upon which legislative measures might be enacted. Let
the Government remove the impediments which existed
against the exercise of labour ; and they would have no
necessity for such restrictions as those now proposed.
Mr. HAWES said, he must certainly, so long as re-
strictions upon trade existed, vote against any
proposition which would have the effect of restricting
labour. He was sure that while they existed it was
absolutely essential, to enable the manufacturers to
make a fair profit, that they should impose excessive toil
upon the operative. He would ask the Govarnment
were they determined to uphold those restrictions ? If
then the Right Hon. Baronet opposite were to adopt a
different course with respect to protective duties, he for
one should not oppose the restriction of labour, but
until then he should oppose the introduction of this Bill.
Sir C. NAPIER hoped that the House would support
the Ten Hours' Bill.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
COUNTY COURTS BILL.

Sir JAMES GRAHAIII then rose to ask leave to
bring in a Bill to amen' the jurisdiction of county
courts. The county courts were some of the most
ancient courts in the country, and in them there was no
limit to the extent to which pqrsonal actions were brotight.
But one defect was, that under the writ of justitia
parties were allowed to remove their suits to West..
minster Hall, without being obliged to give security for
costs. That was a defect which it was proposed to re-
move by the present Bill. The cumbrous machinery
which had been altered in the superior courts had
remained unchanged in the country. That, also,
was a defect which it was intended to remove. He
proposed, also, that the judges in those courts should be
paid by salary and the clerks by fees. In courts that
might hereafter be formed the clerks should be paid by
salary. With respect to the extent of jurisdiction, he
had, on mature consideration, decided that to go to 15/
The subject matter to be cases of simple contract, breach
of agreement, &c. As to the form of proceeding he pro-
posed that the plaintiff should serve the defendant
with notice seven days before trial; and that if both
plaintiff and defendant were in the district, the suit
should not be taken out of the district. But if the
plaintiff were out of the district, he should have the
option of bringing the suit, either in the county courts
or in the sup: rior courts ; and if the parties should re-
quire a jury, it should be competent for the judge to
grant a jury which need not consist of a larger number
than five persons ; it should also be competent for the
court to make an order, for payment of debt, by insta!-
ments, and judgment might be taken either against the
body or the goods. •
Mr. WARBURTON trusted if there was to be an ap-
peal, it should be confined to one exercise only of the
right. He hoped the examination of both parties would
be allowed. This was the case in the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, and he did not see why the system should not be
made to apply to the proposed new courts.
Mr. CRIPPS considered that the examination of both
parties involved a question of great doubt and delicacy,
which would require great consideration on the part of
the House.

After a few words in explanation from Sir J. GRAHAM
and Captain PECHELL, leave was given to bring in the
Bill.

Sir J. GRAHAM obtained leave to bring in a Bill for
regulating the bailiffs of inferior courts.

- - . POOR-LAW BILL.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Order of the Day for
the committal of this Bill stood for Monday ; with the
permission of the House he would now move that it be
read, for the purpose of postponing it to April 26.
FACTORIES BILL.

Sir J. GRAHAM then brought in the Factories Bill,
which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a
second time on Monday, the 22d of April.
The RIGHT HON. BARONET also brought in the County
Courts Bill, and the Bailiffs' Regulation Bill, both of
which were read a first time, and ordered to be read a
second time on Monday, the 15th April.
The House then adjourned at a Quarter to One till
Monday.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING—FRIDAY.

Except in that grand essential with the multitude—quan-
tity, the bill of fare provided for yesterday's racing was of
moderate pretensions; the Trial Stakes, the only event of
any importance in the estimation of the betting community,
had an entry of only eight horses, taking them as a lot, of
inferior grade. It did not fail; however, to produce some
effect on the Derby betting, Sir Gilbert Heathcote's outsider,
Akbar, having achieved an easy victory, and, in consequence,
advanced from 100 to 40 to 1. At the same time giving
Campunero a lift of several points. The other races, if they
lacked importance, afforded a sufficiency of sport to satisfy
the largest company ever congregated at a Spring Meeting
on Epsom Downs. They were run off with a precision that
might have been expected from a zealous and competent
executive. The weather was brilliantly fine, and the course
in the most perfect condition imaginable. At two o'clock, to
the minute, the horses were started for

The Kentish Observer contains the report of' along
inquiry into a charge brought against the master of the Blean
Union, of having confined a little girl named Emma Hearn-
den, between nine and ten years old, at night in the dead-
room of the workhouse with a corpse. The evidence given
before the Poor-law Commissioner was contradictory, and
leaves it undecided whether the child was actually shut up
with a corpse by the workhouse authorities or not. The opi-
nion of the Commissioner is not yet known.
REPORTED TRAVELS OF THE QUEEN.---A night or
two since Captain Rous inquired of Sir Robert if the report
was true that the Queen intended to visit Berlin in May. Sir
Robert Peel replied, "Certainly not." He might, however,
have added that the report arose from a very natural cause—
namely, that in Mena is said, the Emperor of Russia will
come to England.—Punch.
The Princess Victoria, Captain Jackson, returned
from Antwerp to the St. Katherine's" Wharf, Tower, on Thurs-
day morning, after the very short passage of nineteen hours,
performed against a contrary wind.
BERLIN, MARCII 21.—1 t is said that our King has

ON THE VERGE OF THE GRAVE • OR, A MIRACU-
LOUS CURE BY HOLLOWAY 'S Pzus.—L.Tames Langley, a
ladies' shoemaker, residing in Allen-street, Goswell-street,
caught a violent cold about twelve months since, which,
being neglected, brought on a swelling of the legs and feet,
pains in the side and shoulders, night sweats, with inability
to keep food on his stomach; indeed, he was at last reduced
to such a state of general weakness and debility that no one
thought lie could long survive ; but, by the use of Holloway's
Pills, every dangerous system quickly disappeared, and he is
now as hale and as hearty as ever he was in his life.—Sold at
