sions which he intended to introduce into the present.
Bill; It was acknowledged by all fair persons that
die of the great evils belonging to the present system
was, the want of die publicity to the applications'
made to Grand Juries. To prevent this, he should
now propose that presentments of all works to be
undertaken be submitted at the previous Assize to
the Quarter Sessions, and that a duty be imposed on
,the Magistrates to attend those Sessions. Thus would
'is due degree of publicity be given to all applications
for public works, which were at present sometimes
only known to the persons by whom they were to be
paid, by their being actually commenced. The au-
thority of the Magistrates of the country would also
be proliortionbly increased. The next evil to be
remedied was, that every application for public mo-
ney, whether the sum be great or small, was now
made on no other authority than the affidavit of an
individual, who was bound to swear that the work
proposed was necessary, and that it would cost a
particulag,stun. This was so impossible to swear,
that in nine cases out of ten no affidavit was made,
or a man was compelled by the law to commit.per-
jury. He was aware that there should be guards to
the granting of public money, but he was averse to
legalizing perjury. * therefore intended to do
away that regulation altogether, and in lieu of it to
cause the person to appear at the.previous Assize
before the Court of Quarter Sessions, and make la,
application to the Magistrates, who would be com-
petent to examine him on oath, if they thought pro-
,per, as to the necessity of the work, and the probable
amount of the expense. In this manner every pre-
sentment sent to a Grand Jury would go to them
recommended with the sanction of Magistrates, who
were best caloulated to inquire into the subject.—
.Neither would the authority of Grand Juries be cur-
tailed by it, but rather extended. The point second
only in importance to this, was, how the application
of the money was accounted for. Instead of the ac-
count being sworn to before a Magistrate without
any solemnity whatever, he proposed that it should
be sworn to in public, and liable to be examined as
to the number of men employed, the time, and the
Value of the materials, and that any man assessed for
ten acres of land should have a right to traverse the
account. It was remarkable that with one exception,
which was considered a romantic display of virtue,
the whole money granted for any public work was
always returned as having been expended and no
surplus left, which certainly could not be constantly
the case. He did not anticipate much opposition to
his motion, as the Dill which he proposed would not
take from the Gtaad Series any power which they
ought to possess. He then moved for leave to bring
in a Bill to provide for the more deliberate investi-
gation of the presentments to be made to Grand
Juries in Ireland, and the better accounting of the
monies raised by such presentments.,
Sr GEORGE HILL seconded the !notion, and

, •

expressed his hope that his Right Hon. Friend would
bring some other measure to require security from
Treasurers in Ireland.
Mr. D BROWNE contended that there was not
one principle which his Right Hon. Friend proposed
to introduce into his measure, which did not exist in
the present law. He should not object, however, to
any measure which tended to set them in a clearer
light. lie concluded with saying he should not op-
pose the measure, but if the Right Hon. Gentleman
should be able to procure complete surveys, he
thought a good object would be attained.
Sir HENRY PARNELL regretted the engage-
ments of Surveyors were not intended to be made a
part of this Bill. There was a Committee appointed
last year to examine into the qualificaticns of such
persons, but out of eighteen who had certificates to
prove their competency, only three were examined.
Mr. PEEL stated, that the Bill gave the Executive
Government the power of appointing Surveyors to
very good situations: in some counties the salary
would be 6001. a year, and in most 3001. Last year
the Committee of Engineers examined a great-num-
ber of Surveyors, without being able to certify one
of them as fully qualified to perform the complicated
duties required. But he must confess that there was
a great difficulty in preventing those appointments
of County Surveyors from degenerating into great
abuses. It was desirable to persons who had local
interests to gain those appointments for.their friends,
and on the other hand, it was not easy to indui.e
persons to go to reside in Ireland for the compensa-
tion held out, as they must give up all their other
business. He could assure the Honourable Baronet
that not much dependence was to be placed on the
certificates that such persors produced to the Corn.
missioners, as, whenever they certified the general
qualifications of the applicant, they were not borne
out by the examination, though there had been no
less than 95 persons as candidates. It was in conso.
quence of these examinations, that he rejoiced his
Right Hon. Friend had not embarked in the former
measure, and he entreated him not to attempt it on
the present occasion.
SIT li. PARNELL, Mr. PEEL, and Mr. D. Rawest;
explained.
Mr. V. FITZGERALD replied. He observed that
he had not heard a single observation that went to
diminish the importance of the measure. After re•
peating several of his remarks in favour of the Bal,
he said it was absolutely necessary not to incorporate
the clause respecting Stu veyors, because Coven/Mont

had not been able to procure proper persons. Leave
was then given to bring in t:hs .;:11.
EDUCATION OF THE POOR.

Mr. BROUGHAM pressed the necessity of the
House attending to the farther progress of this mea-
sure to-morrow, as it was important that it should
experience no delay. He added some remarks on
the propriety of some of the Commissioners receiv-
ing salaries; as it was quite impossible to expect
' that professional men would bestow their attention
without remuneration.

Lord CASTLEREAGII quite agreed with the
Honourable and Learned Gentleman, that the la-
bours of such persons should be rewarded ; but it
should be looked to that the Commission was not
carribd on longer than was necessary. He should be
desirous to limit the number of those who received
rewards ; but their labours would be brought before
Parliament, as was usual, and a vote be taken for
their remuneration.
After a few observations between Mr BROUGHAM
and Mr. B. BATHURST, the Committee was fixed for

Mr. LESLIE FOSTER obtained leave to bring in
a Bill for the relief of persons in Ireland entitled to
entailed Estates purchased with trust money.
