in need of it—(Hear, hear)—and he could not say
what their feeling might be at the end of the term, I
and upon the issue of the experiment.
Mr. HAWES did not deny the claims of the
poorer classes to be relieved; but the Right Hon.
Baronet had not done anything to relieve them from
the burdens that were most felt by them. The Hon.
Baronet had not taken off the taxes upon consump-
tion, nor those which interrupted trade, and made
subsistence difficult. He was not obliged to vote
for the income-tax, because it rendered the Minister
to be independent of other sources of revenue, and able
to keep up the fiscal system that supported monopoly.
He thought that they ought not to submit to the in-
come-tax till the burdens on the industry of the
country were removed, and till the indirect taxation
was placed on a sound basis. With regard to the
administration of the tax he had heard with great
pleasure what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet
(Sir R. Peel) and the Right Hon. the Chancellor of
the Exchequer on that subject, but believing that the
tax was unjust, he could not—though he would not
divide the House again upon it—sit down without
joining his Hon. Friend in giving it a parting male-
diction.

Mr. J. S. WORTLEY said that the argument of
the Hon. Member for Lambeth was, that he would
wish to see the Minister in difficulty that he might be
vompelled to adopt certain measures, forgetting that
when a Minister was in diffieulties he had recourse to
an increase, and not to a diminution of taxation. His
Right Hon. Friend had put the grounds of the tax on
a proper foundation. The people of the country had
not submitted to the tax so patiently from any pre-
ference of direct over indirect taxation, but because
they saw that it enabled the Right Hon. Baronet to
make a great experiment with regard to the taxes
levied on the people of the country, and afforded him
a prospect of lightening the burdens which fell on the
more indigent classes of the community.
Mr. HAWES explained.
Mr. WARD said it appeared to him rather sur-
prising that no person was going to diVide the House,.
notwithstanding all that had been urged against this
tax.—(Hear, hear.) Understanding that the Hon.
Member for Lambeth intended to divide the House on
the present occasion, he came down to vote against
him, although he did not expect to see the tax done
away with, nor would he entertain any expectation of
the kind when his Hon. Friend became Chancellor of
the Exchequer.—(Cheers and laughter.) His Hon.
Friend talked of just taxation, but where were the
elements of just taxation to be found? He (Mr.
Ward) acted with a large body in the country, who
were known under the name of " Free-traders," and
he recognised a broad distinction between free trade
principles and those on which the Government
acted, but he could see nothing but a question of
degree and not of principle between the present Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer and the would-be Chancellor.
—(Cheers and laughter.) He would vote with as
great cheerfulness as ever he did with his Hon.
Friend, if they recognised the principles which they
seemed to like but which they did not espouse.—
(Cheers.) He did not think there was more to be
gained on ono side than the other.—(Hear, hear.) It
was a question of degree between the present Go-
vernment and the future Government, but there was
this difference, that the Right Hon. Gentleman op-
posite (Sir Robert Peel) always did what he said,
but his lion. Friend near him said a great deal more
but did nothing.—(Ministerial cheers.) They had
plenty of pretty schemes from them, but they never
went beyond schemes.—Loud Cheers.) They found
that the Right Hon Baronet was able to carry his
measures by a happy combination of circumstances,
and that was a happy circumstance for the country.
He had heard complaints in that House of the
budget of the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he did not
think it was a fair criterion to apply to that measure
that a man gained but 3d. in his fustian or 20. in
his sugar.— (Hear.) He looked to the immense em-
ployment it would give at home by increasing the ex-
port trade, and enabling them to compete with
foreigners in other countries.—(Cheers) He believed
that their trade would be increased 251 millions in
consequence of taking off the duty on the raw mate
rial.—(Hear, and laughter.) And, notwithstanding
all the taunts that had been thrown against him and
those with whom he acted, he was not ashamed to ex-
press himself in favour of the measure of the Right
lion. Baronet, and he had come down to the House
that evening for the purpose of recording his vote in
favour of the income-tax.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CURTEIS said, that if he did not divide the
House on the present occasion, it was because having
recorded his opinion against the measure, and having
already divided the House twice upon it, he thought
it would be pertinacious on his part, if he were to set
up his own opinion against the declared conviction of
the House.—(Hear, hear.) His objection to the tax
was not that it was a direct tax, but that it was an
inquisitorial tax. He was sorry to see that they had
made such a bad fight against the income•tax. The
Noble Lord the Member for London, under whose
leadership he had acted for many years, and
for whom he bad the greatest respect, had, he regretted
to say, only put one vote on record against the tax—
(Hear, hear)—on the motion of the Hon. Member for
Liskeard (Mr. Buller.) lie was sorry the Noble
Lord had not made a better stand against it. For
himself, he gave every possible malediction that could
be given to the tax.—(Laughter.)
Mr. DARBY could not agree with the argument
of the Hon. Member for Lambeth, for the lion. Gen-
tleman's argument was, that all the labouring capital
of the country should be displaced for the purpose of
rendering things cheap ; forgetting that if things were
cheap and labour displaced the people would. not have
the means of buying those cheap things.
Sir C. NAPIER said he rose fur the purpose of
remarking on one great injustice of the income-tax-.
It appeared that while all the civil officers in Ireland,
who were well paid, were exempt from the income-
tax, the officers of the army and navy, who were most
inadequately paid, were obliged to pay the tax. Now
that was most unjust. He knew the Right Hon.
Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer would
reply that their navy all over the world paid the tax,
but he begged to remind him that the Governors of
tin it colonies also pail it; and if that were so, where
was the justice in exempting the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, and the other high civil functionaries there,
from the payment of the tax. He hoped the Right
llon. Gentleman would give some explanation on that
head.

