon.
Gentleman proceeded to enter upon a long ex-
planation of the different Acts relative to the sale
of game, some of which, he observed,ihad occurred
in every reign, but all of which, it would be better.
now to get.rid of. Nothing could be.worse than
the present footing on which the law stood with
respect to. game. Fir therefore moved ,for leave to
bring in a Bill to repeal the Act (the of
George the Second), and to make other provi-
sions relative to the sale of game.
Sir C. llt:haam. was sorry the Hon. Gentleman
. .

had again brought forward the measure in which
he so completely failed in the last Session. The
Game Lacs might easily be unsettled, but it
would not he easy to settle them ,togain. He
strenuously argued against the proposed Bill, but
would reserve the fail expression of his sentiments
on the subject till it was before the House, if it.
Should be their pleasure to suffer it to be brought
in.

Mr. G. BANKES opposed the Bill, as he consi-
dered it went to pull down that fabric of laws re-
lative to game which had been sanctioned by the
wisdom of ages.
Mr. CURWEN condemned the Game Laws, as
being from beginning to end opposed to British
liberty,' and as being mest tyrannical and unjust.
If the Game Laws were done away, and a milder
system adopted, he believed it would have the
effect of increasing the quantity of game, siod
promote the sports of the Gentlemen of the coun-
try. If penalties were attached to the sale of
game, be thought they ought to fall on the buyer
rather than on the seller. -
After some further observations from Mr. L.
WELLESLEY, Sir E. BEYDGES, Sir F. BURDETT,
and Mr. IV. IVYNNE, Colonel WooP, in reply,
expressed a hope that the House would allow the
Bill to be brought in and printed, and afterwards
they,could alter its provisions as they pleased.
The House dividecl,when the numbers were—

Noes 34

RENEWAL OF COMbIISSIONS UPON DEMISE OF THE

CROWN.

Mr. PONIONBY rose, in pursuance of his notice,
to'call the attention of the House to the situation
of persons holding offices under the Crown, but
who were liable to be removed, on the demise of
the Crown, unless the successor to the Crown
should be pleased to continue them. The Right
Hon. Gentleman mats& that, by the 7th of 'Wil-
liam 111, it was enacted, that if, on the demise of
the Crown, any Parliament should be in existence, it
should continue sitting for six months afterwards,
unless the enceessor,should choose to dissolve it.
So, io the Act of Anne, it was declared that seve-
ral high offices, therein enumerated, should con-
tinue, aid that the persons holding tliein should

not be deprived of tlie enjoyinent ►►f them 14 the
demise of the Crown. Now, the object at the
13111 which he intended to submit to the HoOse
was, to carry the principle of these two bills into
effect, as to persons hol►ling offices, civil and mill-
tory, dining the pleasure of the Crown. It was a
circumstance ►n favour of this !Henson., that it
could not he considered to be one of party feel-
ing.--(llear.)—lt was impossible to say who
would be the successor of his Majesty, or who
were the persons that that successor ►night
to employ. By the operation of the law as it now
stood, many of the highest Officers in the Stare,
such us Lords-Lientenat►t, Governors,' and De-
puty Governors, Justices of tl►e Peace, and nil
persons holding commissions in the nrmy and
navy, moot lose their offices on demise of the
Clown, and go through a very expensive process
in having,the►n renewed. The s►►le object was,
therefore, that all persons holding► offices during
the pleasure of the Crown, should .coininne to
hold such offices unless the successor to 'the
Crown should think proper to remove them ; and
that it should not be necessary to talt6 out any
new patents for the renewal. lie wotild not then
enter more fully into the Merits of this question;
but should conclude With moving, that !eve .be
given to bring in a Bill, that all persons holding
offices, civil and military, during the pleasure of
the Crown, in the United kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, in Wales, it, the town of
Berwick-upon-Tweed, in Guernsey, Jersey, Al.
Berney, and Sink, and in all foreign Colonies and
Possessions, should continue to hold them on the
demise of the Crown, unless discharged therefrom
by the successor to the CroWn,
Lord CASTLEARAGii consented•to the introduc-
tion of the Bill, observing, that he should wait to

