Mr. P. BORTHWICK objected to the motion, on account
of the lateness of the hour.
After a short conversation strangers ss ere crdered to with-
draw, but no division took place.
The Bill then went through Committee pro forma.
• POOR LAWS (IRELAND.
Sir DENHAM NORREYS moved for the appointment of
a Committee on Poor-laws (Ireland), to consist of Sir
Denham Norreys, Lord Eliot, Mr. More O'Ferrall, Mr.
Young, Mr. French, Viscount Bernard, Mr. John O'Connell,
Lord Claud Hamilton, Mr. Tuite, Mr. Shaw, Lord Cnurtenay,
Mr. Vesey, Sir Edmund Hayes, Sir Arthur Brooke, and Mr.
E. P. Shirley.
Mr. SHAW was decidedly averse to the appointment of the
Committee as tending to unsettle men's minds in Ireland on the
question of poor-law=.
Lord JOCELYN opposed the appointment of the Com-
mirtee for the same reasons.
After a few words from Sir DENFIANI NORREYS the
motion was withdrawn by consent, with an understood inten-
tion of being renewed on Monday.
Sir GEORGE CLERK obtained leave to bring in a Bill
to regulate and secure the debt due by the City of Edinburgh
to the puhlic ; to confirm an agreement between the said city
and its creditors ; and to effect a settlement of the affairs of the
said city and the town of Leith.
The House then, at a few minutes after One o'clock, ad-
journed until Monday.
