Court estiblished which had the care of investi-
gating prize cases fur Grecn,%ich Hospital, and
the expenses were detraytd out of a fund taised
by a per centage on pi ize-money ; this per cen-
tage had of late not been found sufficient, and this

Bill was intended to increase the
Leave was given, the Bill was brought in, read a
first time, and ordered to be read a second tima
on Mon:lay.

atHonoslow, as an exercising ground for
.ca-
valry : he e.,0hl not but consider it as a wave of
money : he tho,.ght t piece of ground might be
found at Worm,vc,nd er..hs, "or an Wimbledon
1.4 cv...1,1 not the House, but
Lis opi inn remained unchanged.
Mr. ARBUTHNOT repeated his former arguments
tif the grunt.
Lord rALMERSToN SAL, it most he well known
to every person who had ever rode over kVimble-
don Common, that it was by no Inea.is fitted for
an exercising ground for cavalry—it was full of
boles and boo. The same objection would ap-
ply to Wormwood Scrubs, where a great deal of
money had been expended, and no benefit del ived
'from it. If this spot at Hourr-lov was not pur-
chased, he did not know of any fit for the purpose
near the metropolis.—The Ite,olution was Olen

On the third reading of the Irish Grand Jury
Presentments Bill,
Sir F. FLOOD, with much warmth, declared,
that as the impracticable Act of the last Session,
with all its obnoxious clauses appointing Sur-

veyors in every county and city of poor Ireland
(as he called it), with immense salarivs, was to
be repealed by this Rill ; and as the present Bill
Contained many wholesome provisions facilitating
and assisting Grand Jurors in their investiga-
tions, and as the final decision on all present-
ments was still to be placed in the Grand Jury,
and the peasantry world be relieved trotn extra-
vagant cesses, he would therefore give this Bill
hi• hearty ast-istance.

A conversation of some length took place be-
tween Mr. V. Fitzgerald, Mr. Parnell, Mr. S.
Cooper, Lord Jocelyn, Mr. D. Brown, Mr.
Brogden, Sir J. Newport, anti others. After
which the Bill was read a third time and passed.

posed of, the House adjourned to Monday.
