SAVING BANKS,

Mr. ,ROSB;bronglit -in the Bill for tic better
protection OfSaving Banks. He begged lea% eto
say a few words on the subject. He then took 'a
review .of the former state of the
,Friendly Socie-
ties, to shew the necessity for these superior
st itut ions. It had been asserted; that he had said_
they would have the effect of abolishing the Poor's'
Rates.- lie had never said any such thing, be-
cause: he had never entertained any such hopes';
but- he yet hoped that ,in the course of time they
would: prodoee some diminution. or remission of
them. Such a Bill must tend io encourage eco-
nomy, indUstry,. and
.sobriety, matte than any
other measure that could beadApted. He then
,detailed the object of the Bill, which was to pre,
vent people trout being plundered of the money
they had deposited. Respecting the interference
of parish officers with' what a Moper might have
in such ,a fund, on applying for parochial relief,
the officers would, be authorized to take the inte-
rest, whatever it might be, but not the principal,
which Might be willed by the pauper to whops he
pleased. On .the whole, the Right Hon. 14entle',
man contended that the measurealtogether would
certainly diminish pauperism.
Sir „font; Newroar hoped, that as 'so large a
part of this ilill-Vens'eanneeted' With the Poor
Laws, a separate. Bill would be allowed.for Ire
land, as all the applications in it to the poor of
this count 6t would be totally lost there, where 'the
system of Poor Laws was so different. He should
therefore-Snovt to-Morrow for a Bill to establish
Prtividint Societies in Irelind. He must say, that
hexonsidered the present Bill ts a, most :Vitluatik
one to the community, trod one that would pre,
:vent pauperism more titan any other .measure that
had ever been adopted.
Mr. CA'LCRAFT wished the second reading to be
week after next, that the House
might.
I:°(l:nilitZviet3 al theniopportunity or discussing the two
Bills together.
'Lod MILTON could not agree with the Right
Honourable Gentleman that the clause respecting
Paupers' would prevent pauperism ; on the con-
trary, he thought it would 'materially increase'
them. He soggested that all letters on this sub-
ject to the different Societies, containing money,
should be allowed to go postage free.
The Bill was then read a first time,
.'1.4.0rt1.A41-4mnfost postponed his motion Ma.-
tive to thepaytnent 'of Bea Notes duwn.to 1812,
till Wednesday nest.
