aware of the intentions of Government. •
, • Mr. Alderman WA,ITHMAN complained that tub
• measure was hurried through the House, without sal&
meat discassiou or inquiry, and in the absence of Mess
hers who took a great interest in this 'subject. At all
events he.hoped that the third reading might be fired
for as distant a day as possible, in order so give thole
Members an opportunity of being present. . •
Mr. V. FITZGERALD denied that ,the *Bled bee;
hurried through the House. The Report,was then re.;
• Owed, the amendments agreed to, and the BTU ordered
to be nuke third time on Thursday next. •
; • Oa the Motion of Mt.. Porrsteu, the Friendly so.
cieties Bill was read a second timer and ordered to be
committed on Wednesday.

Mr. Secretary PEEL "moved the Order of the Day
for the secondseading of the Jostjces of Peace Bill.
Mr. BROUGHABGaid, that he thotight that a St
• oppottunttf.tO ask stimequeitions respecting the inter-
ference of the,Government *of. India with a judicial
decision of the Judges at43ombay. He did not mean,
to cast any reflections on the authorities at•Bombay,'
btu be thought a dangerous precedent, and entirely'
subversive ot - the independence of the. Judges. He
hoped the Government were 'in a condition to give a
satisfactoty explinatio4 of the transaction. It appeared
from what he had heard, that the Government intr.
feted with, and actually censured, a formal demure
of the Judges, and intimated their intention of pm.
venting the *authority of the Judges from being en..
`forced. The case alluded to was, we believe, a de•
• chitin given by the Judges in the case of a Natiio,
• who was ordered to be brought before the Court,.
under * writ of Habeas 'Corpus, which Government
- contend is not applicable to natives.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, the subject alluded to
had been put in a train of investigation; he was not
' aware of all the facts connected with it, but he should
take the earliest oppottunity of ascertaining them; and
' until he had done so, he could not with propriety ex-
press any opinion.
The Bill w is then read a sealed dme, and ordered to be um-
•ndtted on Monday nest.
. On the Order of the Day being read for going into a Committee
of Supply.
Ms. BROUGHAM sail, he could not let an °ppm
tnotty pass without beating testimony to the sell and
ability displayed by the Commistioners appointed to
inquire into the state of the law, partienlarly that pliq
which had allusiouto the uniting the Welch and Eng-
lish Circuits; and he hoped his Majesty's Government
would bripg in a Bill this Session, founded on the Re.
port of the Commissioners--notfor the purpose of rs►
ing it into a law thi. year, but for the purpose of goring
those interested in the subject an opportunity of comp
Bering it.
Colonel WOOD apptoved of the principle of' ;midst
• the juti.diction ot England and Wales, but be was nee
satisfied that the Commissioners bed devised the best
plan of attaining that object.
Sir J. MACINTOSH praised the conduct of the
Contmissioners.
Mi. Secretary PEEL said, that be heard with• great
intisfaction the terms in which the conduct of the Com-
missioners bad been adverted tot. With respect to the
laws of airiest. it did not come fairly before the
Commissionets, but he• had no hesitation in saying,
that it was a subject which requited investigatiase
with a view of making some alteration in it; bat
he did not think the inquiry could be so effec-
tual by a Committee of that House. as by
Commission consisting of Lawyers, such as them
which had been that evening alluded to, and probably
' those very' Commissioners would be best fitted for that
purpose. He would not take upon himself to say
that be could be prepsued this Session with a Bill,
• respecting the state of the relch Judicature; but be
hoped to be able to do so early in the nest Session.
'Sr C. COLIC complained that the Cornarissioeers bad not
studied the convenience of the Psindpalky, in Axing places Is,
Anise Tmvns.
. Mr. FERCUSSON hoped the Commissioners would, dories
the present Seesioe, give a report on the state and efface of the Lem
of Arrest.
After some 1111111181tlifrom Mr. BIOUOVAII Mr. Secretary Peas
and -Mr Benz, Me &sax= pat the question of going into a Can.
inittee of Supply. •
Mr. NOME wished to ascertain whether it was the inteatimit
Govehinent olunsididating, and bringing together all the hula.
latebded for public departments, and whether it was the lemether,
of Onvrrninent to dispose of the site for an Bast wing to Itowsee-
set Heuer, for the purpose of ;raving the King's College built gook?
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. said,it was the
intention of Government so to 'alter it, but with a comlithe that
buildings erected Open it should correspond with the rest of Somer.
tee Howe.
• Mt. HUME complained of Are expenses of the militia, which,
be thought., ought to be altogether dispensed with, and he wishid
to Itutw Whether Govi-rensrat had any such intention/ He con-
tended that the salience of a standing army made it unoecessary
to keep up the militia, which were, in many pLicrsorserely a source
of
"woman,. • • ' '
Cokmel SI BTHORPE complained of the redaction of the mi-
litia, to *hunt a great injustice had been dose after years of valu-
able service to the county.
Colonel WOOD differed entirety with the Hon. Member for
Abetdson ; he conteoded, that if the militia were entirely dispensed
with. an additiOn should be made to the regular army.
Mr. Secretary PEEL was surprised to bear it gravely, proposed
to abolish the Militia force altogether, whose services were of the
greatest importance to the country in times of foreign or domestic
commotion. He was surprised to hear any rellealons cast go that
force, to which the country were so much Indebtek
Mr. HOME explained.
The House then resolved itself Into a Corenduse of Supply oe
he Militia Estimates.
t Sir H. HARDINGE, in moving that 147 3641 be
granted for the purpose of defraying the expenses ot
the disembodied Militia. and for the outfit of the
regular Militia for the year 1529, said, that though
this sum imparted large, yet there was a real perma-
nent saving to the country of 56,0001. a year. there had
been a reduction of 343 Officen, and 2315 Non-com-
missioned Officers, the difference between whose pay
and their retired allowance. together with the saving
in clothing, &c. made the amount be alluded to
• Colonel SIBTHORPE thought it useless to offer
. any opposition to the resolution, but he could hot
help saying that the allowance to be -giant to dis-
embodied troops was entirely iasuffiiient to procure
the cognition necessaries of life; this remark applied
to °Seers as well as the private,, but more• strongly
to dig latter, whose conduct deserved better treatment
thait'that which they sere abiut 'to receive. •
Mt. HOME said that whilst be objected to the-
• continuance of a Militia force, he could not avid,
saying that the Estimates were brought forward in a
crest and intelligible manner. He did not think the

