THE CASE OF CROOK, THE SAILOR.
Sir F. BURDETT said, that the individual Crook, whose
case was stated in a petition to that House, was desirous to
have the question brought before a Court ofiaw. He wished
to know, as Sir Wm. Hoste was nut in the country to be
served with process, whether the Admiralty would permit its
Solicitor to enter an appearance for that Officer ?
Mr. CROKER said the Admiralty could not, in his judg-
ment, act in the manner pointed out, without the authority
of Sir Wm. Hoste. It would be a most indecent interference.
As the leave of absence of that Officer had nearly expired, his
arrival in England might be soon expected.
Sir F. BIJRI)ETT said a few words in a very low tone.—
It was understood that he gave a notice for Thursday next on

STEAM ENGINES.

Mr. M. A. TAYLOR called the attention of the House to
the practicability of Steam Engines and Furnaces being so
constructed as to consume their own smoke. The evil effects
of the present construction were acknowledged : they clouded
the atmosphere, and were prejudicial to the public health and
comfort. His object was topropose a Select Committee to
examine 'the ablest artists, and before the Session ended to
make a partial Report. There would thus be no compulsory
mode at once.. In the next Session, if, as he had nu doubt,
the practicability was recommerided, he should then, with the
leave of the House, introduce a Bill to that effect. He ccn-
cruded with moving for a Select Committee.
Mr. CURWEN approved of the proposition, and had no
doubt its accomplishment would be attended with great
benefit, without any injury to those who used these Engines.
The Motion was carried, and the Select Committee ap-
pointed.
The Warden of the Fleet's Escape Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed on Monday.
Mr. NI. A. TAYLOR gave notice, that on Friday he should
move for an Account of the several Sums of Money paid into