Mr. TRELAWNY supported the motion, and after
a short discussion, in which the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER joined, the Bill was then read a
third time and passed.
SUGAR DUTIES BILL.

The Sugar Duties Bill was read a second time,
after a short discussion, and ordered to be committed
on Friday.
The Customs Export Duties Bill was also read
a second time and ordered to be committed.
JUSTICES' CLERKS. _

On the proposition that the Justices' Clerks and
Clerks of the Peace Bill be read a second time,
Mr. T. EGERTON objected to the Bill.
General JOHN STONE supported the Bill.
Mr. DARBY hoped, if the Bill passed, the ma-
chinery would be less complicated than that now pro-
posed. He was fearful that the expense to the public
would be increased by the Bill.

I%lr. BROTHERTON supported the Bill.
After seme observations from Mr. DICKENSON and
Mr. HENLEY,
Sir J. GRAHAM sail he had undertaken this
measure from a sincere desire to promote the better
administration of justice, and he was quite ready to
listen to any suggestions from Gentlemen possessing
practical experience on that subject. Many of the
objections to the measure applied rather to the details
than to the principle. The principle was that, upon
the whole, justice would be better administered by
public servants receiving salaries for the duties
which they performed; the principle was that, with
reference to the whole body of the country, whose
interests were involved, salaries were preferable to
fees. He believed, also, that in the end economy,
would be promoted by the measure under considera-
tion. The Hon. Member for Cheshire said that
if the Bill passed, enormous salaries would be granted
by magistrates in quarter sessions.
Mr. T. EGERTON said his observation was, that
the magistrates would be obliged to pay large salaries
in order to obtain efficient officers.

Sir J. GRAHAM said he could conceive no trust
more sacred than that vested in magistrates by this
Bill, and he felt persuaded that no prodigal salaries
would be awarded. It was objected that magistrates'
clerks were unknown to the law. They were not un-
known to those who had to pay the fees.—(Hear.)
Many Hon. Members had said that clerks had no
power to prosecute ; he had thought it better that, on
the whole, the matter should be left open to discus-
sion. With respect to clerks of the peace now exist-
ing as such, he proposed to give them compensation
for any loss which they might sustain, calculated on
their receipt for the last twenty years. He had
no doubt but under this Bill the services
of eminent persons would be obtained at comparatively
moderate salaries. He proposed to leave in the
hands of the' magistrates power in certain cases to
remit the fees. One great object of the Bill was to
take precautions against the appointment of inferior
persons. He had known many cases in which per-
sons who were not qualified had held the office ; and
he wished to prevent a recurrence of that evil. With
respect to uniformity of fees, he thought the interests
of those who sought justice, whether in the superior
or the inferior courts, required that for the same
judicial act in this couutry persons should
pay the same—and that a moderate price—
(Hear, hear)—and they could only secure uni-
formity in the mode proposed by this Bill.
On the present occasion he wished the House to con-
sent to the second reading, and the details of the
measure might be considered in Committee. The
Bill provided that proper legal assistance should be
given to prisoners, and that this assistance should be
professional that the salaries should be and_ by the

