2. In the House of Commons on the 10Th Lord

petition that counsel might be heard at the bar

against it, majority 1875. There were II vacancies
in the representation, and 24 members absent
These numbers with one for the Speaker, made the
whole number of members composing the House
658.
From the votes taken on the following questions
In succession, it appears that every struggle tho
majority for the Reformers was increased
sin the course of the succeeding debate there
were not less than divisions on successive
motions OF adjournment On Captain Gordon's
motion (tor Immediate adiournmcnt) there were for
ministers, 1885, against the BILL 1902; majority, 226,
On the question that the speaker do leave the Chair
tor ministers, 2S6; against the bill, 80; majority
l96. Sir Charles Wetherell's motion for an adj
Journmcnt to Thursday, for ministers 1885, against
the bill, 63; majority, 172. On Lord Stormounps
adjournment till five this day, for minister's 214;
against the bill, 44;majority, TO. Another motion
OF Sir Z. Wetherell's for adjournment, for minis
ters, BOB; against the bill, 81; majority 166 On
Mr.. Praeds motion of adjournment to Fridayxfor
ministers, 1876 against the BILL rs; nlaority 1852
Another motion was made for adjournment, on
which the numbers were for minister's 1877; against

1t will be seen, from the successive decrease frl
the number of opponents Of the bill on each diYis
sion, that the more sensible, prudent, or honest
of the party got ashamed of the ctious oppo ston;
4 q
ters of the bl-that the greatest danger the mea-
sure runs, is from their absontinp themselves
without pairing off with opponent we repeat
in the words OF the morning papers. 'tNo friend
of the Bill should leave tho house without a pair'
The names of such as do should be published, that
their constituents may know who have DISCHARGED
and who have neglected their duty.-Gjobe.
In the House of Lords, July III, it was arran-
ged That the production of tho evidence and docu-
ments relative TO the massacre at Newtownbarry,
Ireland, should take place 18th. Lord Farnhau
desired the production Of these not only that they
might have correct information, but that tho public
mind might be disabused.
In the House Of Commons, Sir Il. Sugden inqui-
red whether there was any intention to bring for
ward any measure respecting the Improvement OF
the Court Chancery.
Solicitor General Horne answered that no under
stood there was bill preparing by the Lord Chan
cellor. He added, in reply 10 further in
qury, that these Masters in Chancery who had
been appointed subsequently, TO the present devel-
opement OF inc iSOIu ChdHCeilOrs plans, took tho
appointment subject to any alteration that might
be adopted by Parliament.
The Chancellor Of the Exchequer renewed his
proposition OF last session regarding the Wine du-
tics; the plan is TO equalize the duties on foreign
Wines the duty henceforth to be IS 3d. per gal and
TO be carried into effect this year; the duty on Cao
vines to be 2s, Cd. till 1884, then IS. Cd.
