BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. HlJilEs;jati;t he had fixed a motion for the
10th of June, but he now found that a motion had got
upon the paper, he knew not how, by which he was pre-
cluded.—(A laugh.) He should, therefore, fix the 17th.
The SPEAKER said that the Hon. Gentleman was
mistaken ; the rule only precluded him from giving a

Mr. HUME said he would give his notice to-morrow.

SANATORY MEASURES.

Lord DUNCAN begged to ask the Noble Lord oppo-
site (L)rdLincoln) whether he could state when the sana-
tory measures alluded to in her Majesty's speech would
be introduced to the House ?
Lord LINCOLN hoped that in a few days he would
be able to fix a day.
LAW CHANGES.

Mr. WATSON wished to ask the Right lion. Gen-
tleman (Sir J. Graham) whether (as was rumoured) it
was intended to take one-half of the Northern Circuit
arid add it to another ? He also wished to ask, whether
it was true that the Commissioners had been precluded
from going into the consideration of the appointment of
two additional judges in Westminster Hall ? The third
question was, whether the administration of justice re-
quired the alterations named, as he had heard no com-
plaints made ?
Sir J. GRAHAM said he was at a loss to answer the
first question, as he had heard nothing specific respect-
ing the subject. With respect to the second question,
the Commissioners had not yet presented their report,
but he might inform the House that no such question as
the appointment of two judges had been referred to
them. Should the Government think two additional
judges necessary. they would appoint them without any
reference to the Commissioners. With regard to the
third question he was not prepared to give any definite
information at present.
Mr. ROEBUCK said the question which it was ne-
cessary for the Government to answer was, whether from
the pressure of business two additional judges were
necessary 2
Sir J. GRAHAM said he would take that opportunity
of stating that he was not prepared to say what course
Government intended to take respecting the appoint-
ment of additional judges.
Mr. MUNTZ inquired when the treaty between Eng-
land and Naples would be laid upon the table of the
House.

Sir R. PEEL said he could not tell at present.

Sir WALTER JAMES asked when the Government
intended to move the second reading of the Bill for
Academical Education in Ireland ?

Sir J. GRAHAM—On Friday next.
ROMAN CATHOLICS' RELIEF BILL.

Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the Hon. Member for Kin-
sale would postpone his Bill for the relief of Roman
Catholics, and that other Hon. Members who had mo-
tions would withdraw them, and allow the adjourned
debate to be resumed.

Mr. WATSON was extremely anxilus that the Bill
for the relief of th© Roman Catholics should be read a
second time, though he would consent that the debate
upon it be adjourned.
Sir J. GRAHAM was friendly to the general prin-
ciple of the Bill, though opposed to particular parts of
it, especially to those provisions which referred to the
Act of 1829. He thought it would be more advisable
for the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to postpone the
second reading until the report of the Criminal Law
Commission was laid upon the table of the House.
This Report embraced not only the penalties upon Irish
Roman Catholics, but upon those in Great Britain and
Ireland ; it was in every sense a larger and more com-
prehensive measure than that which the Hon. and
learned Member introduced.
After some discussion the Bill was read a second
time, and committed to this day fortnight.
COUNTY CORONERS' BILL.
This Bill was read a second time.
CANAL COMPANIES' (IRELAND) BILL.
. .

on the table.
