What was the case ? This policeman was going from 1 armouth
to Norfolk, and met with a man without shift or ~hoes upon
him, when he jumped off his horse, and asked what he was doing?
and upon the man answering that he was doing nothing, and
was going to Norfolk, the Superintendent searched him, and
finding some tracts upon him, he wanted to know what he
wanted those tracts for ; and hearing that he had them
to sell, he asked for his hawker's license, and the
person not being able to produce it, he took him into
sastody as a vagrant, and chained him to the manger.
The man fled, because the denier of the manger came in and
relieved him from the imprisonment. He was afterward found
wandering in the s'reets of Norwich, and brought before the
Magistrates, who saw nothing to blame in the conduct of the
policeman. The same policeman took another man home with
him, and chained him to the bedstead. He (Mr. D.) was borne
out in all that he had said. The Hon. Member (Mr. B. )
thought he had no grounds for the statements he had made.
But he would show that Sir James Graham was precisely of the
same opinion which he (Mr. D.) had expressed. He would
read to the Howe a letter from Mr. Phillips, dated White.
hall, Dec. 10, 1841, to the effect that he was directed by Sir
James Graham to write to Superintendent Smith relative to
the complaint of Mr. Farmer, and to say that Sir J. Graham
was of opinion that the policeman ought not to have chained
his prisoner to the manger—( Hear, hear)—and that he ought
not to have chained another to his bed-post—( Hear, hear)
—and that Sir J. Graham hoped that orders would be given
by Superintendent Smith to his constables not to act in such
a way in future.—( Cheers.)
The motion was then agreed to.
INCOME TAX AND TARIFF.

Lord J. RUSSELL heg,ged to ask the Right Hon. Gentle-
man (Sir R. Peel) whether it was his intention to bring on his
motion respecting the bringing on of orders of the day before
resolutions, on Tuesdays, after the 9th of May, whilst. the In-
come-tax and the tariff were under the consideration of the
Home ? _

Sir H. PEEL said, it was his intention to bring forward that
motion, if he thought he could have the general concurrence of
the House. It was intimated to him, towever, by a number of
.Members that it would occasion considerable inconvenience to
many Members who had given notices of motion. He would,
however, if that met with the views of the Noble Lord, take
the sense of the House at five o'clock on Thursday next, or, if
the Nobe Lord thought that the House was now sufficiently
fun, he would take the sense of the House now.

Lord J. RUSSELL said that he did not think it ought to
be brought on at to late an hour. . .

Sir ROBERT PEEL then said that he would bring it on
on Thursday.

THE MODEL PRISON.

Sir J. GRAHIIII said he would not detain the House but
for a very short time in asking leave for bringing in a Bill very
similar to that brought in by the Noble Lord opposite, for
putting into use the model prison at Pentonville. The regult-
tions would be in most respects the same as at the Penitentiary,
and the cost of the building would be about 90,0001.
Leave was then given to being in the Bill, which will be
read a first time to-morrow.
PARISH CONSTABLES BILL.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a Bill
for regulating the appointment and payment of parish con-
stables. He proposed by the Bill to make it incumbent as the
Magistrates holding Petty Sessions in any township to hold an
annual Session for the appointment of constables for sod.
township. He further proposed to give to the ra e-payers, in
vestry assembled, a permissive power to pay the constables so
appointed ; and he further proposed that the constables so ap•
pointed should be placed under the control of the superintendent
of rural police appointed by th.? Court of Quarter Sessions. He
would not enter into any further details, but would content
hi nself with moving for leave to bring in the Bill.
Leave was then given to bring in a Bill, which was brought
in accordingly, and read a first time.
COPYRIGHT BILL.

On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Copy-
right Bill being read,
Mr. HUME protested against the Bill as one calculated to
interfere materially with the diffusion of knowledge. Such pub-
lications as Chambers' Edinburgh Journal would be anni-
hilated by this measure. After the manner ia which the sense
of the House had been expressed on the subject, he would not
do more than protest against the measure.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
SOAP DUTIES.

The Report on the Soap Duties Bill was brought up.
EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL.
Sir G. CLERK brought in the Exchequef Bills Bill, which
was read a first time.

The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve o'Cloek.

DISTURBANCES IN NORTH
WALES.

The greatest excitement has prevailed in Hawarden, North
Wales, near the seat of Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart., for the
last few days, in consequence of the turn-out of all the hands
working in the extensive collieries of Messrs. Rigby and Han-
cock (a firm paying about 5001. per week in wages), and the
attempts of these men to cause other operatives in collieries to
turn out and support them in what appears to be most unrea-
s,itiable demands. The question in dispute is somewhat of a
similar nature to that between Messrs. Peto and Gtissell, of
London, and their men, which occurred a short time age—viz ,
whether the men should choose a superinteadant over them,
or that the proprietors of the mines should retain the undoubted
right of appointing their own agents. It appears that the firm
of Messrs. Rigby and Hancock is at present carried on by
trustees. and that a gentleman of independent property named
Staley has been appointed agent to the collieries. This gentle-
man, having received many complaints that the coals were not
properly cleared from small slack, introduced riddles to be used
by the colliers with larger apertures than tho,e previously in
use. This gave offence to the colliers, and they refused to
work; they came out of the pits, and assembled in consi,:erable
numbers in the town of Hawarden, threatening violence if the
agent persevered in introducing the obnoxious riddles. About
eighty or ninety of them surrounded the door of Mr.
Staley's offices, and on his attempting to take his tiepar-
tore, they surrounded him, and stated that they should
not go to work again unless ha promised to leave the
works, never to return. Mr. Staley, after vainly at-
tempting to pacify them, tried to pass through the mob to
mount his horse, when he Vi as violently seized and carried to-
wards the railway formed for conveying coals to the river Dee,
at Queen's-ferry. Here he was thrust into the bottom of a
railway coal-waggon, and conveyed, very much bruised, along
the line of rail towards the river, the ruffians on their way
telling him that he had not long to live, as they intended to
drown him in the Dee. On arriving at the Queen's-ferry
they stated that his life would be spared then, but only on
condition of banishment to England. fig was then placed in
the ferry-boat, the colliers threatening vengeance if ever he
dared to return.
Sir. Leigh Rigby conveyed Mr. Staley in his carriage to his
house at Hawarden ; but in the morning three hundred colliers
surrounded Mr. Rigby's house, demanding that Mr. Staley
should be sent out of the country. The colliers subsequently
went to the rest of the coal-mines, endeavouring to get the eta-
hers to strike work, and the result has been that they are now ,
demanding higher wages. They now average from 18s. to 251