magistrates throughout England, and that this salary
should be sufficient to command this assistance. The
Secretary of State would be bound to fix an equal
rate of fees throughout England, and he believed the
fees so fixed would, with a moderate scale of salary,
command adequate assistance. He believed that the
measure, if permitted by the House to become law,
would have a salutary effect on the administra-
tion of justice throughout the country.—
(Hear, hear.) He thought it would not be
attended with any great expense ; and though the
county-rate might be a little increased—which, how-
ever, he did not anticipate—yet the inhabitants of
the districts who now paid the fees would be re-
lieved. Whatever might be the effect on the Govern-
ment, when an individual were placed in the painful
and agonising position of being put on his trial,
though innocent, and if he should be acquitted, he
was bound to say that to exact fees from him did
appear to him a monstrous proceeding. Wherever
the charge might fall, it ought not to fall on the in-
nocent party who had just obtained an acquittal. What-
ever might be the differences of opinion in the House on
other points, with respect to salaries or fees he ex-
pected entire concurrence on this subject. There
might be points which he had omitted, but he had
endeavoured to notice all the most prominent ones
that had been brought forward. Some of the
objections made by Honourable Members applied
rather to details which were open to consideration in
Committee ; but the great point now to be considered
was the principle of the measure, one which he be-
lieved was incontestible, that justice would be better
administered by servants receiving a salary, than by
servants receiving fees.
After a few words from General JOHNSTONE and
Mr. TURNER,
Captain PECHELL saw nothing in the Bill with
which he could cordially agree. But he thought the
Right Hon. Baronet might have added a provision to
restrain magistrates' clerks from acting as political
agents ; in a small town it was very objectionable
that they should be entrusted with this power. He
thought, too, that petty sessions should always be
held in a public building. At present, in many
places, the sessions were held in a public-house,
where prisoners and witnesses were detained for
many hours to the profit of the landlord, who
charged nothing for the room in which the magis-
trates met ; it was plain, therefore, that he derived
some advantage from it.
Mr. ESCOTT thought most of the remarks that
had been made applied rather to the details than the
principle of the Bill. At the same time he had heard
enough to be perfectly convinced that his Hon.
Friends themselves who had made the objections were
not at all aware of the evils this measure would re-
move. Those evils were not equally diffused over the
country; there were counties in which the vigilance
of the magistrates and the better feelings of the officers
of the courts of justice, had, of themselves, put an end
to the most illegal and unjust part of the system, and
he believed Oxfordshire was one of those places. This
Bill established a system
of payment of clerks
of the peace by salaries instead of fees. That
might be an excellent principle, but the Bill was not
the one he had asked the Right Hon. Baronet for, last
year. The measure for which he asked him was a
short declaratory Act, which should put an end to the
existing system of unjust and illegal fees. One clause
would have done this; by the concurrence of all who
had spoken on both sides of the House, there could
have been no objection to such a Bill. But he was
far from saying the Right Hon. Baronet was not right
in going farther than this ; it was enough for him to
know that the Bill, as it was introduced, would
abolish these unjust and illegal fees. He was sure
many Hon. Gentleman were not precisely aware of
what the system really was. Three officers were
affected by this Bill, clerks of the peace, clerks of assize,
and clerks of the magistrates. Each of these
officers in different counties, to different amounts
took these unjust fees on different pretences. The
clerk of assize took them under the sanction of the
most extraordinary Act of Parliament which ever
was passed, or had ever disgraced the statute-book of
the country, and which he did not hesitate to declare
was a fraud on Parliament and the country. This
was the 55th of Geo. 111., chap. 50. By this sec-
tion acquittal fees were abolished in the case of pri-
soners,but, by a subsequent section,a compensation was
given from the county-rates for "all such fees," and
under these fees that compensation was unjustly re-
ceived. But strange to say, the clerk of the peace did not
take fees, or was not entitled to them, under this Act.
The fees were granted under different Acts. The
duty of the justices was to make out a table of the
fees that ought to be paid, which was to be submitted
to the judges for their sanction, and if they should
approve of it, then they were paid. But under the
present system was it not too bad that fees should be
taken from defendants while there was no authority
whatever in the Act for doing so ?—(Hear.) Yet it
was a well-known fact that there were certain sums
put down in the list as fees to be paid by defendants,
and that had gone on for years without being
exposed. He did not seek to attach blame to any
eesi
d partieses thi ought:th e c olehrlss ,e
oft
he looked
justicesafter
body for permitting this practice to continue, because
what was everybody's business was nobody's, except
that
these hem
adt ti de
r sblt think
the.
o rB
also took fees from defendants, and t tha there - tOO, was
'no Act of Parliament to authorise. But it was
done in this way : A bill of costs was made out, in
which was included certain sums alleged to be the
fees to be paid by defendants, and they had to pay
them. Surely this should not be allowed to con-
tinue, for if there was no authority f. r it by Act of
Parliament, what authority was there ? 'Was there
any man wile, standing in the capacity of a defen-
dant, should be asked to pay fees ? lie had had an op-
portunity of pleading " Not guilty," and taking his
trial ?—(Hear, hear.) He knew he was now speak-
ing in the hearing of many Hon. Members learned in
the law, and they well knew that there was no law
to sanction such a course as that of taking fees from
a defendant by a Queen's officer, ever since the time
of the laws of Edward the First. He had heard of
instances where the fees taken from defendants
amounted to such a thing as 31. and 41., before a man
in the position of a defendant was afforded
an opportunity of pleading " Not guilty," even
upon a charge of a trifling assault.—(Hear.)
Was it not too bad that such a practice should be
permitted, and yet it was no uncommon occurrence
that such a thing was: done to one party by another
from mere spite ; and the defendant often happened to
he a poor man, who had to beg a loan of 51. before he
could be in a position to defend himself from such a
truckling charge.—(Hear, hear.) He would not
trouble the House further on this subject, but he
trusted that the Bill now before the House would
have the effect of remedying and removing these il-
legal abuses.
Mr. MILES concurred in the principle of the Bill,
but he differed from the provisions of many of the
clauses, and hoped the abuses complained of would
not be permitted any longer to exist.
Mr. HAWES approved of the Bill, and hoped it
would be passed, as nothing could be a greater abuse
than to have the fees exacted in the manner stated by
the Hon. Member opposite.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was afraid the
answer which he had to give to his Hon. Friend the
Member for Somersetshire would not be very satis-
factory to his Hon. Friend. If the fees were settled
by Act of Parliament, most unquestionably it would
be perfectly legal to take those fees. His Hon.
Friend had, however, imposed a much more difficult
task upon him, as his Hon. Friend had called upon
him to state the law and the facts of the case. Now,
if his Hon. Friend had stated what were the facts, he
(the Solicitor-General) would, to the best of his
ability, have stated what the law was. There was a
wide difference of opinion between his Hon. Friend
the Member for Winchester, and his Hon. Friend the
Member for Somersetshire, as to the facts of this case.
This matter was now pending in the Courts. He
would have in another place to argue this question.
The facts would be there ascertained, and judgment
would be given. He must, therefore, decline to give
an opinion on the law of this case, and leave the facts
doubtful for the present.—(Laughter.)
Mr. WA KLEY sincerely hoped the fee system
would be pursued to the highest Courts. He did not
think the Hon. Solicitor-General had answered the
other question of the Hon. Member for Winchester,
whether parties who had taken illegal fees, and which
illegal fees were afterwards abolished, were entitled to
compensation in respect of those fees.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that it did
not require a lawyer to answer that question. There
could be no doubt that such persons were not entitled
to compensation.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered
to be committed on the 14th of April.
BASTARDY BILL.

