Mr. HUME presented a petition from an individual named John
Charles Green, Whitechapel-road, in favour of the clause in a Bill
doing away with transportation for a second offence in cases of libel.
The Hon. Member said, that by papers laid before the House, it
appeared that in 1821, 169 prosecutions had taken place respecting
certain pamphlets. Ile should therefore move for a return of the
1::w expenses incurred in those cases.--Ordered.
The lion. Member also moved for a return of duty received upon
pamphlets daring the last year, and also for a return of the ex-
peons incurred with respect to convicts in the Penitentiary at Mil-
bank, and in Botany Bay, and the expenses incurred in sending
item there.

Sir M. W. RIDLEY was in favour of many of the re.
tt:rns. He had learned that many persons who had been trans..
sorted to Botany Bay had, in less than ten days after their arrival,
rolled about in their carriages, and lived in all sorts of luxuries.
Sir R. PEEL said he perfectly agreed with the hon. baronet in
what he said. It was one of the reasons why he objected to the do.
ing away of capital punishment in cases of forgery. It was impos.
sible to have regulations respecting convicts at such a distance
strictly enforced ; but if an instance were pointed out to him, and an
individual proved to have been guilty of a dereliction of his duty,
he should certainly have him dismissed.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY and Mr. IIE3IE explained.
The latter hon. member moved for a return of the number of con.
victs employed, and those not employed, in Botany Bay, and the
expense of keeping them.
Sir G. MURRAY said that any return for Me could not be fur.
rished, as making up the accounts for the colony of New South
Wales took up a vast deal of time. There was, however, no ob.
jt-ztion to the returns called for generally.
After a few words from Mr. 11u ex, the returns were ordered.

Upon the motion of Mr. Hume, a return was ordered of the
quantity of stationary used in the army medical board, and two
other boards.

Upon the motion of Mr. H. GRATTAN, a return was ordered of
tbe money remaining in the hands of the treasurers of the grand
j..2ries in Ireland, at the end of each year, for the last ten years.
Mr. W. SMITH had received a letter relative to a climbing boy
I:eng burned very much. Ile wished the right hon. gentleman
would institute inquiries on the subject.
Sir R. PEEL said it was impossible for him to institute an in.
qairy in every case adverted to, either in the newspapers or in letters.
Lord MILTON agreed that it was impossible that the chimney.
sweeping machine could be u►ed in all cases, but it ought to be in
every case possible.
Sir R. PEEL said that the machine had been tried with effect in,
1.!. office.
