To amend the LAW relating to the EMPLOYMENT of
CHILDREN in COTTON MILLS and FACTORIES.

[Note.—The words printed in Italics are proposed to be
inserted in the Committee.]

Whereas an Act was passed in the sixth year of his pre-
sent Majesty King George the Fourth, intituled f‘ An Act
to make further provisions for the regulation of Cotton
Mills and Factories, and for the better preservation of the
health of young persons emp!oyed therein,"
And whereas the provisions of the said Act have been
defeated and set aside for want of form ; be it therefore
enacted, by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with
the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Tem-
poral, and Commons, in this present Parliament assem-
bled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after
the passing of this 4ct, it shall not he deemed necessary
to include in any information, summons, or warrant, issued
in puruance of the said recited Act, to set ftrth the name or
other designation of each and every the partners in the
Cotton Mill or Factory, but that it shall be lawful to insert
in such information, summons, or warrant, time na►ne of the
ostensible proprietor, or title of the firm by which the pro-
prietor or proprietors of any such Mill or Factory are
usually designated and known.

THE KING V. COOKE.
Sir J. SCARLETT appeared to show cause against a
rule Nisi obtained by the Solicitor-General for a man-
damus against several noblemen and gentlemen, composing
the vestry of Paddington, directing them to appoint a Nur,-
veyor, to survey, in conjunction with a surveyor ap-
pointed by the owners of the soil of the Grand function
Canal. The question was one of great importance, being
whether the parish authorities were imperativtly directed
by the sth Geo. IV. cap. 6, to repair all roads,
from the parish rates, before the houses in the line
of such roads shall be sufficiently rateable to defray
the expense, or whether the terms of the Act left
them the option of doing so or not, according to their own
discretion. The Act directed, that upon any roacds being
made by proprietors, the parish should be empowered to
appoint a surveyor to survey such roads in conjunction with
a surveyor, appointed by the proprietor, and to decide
whether they are sufficiently f mmed to sethorise the parish
in keeping them in repair. In the event of such surveyors
disagreeing, they must appoint another surveyor to decide,
The Learned Counsel contended, that there being at pre-
sent only seven rateable houses on the road, the burden of
keeping the road in repair, which would cost 4.091. pee
annum, should not fall upon the parish, ae, the rales of
the houses produced only 371. Rer annum, That the road
wae only intended to convey materials for building on
the line of the above road, and that as it was only for the
benefit of the proprietors and building speculation, the Ves-
try were justified in refusing to appoint a surveyor to cer-
tify that it was in sufficient repair.
Mr. GURNEY and Mr. PLATT followed on the same side,
The SOLICITOR-Gnituat. (With whom were Mr. AL-
pfasorf and' Mr.. Dttoneatcx) contended that the road had
alreadylbeen adopted by the parish, by their surveyor having
made directions as to drains and sewers, and threatened
dictments for obstructing the footway, and 1,14 the road
had been lighted by a Gas Comjany under a contract with
the Vestry.
It Was also `Contended that the road was a
considerable thoroughfare and a great advantage to the
public.
Lord TENT/ MORN said that the ease. was of considerable
importance Isottli
to pariahes and the public from the num-
bey of r.:!av buildings in almost every parish, and before the Mr. HERRIES entertained the Ca Mi-
Court pronounced their judgment they thought it neces- ters to dinner yesterday evening, at his residence innet Great
nary to look into the Act.—Judgment deferred. George-street.

And be it further enacted, that the service of such sum-
mons or warrant on any principal manager, conductor, or
clerk of :Illy Cotton Mill or Factory, during the usual
hours of working. such Cotton Mill or Factory, shall be
good and lawful service.

And be it further enacted, that no information filed, nor
any summons or warrant served as directed by the said
recited Act, or by this Act, shall be quashed for infayma-
lity or want of form.
