Mr. W. WILLIAMs said that the taxation of the country
was thrown upon the poor and the middle classes of the po-
pulation, which was an unfair shifting of the burden from the

3. FIELDS

The CHANCELLOR jrO the EXCHEQUER said he had no
doubt the thinness of the house was to be attributed to the
fact, that the English people were essentially a business
people, and as there was no important business of a practical
nature on the paper, it was not very surprising that the house
was not very full. The right hon. gentleman contended that
it would be absurd to agree to an abstract proposition like
the one before them, and if the hon member thought his
principle good, he should come down to the house prepared
with a tax on property to place before the house for its con-
sideration. lie hoped that under these circumstances the
hon. member would not think it necessary to press his mo-
tion to a division, but he must meet it with " the previous

question.."
Mr. HUME contended that the taxation of the country
pressed most unequally, and he would say unfairly on the
industry as compared with the aristocracy of the kingdom.
Property, he said, monopolised the power of legislation to
itself, and in its legislation it took care to exempt property
from taxation.

Mr. GOULBURN could not vote for a resolution which bore
so manifestly on the very face of it a positive absurdity, for it
asserted that to tax all property, real and personal, would
enhance the value of all property. The right hon. gentleman
contended that it was far more beneficial to the public to
take taxes from capital in its used state instead of taxing the

capital itself as property, and thus preventig it from being
diffused with such utility in giving employment to all the
middle and working classes of society.
Mr. WAKLEY complained that during the discussion of a
question of such importance there should have been only 38
members in the house at one time, 37 at another, and 36 at
another period of the evening, and that throughout the dis-
cussion the leaders on both sides of the house were absent.
He supported the motion.

Colonel SIBTHORP said if anything could make him believe
that there would be a general election in a short time, which
he feared he could not bring himself to hope for, it would
be the motion brought forward by the hon. member for Bir-
mingham, a motion which he should certainly oppose.
Mr. M. PHILIPS suggested to the hon. member for Bir-
mingham to withdraw his motion, and bring it forward in a
house more full, and, of course, more capable of discussing
so important a measure with advantage. If, however, he
persevered he should vote with him.
General JOHNSON advised the hon. member for Birming-
ham to divide the house by all means on the question.

Mr. SCHOLEFIELD replied, and on a divisio. n the previous
question was carried by a majority of 40 to 27.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY
The House of Lords did not sit to-night.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY

Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that he intended to propose
some alterations in the Poor Law Amendment Bill, and also
enumerated the amendments proposed by other honourable
members, which it was his intention, either partially or
wholly, to adopt.
Mr. E. TENNENT moved the further consideration of the
report on the Designs Copyright Bill.
Mr. LABOUCHERE suggested to the hon. member to have
his bill reprinted with the amendments, and to postpone its
recommittal until the house would have time to consider the
numerous amendments which it was proposed to introduce.
Mr. E. TENNENT was unwilling to accede to the sugges-
tion ; and a discussion followed on the propriety of postpone-
ment, in the course of which it appeared that the copyright
of designs in glass and some other articles formed no part of
the original resolution of the committee of the whole
house, upon which resolution the bill was, according to the
forms of the house, necessarily founded. Those articles
were superadded to the bill without having recourse to a new
resolution of the whole house. A suggestion offered by Mr.
Hume was, after some conversation between Sir R. Peel,
Mr. Labouchere, and Mr. Tennent, eventually adopted—
namely, that the present bill should be withdrawn altogether
—that the house should resolve into committee of the whole
house to-morrow to agree to a resolution including glass,
&c., and that the new bill should be allowed to proceed un-
opposed to the stage at which the bill withdrawn had arrived.
The bill was accordingly withdrawn, and Mr. TENNENT
gave the requisite notice for to-morrow (Thursday).

MURDER OF GARLAND, THE ASHTON SAWYER

CAPTURE AND COMMITTAL OF THE PRINCIPAL

Seldom have the perpetrators of murder been so studiously,
perseveringly, and successfully pursued, as in the case of the
two unfortunate men, Cooper and Garland, who successively
fell victims to a murderous combination at Ashton-under-
Line. Not above two months elapsed between the two mur-
ders. Cooper was shot in December last, and Garland was
waylaid on the highway on the 31st of October, beaten with
bludgeons, and, after suffering for fourteen days, died of his
wounds. It will be remembered that the whole proceedings
connected with these murders have been traced beyond the
shadow of doubt to the sawyers' union. The officers calcu-
late that they have not travelled less than 3000 miles in the
pursuit of the prisoners.
They travelled the mining districts among the Welsh
mountains, in one of which they obtained positive ;informa-
tion that one of the ringleaders was at work—this proved
true, but such was the sympathy, protection, and vigilance
shown to the culprit by the miners, and such the communi-
cation kept up (indirectly) with him from the Lancashire
sawyers, that he eluded the pursuit. The officers report,
that the Cambrian iron mines, nine miles from Bridge End,
Glamorganshire, are filled with depredators and deserters,
and that only a week before they arrived, two murderers were
taken by a London officer. In this district there is a popula-
tion of 8,000, and only one solitary constable, whO considers
his office, from his inability to perform it, merely a nominal
one, contenting himself merely with serving summonses, for,
to use his own observation, to interfere with the miners,
would be as much as his life was worth. Throughout vari-
ous districts of England, attended with more or less success
(frequently puzzled by intentional misdirections), the pursuit
has been silently continued ; but_it_was not until Thursday,

the 11th instant, that they succeeded in arresting Joseph Ha:
land, who stands charged with having struck the fatal blow,
upon Garland, and which it is now proved, was executed with
a heavy iron weapon used by sawyers in their business. The
officer Green had been three days in Dublin, when in the
street he met Holland, and secured him. The latter denied all
knowledge of the offence with which he was charged, and,
gave a fictitious name. He was subsequently brought to
Manchester, and on Saturday last underwent an examina-
tion before the Ashton magistrates, when he was recognised
by several witnesses, and admitted his proper name. It was
proved that on the day Garland was murdered, Holland
attended a meeting of sawyers at the King's Head, at which
meeting the murderous attack was arranged. He was recog-
nised by another witness as one active in the attack upon
Garland, and this witness swears he saw the prisoner pull
the iron instrument from under his coat and inflict the blow.
Another who witnessed the parties running away. produced
the piece of iron, called by sawyers " a pricker," which
he found upon the spot at the time. Upon this evidence the
prisonerhas been committed to Kirkdale, to take his trial
on the charge of wilful murder. Robert Holland, the father
of Joseph, was at the same time held to bail on the charge
of conspiracy connected with the same transaction ; and
Thomas Hassell, on a like charge, was committed to Kirk-
dale for trial at the ensuing Liverpool assizes, his bail having
delivered him up.
Thus three parties now await their trial on the capital
charge of committing the before-named murders. Several
will be tried as accessories, and many for conspiracy.
