words relative to that borough. The Hon. Gentleman stated,..
that the whole eight Magistrates of Derby, were of Liberal .
principles ; that he (Mr. Strutt) must most distinctly deny,
inasmuch as there was one at least, whom he posi-
tively knew to be of strong Tory principles. The•
majority of Magistrates in that borough were certainly
Liberals, beat that was to be accounted for by the fact of the,
great. majority of the inhabitants being Liberals ; the Magic-.
Crates possessed the confidence of the public—( Hear, hear)—

borough. The Right lion. Gentleman had thought it nee.s_.
envy to add five nt w names to those eight, and they were all
Conservatives. He had not the slightest charge to make against,
their character ; on the contrary, he was ready to bear hi;
individual testimony to their great respectability. But whereas ,
it had been usual to select gentlemen from the town, the Righ

Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he believed that seven miles
from the borough was the limit within which a man mi• sht

town the two gentlensen to whom he referred resided ?
Mr. STRUTT said, he did not say that they were disqueii -
fled. They lived two or three miles from the town, and ha d
no connexion with the town.—( Oh, oh.) All he said ova
that they possessed neither the municipal nor the parliarnentta cv
franchise.—( Hear.)
Mr. COLVILE said, if the Right Hon. Baronet had lot iised
over the whole town of Derby he could not have found men
who would better have done their duty than those he had Ip-
pointed.—(Hear, hear.)
Captain LAYARD said he wished to know what the I light
Hon. Baronet had done for the benefit of Southampton. with
regard to the appointment of new Magistrates here ? Th e
town council in that borough were almost all Tories, and. then,
~,ore seven Magistrates. One of these died, and a .deputation,
of some of the most respectable Liberois in, the cons. fisting
place, :waited upon the Noble Lord the Member for London,
and requ.osted that his Lordship would fill up the Tama cy isvappointing Liberal. His Lordship replied, that lie ma ist
town council, and,
guidad by the in consequence, a Tot y was
appointed. He N7ished the Tories would act in the same •way.
Mr. HUTT saic lie should have waived his privilege of reply,

had it not been for s nas.e observation of the Right Hon. Bars t., the

The SPEAKER said, if the lion. Member has used the
word ungentlemanly, he was out of order.
Mr. HUTT had used the words " decent and gentleman'
which he apprehended were sufficiently regular. How tar
his behaviour in the Southampton Committee-room was bee, en-
ing a judicial tribunal he would not apply to the Right H on.

It had been made the subject of complaint, that, notwithat ant l-

plaints as to the insufficiency of the number whe
had discharged the duties ? He had alluded to Hull a
great deal, but he (Mr. H.) and the people of that place well
remembered the Radical doctrines of the Right Hon. Baronet
in that place, and he also recollected that the people there,
wero not very well satisfied with him because he did not go so
far as the Right Hon. Baronet, and therefore was not fit to be
their representative.—( Cheers and laughter. )
Sir J. GRAHAM—In what year was that?
Mr. HUTT—In the year 11+31.
The motion was then agreed to. Ii
POOR LAWS.
Captain PECIIELL presented a petition from Mr. Brooker, !'
statirg that his character had been aspersed with respect to
statements of his regarding the Eastbourne Union, and praying
that the House would investigate the statements (as we
understood.)
On the question that the petition be laid on the table,
Mr. BROTHERTON moved that the House do new
adjourn.
After a few words from Mr. DARBY,
Mr. BROTHERTON said he would withdraw his motion
for adjournment, if the debate on the question to which the
petition referred were adjourned.
The SPEAKER having given Isis opinion that the petition
reflected upon a Member of the House, and could not be re-
ceives!,

Captain PECHELL withdrew the petition, and moved for a
return according to his notice of the number, names, and ages
of all persons committed to any prison in England or Wales for
any offence in a union workhouse established under the previ-
sions of the Poor-law Amendment Act, stating the nature oef
the offance, the period of punishment, the name of the union,
and the number of each union, and for each year, from the
'2sth day of March, 1835 to the 25th day of March, 1842, with
tle population of each union, according to the last census. Si-
milar return for offences in workhouses of parishes and unions
governed by guardians, vestrymen, or parish officers,
under local Acts, and 22 Geo. 3, c. 83, known as
Gilbert's Act, or not included in any Poor-law union.
The lion. and Gallant Member then went into a statement to
show that a very large number of able-bodied meu had been
committed to prison for having run away from union work-
houses. He thought this motion was a very good prelude to
the Right Hon. Baronet's motion for a law to suppress such
unions as " Gilbert's," in none of which had there been an in-
stance of an able-bodied man being sent to prison for
running away.
Mr. DARiIY said he thought it was very unfair for the
lion. and Gallant Member to mix up the management of any
particular union with the question of the Poor-law. Many
allegations had been made against the guardians of this union,
and the whole of those allegations they denied. The charge of
the Hon. and Gallant Member was one of constructive murder,
which was a moat tremendous charge. The matron and the
guardians took care to go round the workhouse once every
week. The Hon. and Gallant Member ought not to have
made his charges unless he had given them notice of his inten-
tion. It was a very extraordinary fact that Booker was not
heard of until be had a communication with Smith.
Capt. PECHELL said he had considered it his duty to pre-
sent the petition. It was a charge of moral and constructive
murder, and all ho wanted was an inquiry.
The return was agreed to.
PO4R-LAWS.
Sir J. GRAHAM said, in consequence of the lateness of
the hour, he should postpone the motion of which he had given
notice, for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Poor-law '
Commission, till Tuesday next.
The Dublin Police Bill, the Punishment of Death (Ireland)
Bill, and the Victoria Park Bill, were read a third time and
passed ; the British Possessions Abroad Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed ; the Knightsbridge and
Kensington Openings Bill was read a third time and passed.
NEW WRIT.
Mr. GODSON moved that a new writ be issued for the
borough of Nottingham, in the room of Sir G. De Larpent.
Mr. BROTHEItTON moved that the House do adjourn.
Mr. WARD seconded the motion. As there was a
motion on the paper for te-morrow on this subject, he
was surprised that a new writ should have been moved for
under the present circumstances.
The SPEAKER put the question, which being carried, the
House adjourned at One o'clock.

coins and medals, realised about 5701., being fully as