,re it 4 provisions .before he offered any opinion
upon it.
Mr. BROUGHAM suggested the propriety of the
(louse taking into Consideration the possibility of
the demise of the Crown previous to the dissolu-
tion of Parliament. It was now provided that
Parliament should continue for six months after
the demise of the Crown ; but he thought it would
be better to declare, that, unless dissolved at the
expiration of that-period, it should continue to
sit without the necessity of a new election.
Leave was_ given to'bring io'the
LUNATIC:4IOOII IN MELAND.
Mr. PF.EL rose to call the attention of the
House to the means of relieving the Lunatic Poor
in Ireland. The Hight Hon. Gentleman obierv-
ed, that the House of Industry in Dublin was for
'the reception of all classes of persons, without
any distinction as to lunatic.' Frequent complaints
had arisen of the want of accommodation for Such
persons, not only in Dublin, Cort, and Tippe-
rary, but in many other parts of the country. On
a representation having been made by him, reme-
dies-had been suggested of a temporary nature ;
but it aepeared that no -permanent relief could be
afforded, unless the counties to which the luna-
tics belonged could afford them some local aid.—
He therefore inquired into the accommodations
that might he found in each county,and it turned
out, that in 24 counties there was not a single
cell for the reception of lunatics. Even in the
counties in which some provisions had been made,
they were extremely inadequate. He should
therefore propose the appointment of a Commit-
tee for the relief of the Lunatic Poor in Ireland;
and that all Irish Member should sit in the Com-
mittee,
persuaded as he was that they must all be
ready to concur in so desirable an object.
Mr. W. WYNN thought the measure highly ne-
cessary ; and that, to say nothing of humane mo-
tives, it would be found highly 'economic..
Mr. Rosa stated, that there was in Ireland no.
house of reception for Lunatics except at Dublin,
Cork, and Wtverford ; that idiots strayed -about,
the sport Of boys, and maniacs the terror of the
neighbourhood. Smile' who had been taketi np
were dragged behind carts to Dublin, and'suffer-
ed so much, that their arms were afterwards am-
putated.

Mr. BARING agreed, that there could be but
tone opinion on the subject : but there were many
counties in England, as Hampshire for instance,
in which there was no receptacle for lunatics. If,
however, provisions were made fur the accommo-
dation of lunatics in Ireland, lie hoped the ex-
pence would be borne locally by the counties, and
not by the.nation nt large. It had been called a
matter of congratulation that there were no poor-
Inws in. Ireland ; and that afforded a stronger rea-
son why time expence of providing fot lunatics
should be local.

Al r;,lfnat.
stated,,that in, England the overseers
were obliged to provide for lunatics, and find a
place of proper reception for them ; and that a
Bill was now about to be passed, to render the
jurisdiction of Magistrates tnore effeclual in this

► aped.
Mr. Pm, stated, that there were some excel-
lent Institutions in Dublin for the reception of
Lunatics, and among others, the Richmond Lu-
natic Asylum ; but they had all been so overstock-
ed, that,local accommodations were become ab-
Aniutely necessary,; he agreed that the expellee
of these ought to be defrayed by the counties.
Alter a few words from Mr. CHOKER, the ques-
tion was put, and the Cummitte appointed.

I SEDITIOUS ASSEMBLY BILL.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL_ proposed that the
blanks should be tilled up on Thursday, as he had
several Clauses to propose. "
Sir J. MActut4Tosti presumed that Thursday
would also be a proper time for moving Amend-
ments.

After n few words from Sir C. Morloc, Lord
CASTIARBAOH, and Mr. W. SrllTrr, the report was
brought up, and the Bill committed for further
consideration on Thursday.

EXTENTS IN MD.
Mr. W. SMITH inquired, when it was intendec
to bring in a Bill for the regulation of Extentc,it
Aid?

The CHANCOLLOR of ther,XCITEGIVER intended
to propose the-Bill before the present period, but
had been delayed by the illness of a Learned Judge
in the Exchequer, whom'he wished to consult on
the subject ; and be now feared the measure must
be postponed till after the circuit.
Sir C. MoNCK hoped the Right Hon. Gentle-
man) was now in earnest : great disgust had been
excited, ,and gross injustice done, by the issue of
extents in aid since the subject had been men-
tioned last year, and it was high time that some-
thing should be done.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
considerable. progress's had been made towards
checking the evils. Undoubtedly, as the law stood
et present, undue advantages were allowed, which
could only .be removed, by legislative interference.
lie had made every exertion in his power towards
remedying the evil, :and the courts bud been per-
fectly impartial.
Mr. W. SMITH did not Conceive that the Courts
had been guiljy of any partialtty ; on the contrary,
he complaineil that these extents had been too in-
discriminately -granted ; and he hoped that no un-
necessary delay would retard the remedy pro-
posed.--7-Adjourned.
