unions a general revision of the valuation of poor-law
in Ireland ; and if so, how soon the revision will be
commenced.' '2. Whether it be still the intention, of the
Government to appoint au Assistant Poer-law Commis-
sioner for the superintendence of such revision. 3. Whe-
ther it be still the determination of the Govern-.
ment that the valuation of property, for the purpose of
county assessments in Ireland (called the, Griffith's
valuation) shall be continued, notwithstanding the tom=
mencement of a general revision of valuation, for the
purpose pf poor-rates ; or, whether it be propoSed by
the Government to introduce any measure for the Conso-
lidation of the several valuations, so that county rates,
poor-rates, and other local taxes, may be levied on, one
uniform scale of valuation ?
Sir J. GRAHAM said, with regard to the appoint-
ment of a Select Committee to inquire into the - opera=
tion of the poor-laws in Ireland, he adhered to the pro-
mise made by the Government at the close of last ses-
sion, that if a desire was evinced on the part of Irish
Members to have such a Committee of inquiry, the Go-
vernment would not oppose it.—(Hear, hear.) With
respect to the first question of the Honourable
Member, he thought he was under a misapprehension
with regard to the valuation; where a valuation
was unduly made, there was a power given to the Com-
missioners to raise the valuation. As to the second
znoentim, respecting the appointment of an Assistant
'ssioner for the superintendence of such revision,
it was necessary to appoint one for that purpose.
With regard to the third question, we understood the
Right Hon. Gentleman to say that it was intended that
there should be a revaluation.
Sir D. NORREYS then gave notice that he would
move for a Select Committee on the Poor-lawsin Ireland,
unless the Government took the subject into their con-
sideration.
STATE OF PAUPER LUNATICS IN WALES.
Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said he wished to put a ques-
tion of great importance to the Right Hon. Baronet
the Secretary of State for the Home Department, re-
specting the state of pauper lunatics in Wales.
There were 157 pauper lunatics in Wales, and only twenty
ef them were in any asylum or licensed. house.
There were 31 pauper lunatics in the county which he re-
presented, not one of whom was in a proper place of
confinement s and, in many instances, they were treated
in a most improper manner. The question he wished
to ask, was, whether the attention of Government had
been called to the treatment of pauper lunatics, or
wliether any compulsory steps could be taken to make
several counties join together to support pauper lunatics,
which they- were enabled to do under the Act of the
9th George IV?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that he quite agreed
with the Hon. Member, that it would be desirable if the
smaller townships combined together under the Act to
which he referred, for the purpose of erecting lunatic
asylums. No object could be more important; but, as
at present advised, he was unwilling to render it com-
pubory upon them, and he was not prepared to say that
he would introduce any measure on the subject. .
Mr. W. 0. STANLEY then gave notice that he
would, on a future day, bring the subject under the con-
sideration of the House.
THE. LATE OUTRAGE AT BRIGHTON.-
Captain PECHELL begged to put a question to the
Right Hon. Gentleman opposite the Secretary at War,
respecting, the outrage which had taken place some
time since at Brighton, and with regard to which he
put 'a question on a previous occasion, when the Right
Hon. Gentleman acknowledged that an outrage had
been committed by the troops, but that' itwas provoked
in consequence of an attack upon a soldier by some-of
the inhabitants. A trial was then pending, • and was
now over, the result of it being that the soldiers-were
convicted. Lord. Chichester, who was chairman at the
Sessions, in passing sentence- upon them, 'said that
they had been guilty of a very serious of-
fenqe, and that he would punish them to
show that the peaceable inhabitants of the town
were to be protected from the soldiers, who
had been placed there for the preservation of the
Vie. The inhabitants,of Brighton felt that's stigma
`had been cast u... them by the Right Honourable
and, Gallant 0 e cer. He now wished to ask the
Right Honourable Gentleman whether he had
made such an inquiry as would remove this
impression from the people of.the.town, that the inha-
bitants brought the outrage, upon themselves, and
whether the officers of the regiment intended to remune-
rate.the parties whose property had been destroyed?
