HOUBE OF COMMONS.—Ttiesday. Mr. Asquith, replying to Mr. J. Redmond, said he had come to the conclusion that John Curtin, now • under Eentence 'of 'penal servitude for life, was no longer fit, on medical grounds, for prison discipline, and he wonld be liberated on licence. _Mr. Asqnith was questioned by Mr.• ' Carvell Williams about the refusal Of a Bedfai shire clergyman clergyman to celebrate A marriage because the lady had not been baptised. and stated that so far as he knew this action was without any legal warrant, and he had no doubt the law provided an adequate remedy for the aggrieved persons. Sir. W. Lawson complained, by means of a question, of the granting of a special licence to a publican in the neighbourhood of Castle 'Howard on the occasion of a recent temperance demonstration there. Mr. Asquith was unable to say whether all the legal' formalities had , been complied with, but said he was informed that great _inconvenience had arisen on former occasions from the crowded ,state of the inn in question and the difficulty experienced by the public, in obtaining refreshments. Mr. Bryce, in answer to Mr. Holland, Said that,. hiving regard .to the magnitude,of the task which would be thrown on the State were it to undertake the duty of periodical inspection of boilers, much Considera'tion would be needed before the introduction of legislation in this direction. • The House again went into Committee on the Welsh Church Bill, commencing consideration of clause 6, which provides for the disposition of 'the property of' the Church by the Commissioners ~appointed mnder the bill. Mr.; El, Thomas moved' an amendment to provide the.. ' the temporalities of the Church should be vested ,in a National Council. Mr. Asquith said the principle of the bill was that the property dealt with should as far as possible be applied and •enjoyed locally Mr. Balfour, Sir M. HicksBeach, and Lord Cranborne supported the amendment, and Mr.' Illingworth also spoke • in approval of it. Mr. Asquith said it was a  mistake to suppose that the mach•C•ery provided/ was not elastic enough to group parishes or ever) counties together, if necessary, for the purposes CC administration. That at any rate was theintention, and if a change of words was necessary carry out that intention he would make tbe change. The amendment was defeated by 19! to 179. Mr. Jebb moved an amendment to provide that not only the parish churches but also the four cathedrals should be vested in the Representative Body. Mr. Asqtaith regarded the point more as one of sentiment than anything else, and said—though he knew he wan running counter to a considerable body of feel- • ing in Wales and England—he was willing taw make this concession. The amendment was thee agreed to. Sir F. Powell moved an amendmeot to vest the burial grounds in the Representative Body. Mr. Asquith offered to introduce words treating disused burial grounds as appurtenances of the Ohurch. The amendment was pressed. and on a division it was rejectel by 169 to 149." . Further proceeding's on the bill were adiawned.  .I) 8 Liver Troubles.  o WHATis it that causes this ' • poor abject wretch to look o so downcast, that eggs him o to desperation, and that takes away O all the joy and happiness of this • life ?,:What is it that drives a man to Drink, Crime, and Despair; andseven suicide?