.Mr. S. BOURNE said, even the_ prima* was most
objectionable., The payments of wages in, kind•viere
moat improper, but would this Bill remedy the evil?
He thought not. It was worthy of remark, that all
thg:depesturra ,from . the .49J Elisabeth had only in
mated the abuses; and he feared, f this. Bill passed..
it would not diminish the evils. He condemned that
pan of the Bill which went to stop payments for Chil-
dren. on any aceasini ; the parishltouse must'support
ranaer..4ll- circumstances.. .
Mr. CRIPPS also condemned Ohl principle of "the
Bill. It could not be carried into eiect_by any Magis-
trate as far.aelle.emild ,understand it.' as it. Prescribed
absolute starvation in certain cases. 'pine was one
clause, Of the' Bill, however, . of the 'moss praiieirorthy
and beneficial- character—to impose :lie poor rates on
the landloictinstead of the tallow The operaoT, as
to amount of rates, would be most heieficial. In the
Committee the Obliozious ciao*s coold be altered.
Mr. BURRELL.aopported the Hill, eateddeving parts of it to
be praiwgeribrb pifticidady that wellies which would fie the
rate es the landlords.
Sir GEORGE PHILLIPS. also purported Me Bill tombs like
ground. He wished it to go to a Committee.
Sir T. FREEMANTLE said that it was requisite
something should be dope; in' the parish in which he
lived, and elsewhere, the labouiers had been put up to
auction. The peeper labourer was thus to be got
cheaper than the fair labeitner, and was liaise bought.
This Bill went to give the poor man his ti-wit-to put
an end to so prejudicial a system—to restore their cha-
racter. This Bill prescribed the means by which such
object could be effected.
Mr. S. BOURNBbhad no objection to the Bill being
made as perfect as possible.
Mr. FYSHE PALMER denied that the farmers bad
conspired to uphold the present system ; but they were.
not able for years back to payhigh wages for labour.
He would not object to the Bill, but. as long as agri-
cultural distress prevailed, and he believed it as in-
creasing, it would be almost impossible for the labourer
to get higher wages;
. Mr. MONET said a few words to the same effect. •
Mr. WESTERN thought that Utile Bill was carried into effect
at the present period, it would be arodnaive of mock good!.
Mr. C. WOOD summed the BilL
'Mr. W. SMI'T'H was persuaded that the tendency of
paying the labouteri Wages oritof the Poor's Rates was
highlpinjusions, while the effect of the present "system
was to dissolve the bcinds of society; and all this be at-
tributed to the indolende of Overseers, who, notllo43g
more than one year in office, and not paid even for that
jear,-disl not frail' interest in consulting the citnforts
of the poor. He hoped the Bill would experienee such
alterations in ifieConsmittee as would render it beneficial:
Mr: PEEL thought it highly objectionable 10 pay
the labourer's wages out of the Poor Rates. It altered
the relation between the mister and labouret, 'and
lowered the condition of the poor. There'werepreat
difficulties in attempting any reform in the Poor
Laws. He. thought that part of them highly ob-
jectionable which confined to every parish the
labour of its own poor.. If any change Should take
place, it should be gradual. Now, the present Bill pro-
posed that a system which had been in operation for 40
Pears, should be changed all at once. Though he (Mr.
eel) approved of the abstract principle of the Bill, yes
he implored the Honourable Gentleman who introduced
it, to remedy its detects in the Committee, and to make
its operation gradual.

SLANE-Y replied.
The Bill was then read a mood time, and ordered to be min-
mined on Thursday wit.
Sir G. DOLED RN obtained leave to bring in a Bill totranger
the management of the Out.pensionen of Gres:awash Hospital to
the Treasury of the Navy.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed ot, and the
House adjourned at Twice* oTtocu.