Sir H. HARDINGE said that it was an, erroneous
impression to suppose that in any -statements of his
he cast any, stigma upon the inhabitants of Brighton.
lie was led to believe at the time that the
soldiers had received an insult, but frohi the result 'of
the trial, it appeared that they had reeeit'ed no previous
provocation of any kind. He had stated before his ‘opi-
nion that the regiment had misconducted itself in break-
ing the peace; it was a serious offence, and he hoped
the sentence they had received would teach them in
future, to observe the laws of the land. They had
been each imprisoned during a period of ten months;
with hard labour, for the assault. What he stated with
regard to compensation was, that the soldiers of the
regiment, and not the officers, were ready to subscribe
to compensate for the injury which had been done. An
order had been issued by the Commander-in-Chief pre-
venting any soldier from entering the town unless
accompanied by a non-commissioned officer.
TAHITI.
Mr. HINDLEY said, that having seen, by a second
edition of the Times, that the French Government had
disapproved of what had been done in Tahiti by Admi-
ral Thouars, and that it was their intention to adhere to
the Protectorate treaty, he wished to know from the
Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (the First Lord of the
Treasury) whether he had received any official informa-
tion on the subject ?
Sir R. PEEL said that he had not received any- in-
formation on the subject beyond what had appeared in
the second edition of the Times, and which • had been
received by express. He had no reason to doubt the'
authenticity of the information which appeared
in that journal, for it 'gave the quotatiOn
from the ailoniteur, which was the official organ
•f the French Government, to the effect that
it was the intention of the French Government to adhere
to the treaty of 1842. He said he deprecated hasty
questions on the subject, and he had a strong and con-
fident impression that the French King and the French
Government had acted on the impulse of their own
feelings—(Hear, hear)—and he was rejoiced that they
had •acted • in a manner which was so satisfactory
to the feelings of many persons in this country who were
interested in the welfare of our missionaries. He be-
lieved, the statement in the Moniteur was perfectly
correct,' and that the act of Admiral Thouars
had not been ratified by his Government.; and he
was bound to add, in justice to the French GovernMent,
that this act was the voluntary act of the French 'King
and the French Government, and that it was not lieCeS-
airy that any communication should be made on the
subject by this Government.
On the motion of Mr. DUNCOMBE,
A return was ordered of cases of insanity which oc-
curred in the Pentonville prison.
• GAMING TRANSACTIONS BILL
• Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know whether *it would
not be desirable that the Gaming Transactions Indem
nity Bill, which stood for a second reading, should be
ginnted, in order that the House might judgeof its-prO-`
visions before it sanctioned the second reading ?. -He,
*would also express a hope that the Government would
.not bring on the third reading of the Horse-racing Bill
at a late hour. -
Sir R PEEL said that the .Hon. Member for Man=
ehester seemed to have a most curious notion of -what
were measures of the Government, and *hat wererier.
The measure he- had last alluded to was not brotight'
forward by the Government, or any person connected'
with it. He thought it was but reasonable that the'
Gaming Trainsaetions Indemnity Bill Rhould be.pririt&l
before it was:read a second time.—(Hear.)
Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know what Hdn. Mem-
ber had the conduct of the Bill ?
To this question no answer was returned, and after
some further discussion it was agreed that the Bill should
be printed before it was read a second time.•
FACTORIES BILL.
Mrs BRIGHT wished to know from the Right Hen.
Baronet opposite, the Secretary for the Hothe Depart-
ment, when he intended to proceed with the Factoriei
BilL At present, he believed, it was fixed for Friday.
SirJAMES GRAHAM said, that it was intended
on Friday to proceed with the Committee of Supply ;
but, on that day, he would state when he would bring
the subject forward.
• - • NEW POOR-LAW. • ' -
Mr. BORTHWICK' wished to put a question to the
Secretary of State for • the Home DePartinents
He understood, that in another place,
of whielf.
they often • heard, an important conversation had
taken-place between a Right Rev. Prelate, and one of the
Members of her Majesty's Government, from which it
was to be presumed that the Government Would, in the
course of the amendment of the Poor-htw Bill, adopt
Some measures for the religious instruction of the poo'r in'
unions, by chaplains of the Church of England
only. - He wished to know from the Right Honour-
able Baronet whether it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to introduce any such provision ?
