The Hon earl Leaned Member then preeeedid Wooden
the ',feral *litotes repsiatinf the Poor Laws. The eye-
tem of select vestries had been tined highly hoseetlesof.
and he unposed to codeine. to,•extend the beeeet
which Awl resulted fro* it. la like uleaust he wished
to preserve the value of Assistant Overseer 'at a
declaring that. amen, smaller parishes. one overseer
should perform 114 duty of two. This easistaat over-
seer should be appointed by the ifeitry,imt should be
controlled by the Magistrates. The nett Orovisies
(erred to the rate. At present lb* titres vestry bad so
power to settle the rate. This power be Weight it
would be reasonable to giro them. As the law Dow
I stood they had thipower in certain cased to make le-
trifles to enable them to distinguish the meritorioes
trona the dissolute applicants for relief. This power he
proposed to extend, Ise hoped not urweastniably. by giv-
ing the Justices of the Peace wed the Select Vestry ad-
,s`ditional mesas of midair these inquirlei. He also
would suggest a declaratory clause, Kleist a power to
employ the poor out of the parish, epos which they
were chargeable, provided the distance did not exceed
a reasonable distance, probably oils or ten miles. The
other alterations of the law which he was about to prii•
pose were of • more covet nature. The first weed teed
the making out of lists, containing fell partitatiate
the allowance paid to the applicant, and tics amount•er
his earnings. This would enable the Moen at a future
pert) pro to ascertain the root of the evil.—
Thai lists were to he returned to the Magistrates who
were to glee orders ateordingle, for the direction to
which the labours of the paupers should be directed..—
This might lead to mach beiseit with respect to the is-
movement of oar turnpike roads. The eat alteration
was se twattment, that at the *ad of the year the as

parish, should be put. (we believe the Hoe. Member
said) to severer labour. His object was to encourage a
degree of ambition einem, the poor, and to &Mesh
the number of spongers es the parish feed. He pro-
posed to make other prevision, principally to enforce
regularity in the keepleg of the palish eecoasts,
out throwing weep Windom' laboer in the Overseers.
The 'abject ofsettlinneat admitted of so mach diffweece
of opinion, and invited so mach discuseiee, that he had
thought it better not to meddle With it at peewit Ig.
however, his aleasare should be received favourably by
the House, be might be iodaked to offer some sensed*.
on that important subject in the course of the next See-
sloe. For the same reason be bad forborne to teach oh
the ,abject of removal ; but he would oinerve that, as-
tray to some opisions of considerable weight.he theuight
removal should be rendered easy. and sruirtnrsts

course, should at present refrs4o from veering any 984•

after some farther obeereations en the IMO:whims of
magisterial duties with reference to this solve!, con-
cluded by moving "For leave to brie/ In a Bill to

Mr. Secretary PEEL moved the Order of the Day for
receiving the sport es this Bill.
After a conversed** between Mr. Illeasat.. Mr. Se-
cretary Peat.. Mr. &settee, and the Seseeeft, the Re.
port was brought 1p and agreed to.
Mr. SCA RLErr them moved the addlthie to the Bill
of several clauses. The first was for 'whistling the
power given by the teeth section of the Bill to Ideal
Magistrates. The second was to pretest as abuse of
the Bill, by forbidding the removal of soy pima; being
the subject of a cesatry in amity with this, unless it
shield be previously deposed en oath, that be was ea-
gaged Is a eoespiracy against the Hoverement if that
'Sesser. This, he (Mr. S.) coaceived would not be in-
mieleleat with the professed object of the Bill. The
wet clause was for directing that there be laid before
both Houses of Parliameet a list of the obese wet stet
of the emery under the eat. Another was empowering
aliens to cull for a commaeication is wide' of the
charges agaiast them upon which it was premised to
send there away. This was to noble aliens to avail
themselves with '&0. of the right of appeal to the
Privy Come. It would be wee that these claws did
sot interfere with the powers given by the Bill.
Mr. Secretary PBBL opposed all the clauses. The
first was seeeesesary, as the local Magistrates could Dot
act without special authority from the Secretary of
State. No object's* had ever been made to give a ce-
tera es Motion of the peewee sent out of the country
seder the Act, sad the clause ea that subject w. -s also
meteceseary. The appeal to the Privy Goancll, be coo-
was complete Wiliest the clause ea that subject.
