t.LuouaEau' DILL'

Lord KEN YO tnovcd that the Agricultural La.
honrers' Empinymtnt Bill be referred to a Select Com-
i tze on Monday se'nnight. The noble lord observed that
l.e should restive explanation upon any objectionable
}aims of the bill until the third treading. The object of
ti.e bill was to provide beneficial employ for the agricultural
I..bouter.

The Duke of RICHMOND did not oppose the bill going
to a Select Committee, but he could nut avoid saying tome
of the provisions were objectionable.
lord onFo It I) was opposed to the bill, on the ground
tlia► it would interfere with tithes.

The motion was then agreed to, and the bill refened to the
tontmittet.

_ .......
Lord WYNFORD'S bill to make lanJ hired for the
employment of the poor tithe tree, went through a Com-

Lord TEVN H All moved the scrond reading of :he poor
laws amendment bill. The noble lord, in drawing the at•
sention tg the house to the subject, said, it must be obvious
to all that great changes might be made with advantage in
the poor laws. The bill he:ore the house would limit the
p. war of overs-ers. One clause to which he called the at.
tendon of a noble Doke (Richmond) compelled the over.
setts to keep regular accounts of the paupers relieved. His
hope was, that thoirlordships would allow the bill to be read
a second time. and rererred to a committee above stairs.

The Puke of RICHMOND objected to the bill. The
dittoes were defective. One clause provided that parish-
dicers should relieve paupers with money, and not prowls
shim Now, it was well known, that if a man came to de.
mind relief, and the over,eer gave hint money, he might go
to a public-house and spend it, but if they gave hint bread,
it might be applied to the wants of his family. Another
clause was, that persons possessed of one hundred pounds
property should he relieved as paupers. The noble duke
t' tilt' never admit that such per.ott were to claim parochial
telief. If that was the law, half the population would be
i supers. The noble duke recommended the noble lord to
withdraw his hill Mt the present, and introduce it In a less
oh;ectionahle form next Session of Parliament.
I.o:d lET N 11.-1 51 wild, lie had done his duty in laying
Isefote the !muse what he considered valuable information;
hit If the bill really was defective, he should not per-
tinaciously rew it.—The noble lord finally consented to
withdraw the bill.

The Vail or BELHAVEN gave notice of a motion on
the sithint of voting at the election of repettientatiee peen,

FILAUDULINT DLITORst DILL•

Lord WY N FOlti) mimed the third reading of the frau-
dulent debtors' hill, and observed that his intention was to
a.id the clauses he mentioned on a former occasion.
The Earl of SIIA FTESLIURY said the noble and learned
1 rd weld not add clauses in that stage of the bill.
Lord PLUNK Err then rose and moved as an amend-
nt. that the bill be read a third time this day sir months.
Lord WY NFORD said this was an adjourned debate on
tb,r bill, and a clause had been Introduced at the suggestion
to, his noble and learned friend. _ . _

Lord PLUNKETT &seised that the bill bad been regu•
lady bruugh• before the house. He could not admit that a
clause had been innoduced according to his desire. His noble
and kilned friend had persevered in pressing his bill, pm.
✓uining on the weakness of his (Lord Plunkett's) opposition.
The arguments against the bill which he had submitted to
the house had not bc•-n answered.
Lord WYNFORD said his noble friend had stated as his
reason fur throwing the bill out, that no answer had bees
given to his arguments the last time the bill was before the
house, but his noble ffiend did not recollect that on a former
occasion the Lord Chief Justice undertook to examine the
bill, and as that noble and learned lord did not come forward
to oppose it. their lordships might consider it a salutary mm.
*are. He did know that his noble friend had objected
to the extension of the nankrupt laws, but the bill did not
enact as general extensiou of those laws. The question was
whether their lordships would not extend the bankrupt laws
to fraudulent debtor., as tut only means of obtaining judg-
ment after a verdict. Property in all tither countries was
amenable to the law t but iii England it was impossible as
cite iaw stood, td touch it in particular cases. He had done
his duty in bringing torward this bill. It was useless to say
Causes were well tried if they could not have judgment and
execution. The application of tile bankrupt las • was only
to &shorn st l:rt.ons, who went abroad fur the purioae of de-
lta:Wing their creditors.
The question and amendment haying been put,
The LORD C ANCELLOR decided that the third
trailing of the bill was lost.
Lord U. Nfr'OßD ti.en divided the house, and strangers
were elClutled.

ui:deis ood, however, that Lord 11'yt.ford withdrew
rt.. trill, etZil diviaion took place.