The House then went into Committee on this Bill.
Sir J. GRAIIA.M said the object of the Bill was
merely to correct matters of form.
Mr. COLLETT thought the words " putative
father," were very indistinct, and he therefore moved
that they be left out.—(Laughter.)
After a few words from the SOLICITOR-
GENERAL, the clause was passed without a
division.

The remaining clauses of the Bill were then gone
through as also the schedule without any opposition.
Sir J. GRAHAM then moved the following ad-
ditional clauses :

" And be it Enacted, that when an order made under
the provision of the said Act shall, prior to the passing
of this Act, have been quashed for any defect therein,
and not upon the merits, it shall be lawful for the mo-
ther of the bastard child, in whose favour such order
shall have been made, to take proceedings for the ob-
taining of another order, according to the provisions of
the said Act, at any time within the space of three
calendar months after the passing of this Act, although
the period limited for her application to the justice under
the said Act shall have expired.
" And whereas power is given by the said Act to the
putative father to appeal against an order made upon
him by the justices in Petty Session assembled, giving

notice of appeal as therein specified, and also sufficient
security, by recognizance or otherwise, for the payment
of costs, to the satisfaction of some one justice of the
peace, Be it enacted, That the condition of any such re-
cognizance shall be for the appearance of the said puta
tive father at such General Quarter Sessions of the
Peace as is required by the said Act, and his trial of the
appeal thereat, and the payment of such costs as he shall be
then and there ordered to pay; and if at any time before the
hearing of the appeal the putative father who shall have
entered into any such recognizance, shall give notice in
writing of his abandonment of the appeal to the mother
of the child, in whose favour the order shall have been
made, and to the justice or justices before whom the
said recognizance shall have been taken, and shall pay
or tender to the said mother all sums then due under the
said order, and such costs and expenses as she shall have
incurred by reason of such notice of appeal, the said
recognizance so entered into by the said putative father
shall not be estreated,nor in any manner put in force, or
otherwise proceeded with."
111. BOUVERIE thought there was much in-
justice in these clauses, and he should oppose them.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM further explained the
nature of these clauses. _ _ _

After a conversation, in which Mr. Bouverie, Sir
J. Graham, General Johnstone, and the Solicitor-
General took part, which bore upon the point of the
mother of a bastard child receiving relief from the
workhouse during her confinement, and an allowance
from the putative father at the same time, the clauses
were added to the Bill. _ _

The House resumed, and the Bill was ordered to
be reported to-morrow.
The House then adjourned.
