Sir I. COFFIN mid, that the duty of 800 per cent. upon To-
bacco, had the effect of demoralising the lower classes in Ireland
more than any other cause.
After a few words from Colonel Fours, the Petitleo was ordered
to be printed.
Mr. LAMBTON said, that his Hon. and Learned
Friend, the. Member for Winchelsea, had been misre-
presented in one of those vehicles with which the poblic was fa-
voured, called the Tinter Newspaper, upon the subject of the Corn
Laws. Ile was made to say that the whole of the Calm of Der- I
ham was adv'erse to any alteration of those laws. What be did
say was, that thi agricultural part of the county entertained that
feeling. This he (Mr. L.) believed to be true ; but that there
were others in the county who thought differently, he was glad to
he able to prove by the Petition he held in his hand, which was
signed by 65Z of the inhabitants of the parish, of Srnallwell, in
that county.
Mr. NEWMAN said, that from the great number of.
Petitions presented yesterday, praying that no altera-
tions should be made in the Corn Laws, be did not wonder that
some mistakes had bean, made. A Petition which he presented
from the South of Devon was represented to bate that prayer,
whereas it expressed the willingness of the Petitioners .to go into
bquiry, and only required due protection.-The Petition was or-
dared to he 'printed.
Mr.- S. WORTLEY presented four Petitions from a Pariah in
the County of Fife, relating to the confinement of Mr. Robert
Gourlay.—Ordered to be printed.
Mr. HUNI4 presented two Petitions from the Fustian Cutters
of Manchester, and the Seamen of Whitby, praying to be heard be-
fore the Committee on the Combination Laws.
, Mr. 11UME defended the former Committee; and said that the
ferment now existing among the workmen, arose from their alarm
lest the old laws relative to Combinations should be re-enacted.—
Referred to the Committee.
Mr. HOME presented a Petition from the Fishermen of Cro-
many, against the. Fish Companies BilL—Ordered to be printed.
Mr. HUeIE presented a Petition from Collumpton, in Devon-
shire, praying a revision of the Cum Laws.
Mr. M ABERLY said, that if Gentlemen suffered the measures
of Government relating to commerce to pass, they must not be
surprised if every one connected with manufactures should de-
mond an alteration in the Corn Laws.—The Petition was ordered
to be printed. •
Mr. HUME moved for a Return of a Copy of the Charter
granted by James the First to the Apothecaries'Company.-Ordered.
Mr. LA WI.EY presented a Petition from Birmingham corn-
plaining of the effects of the Repeal of the Combination Laws.—
I Referred to the Committee.
The County Rates Mortgage Bill was read a second time, and
ordered to be committed on Monday.
The Report of the Recovery of Small Debts (Scotland) Bill was
. received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday.
GAMS LAWS.
Mr. S. WORTLEY moved the third reading of the Game
Laws mu.
SirJ. SHELLEY said, that he did not think the ne-
cessity for this measure had been fairly made out, either
by the Hon. Member for Yorkshire, or the Right Hon.
Secretary of State for the Home Department. Me looked upon
this Bill as bestowing advantages to the many, which were now
the peculiar rights of the Landlord. It was a bad Bill, and he
hoped the House would shew its consistency by throwing out
the same measure in 1825 which if rejected in 1894. He should
therefore move, 4‘ That the Bill be read a third time that day
six months."
Sir J. BRYDG ES said that he was opposed to the principle of
the Bill, and there was nothing its its details, which rendered it
at all more palatable. Instead of a measure for the preservation, it
would prove a measure for the destruction of game; he shOuld
therefore support the amendment.
Mr. Foes opposed, and Mr. QUM supported the Bill.
Mr. J. DOUGLAS said, that if the Bill was allowed to pass,
the Chine would he annihilated throughout .the errantry.
• Mr. H. SUMNER said that the Bill being once passed, the
House could not recede, and he thought it calculated only to change
the denomination of the existing evil.
Mr. It. COLBURN looked at thii Bill in the same
light as did his Hon. Friend who introduced it—that of
diminishing crime. He admitted the inconsistencies
and absurdities of the Game Laws, but any other branch of the
Statutes, if examined, would perhaps prove equally defective. The
tenants now preserved the Game for their landlords, and their
landlords in return gave their tenants share of it, and in this ism-
her a good feeling subsisted between them—(Hear, hear). If
he them& it would prevent crime, he should support the measure,
but Wag of &different opinion, be should vote against the Bill.
Mr. TENNYSON supported the Bill.
Sir GEORGE CHET W YND objected to the Bill. By it, if
a warrant were left in a man's own house, he was to be emesi-
'dared in actual custody, and must deliver himself up to the sot
Magistrate.
Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN was aware of the evils of the
existing law, but considered the proposed 811 ar
likely to add to those evils. The operation of the !evl
would be, in counties like Cornwall, to destroy every head of
game. The consequence of this Bill would be to increase thf num-
bers of the consumers of Game over the whole country. He did not
, think that it would diminish, much less put an end to poaching. The
state of game in France afforded no illustrition, for there they in fact
had no game. The evil, however, which he most deprecated was
that on the Country Gentlemen, the loss of one of whom would be.
more injurious to the nation than all the mischief arising from
poachers. It likewise went to destroy fox-bunting, and the first
Captain of the age had declared that the most useful man in a cam-
paign was him who had been most expert in crossing the country.
Mr. STUART WORTLEY conceived that all the
evils ascribed to this Bill were precisely those which it
was intended to correct. He admitted that the word " warrant"
ought not to be found where it was, but it might be easily amended
even in this• stage of the Bill. Ultimately be trusted the law might
be opened so as to allow Gains to be sold like anything else.
The House then divided, when the numbers were—

The Dawes then read a third time. •
Ou the re-admission of strangers to the Gallery. we found Mr.
STUART WORTLEY proposing thaw verbal amendments as a rider to
the Bill, which were agreed to.
Sir G EU ItGE CH KT W Y ND also proposed some verbal altera-
tions, which were agreed tw—The Bill was then liaised.
PROVISION FOR VIZ CATHOLIC CLIIOY OP IRELAND.
Lord F. L. GOWER ion for the purpose of moving
a Resolution which would record the opinion of the
Hon:4 " that it is expedient to make a provision to-
wards the maintenance of the Secular Clergy of Ireland.
14 since the period when he had given his notice, he
had looked forward with anxiety, if not with appre-
hension, to the moment that had now arrived; if he
had sometimes felt himself pledged to a task far be-
yond his humble powers, he could not help thinking
that clocumstances had occurred which ould not tend
to diminish his fears, or to tithe him nearer to a level
with his undertaking. He had heard an Honourable
Ind Learned Gentleman attribute to this question an
rnportat.ce scarcely inferior to that of Catholic Ensan-
ipsciou ; but though he differed in degree, holding
.hat a gecier4l measure was of higher magnitude than
one of individual application, he nevertheless did not
feel his confidence rase in proportion to the imps ession
produced by such au Authority. He concurich how-
ever, with ti ode who held this question as one of con-
iderable imp; *lance, and be hoped to engage on his
side ihetalents and e oqutnce of those with whom he
could cia.m nothing in common but a very sincere de-
sire to promote the welfare of the sister country—
