Mr. EWART seconded the motion.
Dr. NictioLL said that the hon. member had not said that
he had applied to any of the judges of either the Law or the
Ecclesiastical Courts. He had. in fact, no authority in favour
of a bill of such importance. The clause giving to the judge
of the Ecclesiastical Court the power of divorce a vinotio

fore move that the bill be read a second time that day six
months.

After a few words in reply from Mr. ELPIIINSTONF, the
house divided, and the bill was negatived by a majority el
105 to 41.

WATCH COMMITTEE.

The Deputy TOWN CLERK having read the proceedings
of this committee,

Mr. ASPINALL said that before they were confirmed, he
wished to ask the Chairman of the Committee one or two
questions. He wished to inquire whether it was correct
that either superintendents or inspectors in the police, upon
their own responsibiliiy, without the consent of the magis-
trates, the watch committee, or the head constable, had been
in the habit of sending out men in plain clothes, to lay infor-
mations against publicans?
Mr. JAMES LAWRENCE, in reply, said, one instance of the
kind bad occurred, when a superintendent was brought be-
fore the committee, upon a complaint made that he had sent
out a man in plain clothes. But as Mr. George Hall Law-
rence was the chairman of that day, be would probably be
able to give a more satisfactory explanation.
Mr. ASPINALL—And was he punished?
Mr. G. H. LAwitEsce said he would answer the ques-
tion. One of the superintendents, Quick, had been brought
before the watch committee the day that he (Mr. G. H.
Lawrence) was in the chair, upon a charge of having sent out
a policeman in plain clothes, with the view of laying informa-
tions against publicans ; and it certainly did appear that he
had no direct or positive instructions to that effect. The
committee were prepared to consider it as more than a light
offence ; but upon looking over the book of orders, Mr.
Whitty said it appeared that the orders were rather permis-
sive than otherwise ; consequently, the committee could not
punish the superintendent, but they intimated strongly their
disapprobation of what had been done, and begged that it
might not occur again.

Mr. ASPINALL asked why that was not put upon the pro-
ceedings of the Watch Committee? If any member of the
Watch Committee had done anything of the sort, it would
have bee❑ put there immediately. Really this wholesale spy
system ought to be a stop to, and he thought the explanation
now given by the chairman of the day quite sufficient to in-
duce the council to condemn it—because, if either inspector
or superintendent thought they were doing right by it, where
was the use of having a detective force ? We had a detective
force, and if it were not sufficient let it be made efficient ; but
with such A force at command, and considering that it was
established to prevent such proceedings, if there was to
be a distinction, such things as these ought not to be tole-
rated. Ile asked the council whether this wholesale spy
system ought to beatallencouraged ?

Mr. PROCTER said he did not know what Mr. G. H. Law-
rence meant by permissive authority. He was sure that the
Watch Committee had never given any such power at that or
any other time.

Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE repeated that there appeared to
have been a kind of permissive authority.

Mr. PROCTER.—Permissive from whom ?
111 r. G. H. LAWRENCE 6110111 d think it Wall from Mr.
Whitty, or probably from the magistrates generally.
Mr. PROCTER.—Let that be understood, then—that it is
not from the Watch Committee.
The proceedings were then confirmed.

ful and scandalous wrong from being successfully perpetrated.
The Earl of WICKLOW said that if Lord Cottenham took
the sense of the house he should vote with him, because he
thought that such a strong proceeding ought not to 'be re-

Lord CAMPBELL supported the bill, on the ground that

other remedy.

IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE

The proceedings of this committee being read,
Mr. BLACKBURN inquired what width Lime-street would
be when it was completed?
Mr. S. l-IOLMg, in reply, said it would be 20 yards.
Mr. BLAcKuuns next asked whether the street would
be FM of the same width?

Mr. S. II OLM E replied to the effect, that if the building at
the corner of Ranelagh-street were remoyed, the width there
would be 24 yards, and the whole of tb portico of the As-
size Court would be visible from Renshaw street ; but it was
a question whether the corporation would give up the land.
It would certainly he a very great impriivement No deci-
sion had yet been come to, and the question was still open.
Mr. BId..CKIIUIANZ thought that for the sake of a few
thousand pounds, the opportunity of making out a noble im-
provement should not be lost.
The proceedings were then confirmed, it being understood
that the matter is still in abeyance.

