iion of that stock of knowledge which they ought to '
possess before they came forward to dude upon the
futute government of India, because, independently of -
the sacred calls of humanity which would make their
Lordships provide for the good of all the people. he was
convinced that, upon the measure whichethat House
should in its wisdom think fit to adopt s'epeoded the
security of the benefits te-ulting from a good Govern •
ment, benefits which were to be equalled by oniie. He
desired not to be mistaken in this part of the .uhject.-
IHe was not so wild as to suppose that racy had Ve
posse, to confer upon the people of that part the hle's-
ings of a free government like, those of this counit y ;
but I,e thought they mere b•sund to seciire to 0 est the
rights.of property. and the due administration of justice,
,on which must depend the industry, the happiness, the
safety of the people, and upon which not only the pros •
perky and the happiness, but the mansitactuies and
commercial intercourse between the countries, depended.
:Hi-hoped their Lordships would only study the prin-
ciples of good Rove' aroent, that they might he enabled
to come to a safe and sound conclusion: and he, feei-
ing the importance as well as the difficulties of the
subject, should feel it his duty not to lose any time, but ,
to draw the attention of the House to it at an early
period during the next Session of Pailiament ; in the
meantime that their Lordships would provide them- •
selves with all the information that was nece..ary._
Having said there few words, which he thought it lir
duty to Say, he should.not detain their L,,rdships longrr,
but he nutted the petitions he ha I presented would
meet with that attention from the II •use which they
deserved. The petirion from the town of Liverpool,.
which he should present first, he hoped their L•ndships
would permit to be read at length.—The petition was
accordingly lead at length.
The Noble Marquis then presented petitions to the sums effect

• ANATOMY BILL.
Lord CALTHORPE m i•e.l the order of the day for
the second reading or the Bill for the regulation of
Anatomical Schools, on which

The Atchbishop of CANTERBURY begged leave
to trespais• for a few minutes upon the attention of the
House. He did• not rise to object to the. Noble Lord's
motion foi proceeding to the order of the day, but for
the purpose of expressing his hope that the N ble Lord
who had the chaige of tiie Bill woulJ not press the- B If
through the House doling the present Session. He was
fully assate of the u.tu•e and nt the many incons es
iiiences re-tilting frook.the present st.te (lithe law, anJ
of the necessity that existed 01 alforcing every facility
to anatomical science, which was indispen►ably nece
saw y to surgical, and io some respects to medical sc•ence.
In this respect he fully couctirred with the N Lnr.i,
bui lie wished them not to sfisioss the B If in its preseiit
from; amkhe would, therefore, suggest that it he cut.
feted to p.ss through 'its se oud reading, and carried
no further during the present Session, when by the xc
year a me4sure might be introduced less offensive to
the feelings of the community, and therefor•• less ot,j
tionable, by which the bodies of the dead might be pi 0.
tec id from indignity, and be suffered to ►einain in the

consecrated grou id to which they had been assigned.
In the ebseivations he made he bet eyed he had spoken
the sentiments of many Noble Lai ds, soggested a
plats that was best ad ipted to s cure success w h ch
would meet the esigencies of the anaornical stio.ent,
without in any manner wounding the tetiings oi the
towel classes of the community.
Lnr.I4CALTHOIIPE was quite sure that the Right
Rev 'Prelate who bad jus.s.spoken was guided solely. iit
the view le took of -the subject, brilie most humane
consideration, yet he. could 'sot agoid I.llffel 414 maces
Wally with him. A NrMle Lind,. few evenings before
bad objected .not, only to thelysigency of legislating.
upon the suject, but to taifigitt of the House to le•
gislage upon the sobject at ally-but he was of opinion
that the Parliament did MiletSa a tight tit intrtidese
any measmeia-which the integogi or the wellareOfitte.
country 4as cosier, ned, and hes AS convinced that the
pres-nt state did call imoerioqi: upon Parliament* to
legislate upt.n the subject. In loposition to the sehti-
mein; expressed by softie of the;r4C4dships, he thought
Nee present measure was quite frelilfrom any danger of
reproach. There wete two courheii one of /Web it sires-
absolutely necessary -so have rechurst to. The first was to
enlarge the ps °visions of theeriting law, which confined
the anatomy of bodies of criminals to pea sour executed for
murder. The next was the plan .saptested by the pre.
sent Bill. He would ask those who objected the 811
on the score of its proving hurtful toMisileelings if the
lower classes, what could be theie sulkelings in this re-
spect composed to those which arose out.ot the come-
nces of the exi,titig law:. Was there sing class of
the community so deeply aggi tesed as totem by tie
dreadful system caiiied on? He believed that -there
weir no persons whose remains were more. lthelly
rained fur the purposes of anatomy than the pine. Toe
Noble and. v,nerable Prelate had recoitmendedre
ponement of the Bill till the next Session; hut it should.
be remembered that the interval would not be spent.
merely in the considerati,m of the meastoe, but in the
Continuance of crime, while a learfed profession would
be left to labour under the mostdirgraceful stigma and .
severe grievances. It was pot his deity, mote than of.
other Noble I.ords, to obtrude this measure opts!' Par-
liament or the Government; but he was wee the Noble .
Duke at the bead of the Government wirolii see the. ne-,
,cessity of adopting some such remedy (of the evil. of
the present system. The most effective.iemedy must.
proceed from x messtirg introduced by Itie
meat. That system was a disgrace telhe'stountry. He
trusted that their Lordships would not-linia- the,.pro-
gees: of the Bill to the second reading, buiriffuw it to
go through the other stages.
The Bari of MALMRSBURT wished to knowl;whether the
Noble Baron intended to withdraw his measure now or not? If
it were to be withdrawn now, the diem/ion of it woukl trod to
prejudiee the minds of the people against a mitigated meaoss'e on
the same subject hereafter.
' Lord-CALTHORPR declared his wish to carry the Bill into •
Caunittee.