Sir J. GRAHAM had no hesitation in answering
the question put -to him by the Hon.' Meniber, or •in
stating what tho decision of the Government Was upon
the point referred to by him. Her Majesty's Ministers
were perfectly satisfied with the exercise of the dis-
cretionary power vested in the ,Poor-law Com-
missioners , with respect to the appointment
pf chaplains in workhouses ; he was , sure that
they would appoint persons according to the
necessities of the different localities in which these ap-
pointments were-to take place. He was not prepared to
propose anssalteration in the law. As at present ad-'
vised he was. perfectly satisfied with the state of the law,
and in any discussion that might take place on the' sub-
ject he would bc prepared to show to the satisfaction of
the House that the discretion placed in these responsi-•
ble officers had beeri exercised in a most proper manner. -
DUELLING. • • .1:'
Mrs TURNER, in pursuance of notice, asked the:
Right • Hon. Baronet, the First Lord of the TreaSury,
whether it was his intention to bring in a Bill for the
more effectnal -prevention of duelling? , •
Sir R. PEEL\ . said that her Majesty's Gdvernment
•had not failed to take this important subject into their
consideration, but they were not prepared to bring
in any-new legislative enactment in reference to duelling.
If the practiee-of duelling still existed, it was not owing
to any defect-in the letter of the law, and her Majesty's
Government greatly doubted whether any-good object
could 'be promoted by 'altering the law.—(Hear,
hear.) At the same time, they: had shown
by the exercise of influence 'and authority,
darinrthe.recess, 4 disposition to disourage the prat-.tics of'dnelling; so fkr as it could be discouraged by the
executive power.. Ite,believed that the feeling which
had lately existed. on this subject had been excited in
a great degree by the unforttmath result of a duel which
took place iiethoiourse of last year. He thought there
could Wild dOitin that-the'practice. of duelliiig 'was on

.. ....
Lord JOHN MANNERS' then rose to call the atten-
tion of the House to the motion of which he had given
notice. He 'felt `that he was 'Nily justified in calling
upon the House to join him.in• imploring her Majesty's
interferenceln behalf of a royal victim of 'oppression.
He knew that it was a matter of delicacy for the House
to ask her Majesty to interfere- for the purpose of pro!
curing the liberation of a per Son iahe was detained by
one of her Majesty's!allies. . But there were pia•cedents
for eneh a course when the hononr and interest of the
country depended on such a course to be pursued. He
would. first refer ,to the precedent of General Lafayette,
and he would then proceed to show that the honour and,
interest ;of this country demanded the liberation of Don
Carlos. i In -1794, - General Lafayette with ' his troops refuge in Prussia, and he was immediately com-
mitted to a fortress by the King of Prussia. England
was then atleace with ,Prussia i . but so, strong was the
feeling which existed .in tlaii:::Conntry respecting what
.the people considered a hardship,- •that that House was
' called upon to interfere :in the matter. . General Fitz-
patrick moved an. address to the Crown to interfere for
the purpose of procuring the release of General La-
fayette.l That motion was' defeated. But the ground
upon which he (for,) John Manners) new clanned sup-
port for his Motion was the reason assigned forthe defeat
of the address of 1794 to which he had referred. Mr,Pitt
opposed the - address on the, • broad and intelligible,
gronnd thet,Englandhaving had nothingtodo with the,
transaction oould pot-in fairness. he .ciilled upon to in-
terfere. L daving i made this ' allusion to -that precedent,
he would proceed to show that-this - country was bound

ciple of justice he (Lord J,.Manners.)dennindedlhia libera-

offence had been Ilaidito his :Cliare---what tribunal had
delivered its verdict against. him ? He (Lord J. Man-
. nerii)4as aware th4tl',.last. year, when this subject was
debated, the Ncible ‘,Lord, ..the:Me:riiher for Tiverton,
.said that., England and .France : had , a right to in-
carcerate Don ' Carlos after the Convention of
Algarve. It might- be.. -that Don Carlos
had . had ' some private communication with the.
Noble,Lord :;, but all he. (Liiiii john. Manners) could
say was that he couldeasily enter •into the feelings of a
gallant roan,i who had been deprived 'Cif a. crown.such as of chivalrous Spain, by intrigues the most base that,
ever sullied the of any •COuntry, finding :hiniOelf
guiltless of all intrigue„ finding'hia claim to that crown
defeated by those whom he loved because he knew them;
who loved him heeauSe :they-knew him-he could con.
