IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Lord TEYNHAM moved for several return,
connected with the state of Crime ittEngland and
:Wales ; and also for retitrps of the number of per-
sons who on the Qf October, 1927, and
in the month of January, 1828, received
den,ls on' ;the Three per Cent-. Consols, Three
per Celli. ''Reduced-Annuities, the Three and a
Half a'neFjur per Cent., and on. eight Annuities,
Noeciling.the .number of those- whose dividends
.iid nutamount to 10!.; to:2()/.. to 401., to 1001., to
1,0004t0.,2,00td.1 to 3,000/:; and to 1,000!., and
the total amount paid to each class.
The Duke of" WELLINGTON understood
that returns- corresponding to those last inoved
for by the Noble Lord, were laid on the table
or the Loiver noust, three or Jour years ago. If
that were the case, probably all the purposes of 'the
Noble Lord might be answered without pressing
the present motion.
The Earl of ROSLYN hoped that the'Noble
Lord would examine the returns which had been
presented in another place, and also those which
had been laid on their Lordships' table, before he
moved for the vast number of papers !which
would necesiarily, be comprised in his present motion;
besides the great expense which would be incurred
in getting up, those returns, the voluminous nature
of them would deter their Lordships from makinz
them at all.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that he had
moved in the last Session'of Parliament for returns
relative to the Committee; 'with a view of showing
the increase of Crime, and of getting every inform-
ation on that subject •befOre the How v. Thcise re-
turns had been Made, although not yet printed.
He WAS sorry to say, that, from. the very defective
entries made at some gaols; the information was not
as. satisfactory as could be -wished, althoughit
-
was as full as could be procured. With respect to
another part of the Noble Lord's motion, that
Ivhich related to .several. taxes , affecting land,
he begged,. however, to remind him, that a Noble
Friend of his (Lord Lansdowne) had moved for a
variety of returns on that subject. The Noble Mar-
quis found great difficulty, even in the late official
situation which he held, in produring these returns,
and hail been obliged to resort to this Ilintf:e for
assistance. The returns would comprise as corriplete
a mass of information as could possibly he expected.
Lord TEYNHAM
.poStponed, until 'Monday,
lus:motion for ,all the .return4i.except those which
related to the .payment of diViden6; which were
ordered accordingly to'belaid'before the House.
