took off their cl6thes, there was no allowance of soap,
' and there were only two small jugs of water allowed per
day for all the prisoners, for washing and drinking ; the
only allowance of toed was a quarter of a quartern loaf
to each prisoner.—(Hear, hear.) There was no gaoler;
they were visited by the beadle in the morning and the
evening, and there was no power of procuring assistance
in cases of sudden illness. The shortest time of im-
prisonment in this place was ten days, but a prisoner
might be imprisoned forty days, and again detained
upon a fresh execution.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
Ile would not disgust the House by going into further
details, but he submitted that such a state of things
called for an immediate remedy, and it was much better,
in his opinion, to abolish imprisonment for small debts
than to attempt to remedy the defects of these goals, for
he regarded the principle of the law which allowed im-
prisonment for small debts as indefensible.— (Hear.)
If compensation to gaolers were necessary let compene
sation be granted, but he trusted the House would not
subject the unhappy debtor for six months longer to
these horrors.
Mr. F. 11. BERKELEY said he had presented a peti-
tion: against the Bill, but after the statement of the Right
Hon. Gentleman he felt that he could not support that
part of the prayer of the petition which asked that the
measure should be delayed.--(Cheers.) He hoped, how-
ever, that some alteration would be made in the 36th and
37th clauses.
The House then resolved itself into Committee.
On clause 2 being proposed,
Mr. SPOONER protested against the abolition of the
power of imprisonment merely on account of the im-
proper state of discipline in small-debt gaols. Those
defects might be remedied. The state of the Birming-
ham gaol was known to the Right Hon. Gentleman in
January.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that four gaols were all that
had yet been examined. He was afraid, that in their
main features, all these small-debt gaols were identical.
Mr. WAKLEY thought the system of credit most in-
jurious to the labouring classes. Ile would be sorry to
delay the Bill a single moment He had presented a
petition from his constituents against the Bill, but be
should feel bound to support the measure, even if he were
to resign his seat twenty-four hours after.—(Cheers.)
Mr. S. WORTLEY Said the Government had not
answered the complaint of the Hon. Member for Bir-
mingham, that the measure ought to have been brought
forward at an earlier period of the session.
Sir J. GRAHAM said he was not aware of the extent
of the evil before the end of June.
Mr. BOUVERIE said, that in considering the ques-
tion of delay, they should be careful to put the saddle on
the right horse. He thought great blame was attribu-
table to a high legal functionary in the other House.
Sir J. GRAHAM confessed that he did not under-
stand the charge. Lord Cottenham took one view and
Lord Brougham another, and the Lord Chancellor had
to mediate between them. Higher intellects were never
brought into contact, and he thought the Lord Chan-
cellor was quite right in hearing evidence before he de-
cided upon the course which lie had taken.—(Hear.)
Mr. BOUVERIE said, what he had meant was,
to blame the legal functionary in the other House who
had delayed the first measure introduced in a manner
which its proposer had no reason to expect.
Clauses 1 and 2 were then agreed to. Clause 3 was
postponed.
Clauses 4 to 15 inclusive were agreed to.
Clauses 16 to 24 inclusive were agreed to, with a few
verbal amendments.
Clauses from 25-to 35 were agreed to without dis-
cussion.

Oa clause 36 being proposed,
Mr. HAWES moved that the following words be
added to the clause :—" Except it shall be made to ap-
pear to the satisfaction of the judge who shall try such
action, such judge being either a judge of one of the
superior courts, or a barrister, attorney, or solicitor, that
such debt was contracted by any manner of fraud or
breach of trust, or that such defendant has parted with
any of his property with a view to defraud his
creditors or any of them, in any of which cases
it shall be lawful for such judge, if he shall think
fit, but not otherwise, to certify the same under his hand,
and thereupon to order that such defendant may be
taken and detained in execution upon such judgment, in
like manner, and for such time as he might have been if
this Act had not been passed."
Sir JAMES GRAHAM asked the Hon. Member to
postpone the amendment, as he intended to introduce a
proviso that would render it unnecessary.
Mr. lIAWES said he would certainly adopt the course
suggested.
Mr. SPOONER again objected to the partial effect
of abolishing the power of imprisonment in small debts,
and retaining it with respect to large ones. He was for
carrying out the principle impartially and generally, but
this they could not now be prepared to do. He hoped
the clause would be postponed.
After some further conversation the clause was
agreed to.
Clauses up to 47 were agreed to without opposition.

Clause 48 was struck out.

The remaining clauses were agreed to.
The Chairman reported progress, and the report was
received, in order that the Bill might be reprinted and
recommitted on Monday, to enable the Government to
introduce the compensation clauses.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM gave notice that he would
move the compensation clauses of the the Bill to-mor-
row at Twelve o'clock,
MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.
.

A Message from the Lords brought up the Transfer
of Licenses Bid without any amendments, and several
other Bills. They also asked for a Conference in the
Common Law Process Bill, which was agreed to.
The Members appointed to hold the Conference then
left the House, and on their return
Mr. CRIPPS reported to the House that the con-
ference had been attended by the Earl of Delawarr and
certain other Peers, on the part of the House of Lords ;
that their Lordships had stated certain reasons for dis-
senting from the Commons amendments in one portion
of the Bill, and had agreed to the other amendments.
The HoN. MEMBER then moved that their Lordships'
reasons should be taken into consideration on Tuesday
next.

COMMON LAW PROCESS (IRELAND) BILL.
Messengers from the Lords' requested a Conference
on the Commons' Amendments in the Common Law
Process (Ireland) Bill.
Certain Members were appointed to manage the Con-
ference on the part of the Commons. The Members
appointed immediately left the House ; and on their re-
turn,

Mr. CRIPPS reported that the Earl of Delawarr and
certain other Peers had managed the conference on the
part of the Lords ; that their Lordships had given their
reasons for dissenting from certain of the Commons'
amendments and had assented to the others. The lion.
Member then moved that their Lordships' reasons for
dissenting from the amendments be taken into considera-
tion on Tuesday next.—Agreed to.
PETITIONS.

Mr. S. O'BRIER presented a petition from Birminz.
ham against the Insolvent Debtors' Bill.

fIUME presented a petition Cotie same effect.
Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from a meeting
of seamen of the port of London, complaining of-abuses
in the administration of the merchant seamen's funds.
CHARITABLE BEQUESTS (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. DILLON BROWNE wished to know from the
Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he
would postpone the third reading of the Charitable Be-
quests (Ireland) Bill till after Monday, for which clay
he understood the third reading was fixed. The reason
why he asked the Right Hon. Bart. to postpone the
Bill was, that he expected a communication from Ireland
relative to the Bill.

Sir J. GRAHAM said he was very anxious to con-
sult the convenience of the Hon. Gentleman, but he
really could not postpone the third reading of the Bill,
as it was necessary that it should be passed as soon as
possible.