.Ceive, and enter into the feqlligs of that gallant! man at
such . is. crisis and he 'COW& not • conceive how Don
Carlos could ~have acted otherwise than -he had done.
But supposing the;Noble .Lord•to be right, he (Lord John
Manners) saidthat thOlifiniatrynow in power, and those
who formed thecin'ajority efithat.HOUSe, could not. avail
themaolves' of the plea of the . Noble Lord. * So' long as
the war was CoMinenced--aso long" as the gallant &feria
.of the Spaniards to maintain the struggle, against the
Jews Wild stock-brokers of Algeria existed—ao long the
great;_ -• Tory party in . this: country, 'and those.
who at present were its ' leaders; had a right
to give their ' sanction ,to 'the .. 'Proceedings of
Don Carlos. The Noble . Lord ,might rely upon
his flimsy argument, to.which he (Lord John Man'
. ners) had referred, but theleriiicihat (the Ministerial)
. side of the House could not 'avail themselves of it. He
(Lord.J. Manners) therefore apprehended that he had a
perfect right to call upon that .House to interfere for the
purpose of priaeuring Ole liberation of Don Carlos, He
asserted, in the most emphatic Mariner, that no deed had
been`cOmtaitted by Don Carlos which could justify for a
moment the imprisonment he was now suffering.
If , nothing had 'occurred , Previonifi, to the break- •

France, he was told that he would be treated like an
unfortunate:prince. He (Lord' J. Manners) thought he
knew what would be the interpretation which an assembly
of English gentlemen Would put upon- these words.—.

THE POLES IN PRUSSIA.
Mr. VILLIERS STUART said, the House was
aware that the King of Prussia bad allowed fugitive
Poles to take up their residence in the Duchy of Posen,
and had .conceded to, many of them the rights of
Prussian subjects. It had bees lately, announced, that
his Prussian Majesty had.given directions to withdraw
the protection from these Poles. He wished to ask' the
Right Hon. _Baronet, (Sir Robert Peel), if ho could, give
the House any information upon the subject.
Sir•R, PEEL-said that he was not prepared at present
to give an answer in a definite manner to the question
put by ,the Hon. Gentleman.
•art cr SCOTTISH LAW COURTS. -
Mr. WALLACE rose to bring forward his motion
upon the above subject. He said that the legal tribunals
in Scotland had been an immense expense to the.nation_
Instead of those Courts being called the COurts of
Session, the' more proper name to use would be the
Courts of Vacation, for they were idle. for nearly seven
-months -in the 'year, and during those seven months
the judges. -sat only for five days in the :Week.
He held -returns in his hands which. would prove
beyond doubt that the law authorities hr. those. Courts
had allowed an enormous amount of arrears.to accumu-
late from the year 1781. up to the present time. The
number of cases which were in arrear in the year. 1838
was 477, and he thought this was sufficient to require inYes.':
,gution.. The vacations of the Courts in general exceeded in
length of time the sessions. There was another matter
that called for remedy, namely, the choice of Courts,
and he must say that he thought the delay and • ex-
pense incurred in the Courts in Scotland' were attri-
butable to the listlessness of the judges. . He-
firmly #ielieted that until a Court of Review
(as . we understood) was established, there would be
no satisfaction in the 'courts of. law. in Scotland. . There
'was no court more dreaded, with the exception
of the Court of Chancery, than the ,Ceurt. of. Session.
He would next advert to the expenses. In tbe first
place he would
_state -what these judges cost the country.
The first division of judges cost the country 14,3751, a
year. . Owing to the short time during which they sat,
the amount of their salaries and that of' their secretaries
was 1271. per day. The number of cases decided in the
year 1839 by this division of the judges was 1.57, and
therefore the judicial charge for each case—without any,
reference to the chargesuf counsel--the j udicial charge for
each case was 911. 1 ls.. while the cost in the courts pre•
sided over by the other judges was 25/. 14s, for each case.
