it right to make the remarks be had dept. fie bad Sung them
out as loose hints volt an important subjects and be trusted
they would not be disregarded is the qrserter to whide they
were et4re particularly addressed. Hs shed& thee tosstoloMs seat,
were it 'not for what had transpired upon a Make Width bad been
given respecting an Act which he had wished to see repealed. Souse
time since be himself bad given a notice, rather a *ague one ea.
tainly, of his intention to move for the abolition of the Ala to which
he had alluded; and he understood that a Right Hon. Gentleman
(Mr. Peel) had made some remark upon his being absent boat the
House when the question was discussed. He would explain the
circumstances which bad induced him not to be present, for he
confessed that it was not business which bad kept him away. His
ilonourable Friend (the Member for Aberdeen) bad untimely, with-
out his consent, and expressly against his wish, undertahen the
forwarding of his offering, if such he might teem a motion for
the repeal bi tide obooxious Act, and that being the case, he certainly
had no wish lobe present at the discussion. On a previous occasion
he had offered to commit his child to a Right Hoe. Gentleman (Mr.
Peel) then in office, but he had expressly protested against the Hon.
Member for Aberdeen from meddling with it. He did not at all
doubt the purity of the motives of that Hon. Gentleman, but he
feared, and the result had justified the fear, that be had not that
delicacy of touch and that refinement which would shelter the
Infant till it acquired strength--(Laughter). Surely, then, it was
rather too hard lot him, after having had his offspring stolen
from him, to be called upon to witness the spectacle of its
being killed—(Laughter). His Honourable Friend doubtless bad
infinite strength, but unfortunately he dealt with the bantling as
" the lion dandles the kid," and, as must have been anticipated, a
similar result attended his operations. It was the custom with pa-
rents In ancient times to entrust their &Urea to the guardianship
of such persons as they thought had better means of forwarding
their interests than they themselves possessed ; and, following that
example, he had been willing to consign his offspring to the superin-
tendence of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pall. But it was
also the practice of the ancients to turn from the obsequies of their
ohildren ; and, still following se excellent an example, he had last
night absented himself from his seat, while his Hon. Friend (Mr.
Hume) brought forward the motion which be bad wised upon—
(Laughter). Considering all the circumstances, be was not ,asto-
nielied to hear that 126 voices had been raised foe the destruction of
his lost child ; but he did not think that he mold have been fairly
called upon to be a witness of its execution. The Hen. and Learned
Member then stated the course he should have pursued had he
brought the measure forward, and differed greatly from the line
adopted by the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. He said it was a great
error to suppose that the repeal of the whole of the Six Acts was
the necessary consequence of the repeal of the particular act to
which the measure referred. He maintained that most of those
acts had been purged of their objectionable parts before they
became laws ; and so far from his having always wished for their
repeal, be had absented himself from the House on two preced-
ing occasions when motions were brought forward 11 order to pro—
duce that effect. He had frankly stated why he had been absent
both nights, and be would add, that he should always act in the same
manner when any motion of his was made by another person.
After some explanations from Mr. Hens, Mr. Hammes, and'
Mr. WARSULTOII, the usual Ways and Means Resolutions were

Mr. Alderman WOOD withdrew the Sale of Bread BBL .-

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second reading of
the Limitation of Arrests Bill—On the question being put,
Mr. HO 811 OUSE said, that as the lateness of the hour had been
advanced as a reason why the Bill of the Hon. Member for Aber-
deen should not be dhcussed, he hoped the motion before the House
would not be pressed. He had no objection to discounts the Bill
on a future occasion and he suggested this because he knew that a
Petition against the Bill was preparing by his Constituents, the
prayer of which he should support.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL had no objection to-the Bill
being advanced a stage, and the discussion being taken at a further

stage.