THE COURTS QY LAW.
The proceedings, reports, &c. of the Courts of Law Corn-
niittee were read, comprising the following resolution, which
was formally moved by ?Jr. EARLE and seconded by Mr,
LLOYD ;—" That upon a full discussion with Mr. Mines of
the report of the Town Clerk and Deputy Town Clerk in fa-
vour of the proposal to appropriate some portion of the build-
ing of St. George's Ilan and Assize Courts to the purposes
of the Police Court, it is resolved—That the report cannot,
with advantage, be adopted, but would, on the contrary,
hazard great deterioration of the whole plans ; and that it be
recommended to the Council that the original plan be pro-
ceeded with, subject to reconsideration as to the ventilating
tower, by dispensing
with which the committee find that the
estimate for the Proposed erection on the site of the Wing.
ton Market, if adopted by the Council, would be consider-
ably diminished. And that the resolutions of the Council of
the sth instant, on any proceedings of the finance committee
at variance, with the foregoing, may be rescinded so far as

necessary.—

CLAIM FOR DAMAGE

A letter was read from Edward Bell, master of the schooner
Comet, claiming XI 15s. for the amount of damage done to
the bowsprit of his vessel, on Sunday last, by the schooner
Albion, in consequence, as he alleged, of the improper con-
duct of the pier-master, who had placed the two vessels to-
gether. This case was before the police magistrate a few
days ago and dismissed. Reports were read from Mr. Askew
and Mr. Hodgson, the harbour-masters, who had minutely
investigated the case ; and their opinion being that the pier-
master had not placed the vessels as represented, Captain
Bell was directed to be informed that the committee did not
hold themselves liable.

POTATOES ON DOCK QUAYS

Several parties interested in the coasters which import po-
tatoes here, memorialised the committee for permission to
leave their cargoes on the quay for a longer period than is
allowed by the existing regulations. After some considera-
tion the committee directed the memorialists to be informed
that they must conform to the established rules.

THE DOCK BILL NOW BEFORE PARLIAMENT.

The CHAIRMAN.—It is perhaps right I should inform the
Committee that there are several protests for the repayment
of dock rates formerly paid by some of the shipping interests
of the town. Whether those claims are right or wrong I
shall not now say ; but I may say this much, that whatever
is right this Committee will do. It is not necessary to say
more upon the subject at present, as some of them have t sly
come in to-day.
Mr. EVANS.—Very well ; we will wait.
[The protest itself will be found in our advertising columns.]

MISCELLANEOUS.

Permission was given to the treasurer, and to the receiver
of dues at Runcorn, to proceed to Edinburgh to give evidence
on a trial, wherein the business done by them is considered
important, but in what manner did not appear.
Et.mr.x BREWE, an elderly female, presented a memorial
which set forth that she was entitled to £950, part of the
purchase money of some property at the corner of old Strand-
street and Bird-street, bought by the Committee sixteen
years ago, and, as she alleged, either not paid, or paid im-
properly. From some explanations by the Secretary, it was
evident that the memorialist bad no real claim upon the
committee; and a reply to this effect was directed to be sent
to her.

The committee separated about half-past one o'clock.

WATCH COMMITTEE

The Deputy TOWN CLERIC having read the proceedings
of this committee,
Mr. ASPINALL said that before they were confirmed, he
wished to ask the Chairman of the Committee one or two
questions. He wished to inquire whether it was correct
that either superintendents or inspectors in the police, upon
their own responsibility, without the consent of the magis-
trates, the watch committee, or the head constable, had been
in the habit of sending out men in plain clothes, to lay infor-
mations against publicans ?
Mr. JAMES LAWRENCE, in reply, said, one instance of the
kind bad occurred, when a superintendent was brought be-
lure the committee, upon a complaint made that he had sent
out a man in plain clothes. But as Mr. George Hall Law-
rence was the chairman of that day, he would probably be
able to give a more satisfactory explanation.
Mr. ASPINALL—And was lie punished ?
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said he would answer the ques-
tion. One of the superintendents, Quick, had been brought
before the watch committee the day that he (Mr. G. H.
Lawrence) was in the chair, upon a charge of having sent out
a policeman in plain clothes, with the view of laying informs- •
tiuns against publicans ; and it certainly did appear that he
had no direct or positive instructions to that effect. The
committee were prepared to consider it as more than a light
offence; but upon looking over the book of orders, Mr.
• Whitty said it appeared that the orders were rather permis-
sive than otherwise ; consequently, the committee could not
punish the superintendent, but they intimated strongly their
disapprobation of what had been done, and begged that it
might not occur again.
Mr. ASPINALL asked why that was not put upon the pro-
ceedings of the Watch Committee ? If any member of the
Watch Committee bad done anything of the sort, it would
have been put there immediately. Really this wholesale spy
system ought to be a stop to, and he thought the explanation
now given by the chairman of the day quite sufficient to in-
duce the council to condemn it—because, if either inspector
or superintendent thought they were doing right by it, where
was the use of having a detective force? We had a detective
force, and if it were not sufficient let it be made efficient ; but
with such a force at command, and considering that it was
established to prevent such proceedings, if there was to
be a distinction, such things as these ought not to he tole-
rated. He asked the council whether this wholesale spy
system ought to be at all encouraged ?
Mr. PROCTER said he did not know what Mr. G. H. Law-
rence meant by permissive authority. He was sure that the
Watch Committee had never given any such power at that or
any other time.

Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE repeated that there appeared to
have been a kind of permissive authority.
Mr. PROCTER.—Permissive from whom ?
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE, should think it was from Mr.
Whitt y, or probably from the magistrates generally.
Mr. PROCTER.—Let that be understood, then—that it is
not from the Watch Committee.
The proceedings were then confirmed.