All this waste was at the cost of both countries. He
would now read.to the House a statement of the yearly
cost of this establishment, and he believed _all
the Honourable Gentlemen .who were friends . of
economy . would be surprised to hear it. They.
had thirteen Judges of the Supreme Court,' to a
population of two millioss and a half. They might
know by the number of • the English judges, whether
this was a justifiable mode of applying the money of the
people. The cost of the judges was 42,7001.; that of
clerki of the court 17,0001. There were also thirty
sheriffs, who cost 16,5001., or, on an. average,
551/._ each per year. .He had no hesitation in
saying that the most vicious: part of- their:
_vicious system was the . having three dines . the
number of judges required. When the . Nobleo,
Lord the Member for Londonintroduced his County
Courts Bill, the number of judges he proposed for all'
England was twenty-five chief judges, and four
others in the' event •of illness of the chiefs. The
whole amount.: orshe cost of the judicial .establish,
meat in Edinburgh . was not less than 150,000/.
You might travel from one end of Scotland to the other,
and you would not find one man who ',was• not:dis-
satisfied and disgusted with the whole • system
of the .administration of the law in that coun-
try. In 1834, an Act was introduced by the late
Government to raise the salaries of the' jadges, by
which it was . held that it should give great
facilities to. the . reeans of obtaining justice—the
rules of Court were to be altered, and the time of session
was to be :'extended so as to do Sway with
the : Arrears of which so. , much complaint had
been .mades and so justly.' The salaries of the
judges were at that time raised to 1,0001.
•. year
each.. The. Court of Sessions and the Crown had
the power of extending the sessions for 'one :month.
Now,: by this act,. which .the- Nobl&Lord (Liird Sohn'
Russell)-carried with 'the assistan*of 'thoSe who now-sat on the, opposite -Fide 'of the' Hotise---:forit, was re=
marked in Scotland, that whenever 'anything was to be
done to raise salaries, both sides of thaflllihse
(Hear, hear, and l'atighter)—the - causes in • the 'Court`-
had diminished since one-half, arid this yeas' they' would
diminish still more, • in. consequence of the 'general
satisfaction with the Cciurt.—(The Hon. Mein tier 'then'
read an extract from the Act of Parliament, -that gave
the power to the judges and the Crown to extend the
-sessions by two months.) • There was a place-ift Seothind
'where the Parliament used to meet, and there the Court
of Scuts:Ai:was held. God forbid he should ever. see' a
-parlianient held there again. Rut the judges -Were le.
gislaters as Well-as judges, and they tnade--lawa•-WhiCh
ought to be made only by the Imperial Parliament. They
had full power to make rules for expediting- the public busi-
mess, but theY had not availed themselves of that po%Ver.
The Committee which had Fat in 1814, and had re-
'commended- an' increase—of the judges' salaries; had
evidently coatempletettan increase in the, laboorsof the
judges. As, a proof of. this, .he wouktrefer to the
evidence given before that .Committee -by Lord Elgin,
Lord Brougham, Dr. 'Lushington, and Mr. O'Connell.
From their evidence it was clear that St had 'been con-
templated to make a considerable -addition- to the, la-
bours-Of the judges. Then, with.'regard to thepassing
of the Acts of -Sederunt, one of the most.distilignished
lawyers . Scotland, Sir Alan, ; qainnhell had
littniglit in a *1785., to reduce the number of judges,,
andiat the conclusion of the Act there Was, a .clause
enacting that the judges should occupy themselves with
' revising ,and consolidating the' Acts of Sedestint • • That
duty they had•negleetell to perform ; and 'at the present
•moment the Acts of .Se,clerunt were 'an unConsolidated
mass,' iVhicli had not been revised' for 300 years. . The
complaint they made is-as this, that they had:l3 judges;
and whi, did their duty ? Why the Lord Chancellor of
' England. What proof had he of shis Why that
nearly three4ourths of all the appeals.eoming to the
'House of Lords, eame•from Seotland: Why was this ?
'WhY 'because, the „Scotch judges, although per-
' feetly competent • to- do - so, -did hot • -.do their
dtity. At the present moment theroef
forty=five appeals from Scotland in the.HOuss
twentrieven from England and Wales; and twenty from
Ireland, which was a most unusual number. Then with
-respect to the superanntiations,, they an:ousted., ,tO
15,01)0L a-year. Two of the judges receiving part of that
-superannuation, had received upwards of -70,0001,: one
having retired nineteen .yeass, and another. fbtirteen.
