duties of a magistrate >— Lord WHAavcurm would not 

 the conduct of Mr O'Driaeoll which had led to emoval. though 



many of the circumstances admitted of palliation, and all had 

 been much exaggerated. «ut a memorial, signed I the lord- 

 lieutenant of the cou by other noblemen, by a large 



number of magistrates, ind by 2840 persons of opposite opinions 

 in religion and politics, had been presented, praying for his 

 restoration; and the Irish Chancellor, feelii g that he had b 

 sufficiently punished by his degradation from the commission 

 during six months, considered that he ought to be restored.— A 

 lively debate eaaued, turning mainly on rsonal points, and 

 shared in bv the Marquess of Xosmavbt, the Marquess of Clan- 

 niCARDi, the Earl of Bandov, Lord Cammkll, the Earls of 

 Glkvgall, Wick low, Radnor, and Mointcashel, and the 

 Loan Chancellor (who defended Lord Chancellor Sugden), when 

 the motion for the production of any correspondence or papers 

 relating to the case was agreed to.-Lord Wharvcliffk moved 

 the re-commitment of the Charitable Donations and Bequests 

 (Ireland) Bill, which he said he had endeavoured to amend in 

 such a manner as to satisfy— if it were possible to do so on any 

 question— the minds of the people of that country. The princip 

 of these amendments were the erasure of the word M Ministers' — 

 a dosignation which gave great offence to Dr. MacIIale, as applied 

 to Roman Catholic priests, and the substitution of the MaMer of 

 the Rolls in the room of the Lord Chancellor on the comn on, 

 which is now to consist of the Master of the Rolls, the Judge of 

 the Prerogative Court, and ten other persons, five to be Vi otest- 

 ants and five Roman Catholics. The am Iments having re- 

 ceived the general approbation of their lordships were agreed to 

 Thursday.— On the motion of Lord Campbkll, it wan agrc< 

 that counsel be heard on the part of Mr. r. H. Ru**t II against 

 the Gaming Actions Suspension Act Continuance Hill.— The 

 Detached Parts of Counties Hill was read a second time.— Lord 

 Brougham moved the second reading of his Aliens Hill. He 

 stated his object to be, to leave the law as it standi i respe* 

 to the exclusion of aliens from Parliament and the Prlvj < in- 

 cil, but to naturalise the children of women who are British- 

 born subjects by foreign husbands) and also to naturalist- »e 

 foreign wife of a natural- horn British subject. I he Uul wan 

 read a second time.— On the motion of Lord Mowtsagi.k, i 

 Art Unions Bill was read a aecond time.— The Loan Chancel- 

 lor brought up the report from the select com n e on the 

 Insolvent Debtors* Release Rill, and urged their lordships to 

 expedite its passing, as it would put nn end to the suffering of 

 debtors imprisoned for debts under 20/. It wa» then ordered 

 that the Bill be committed next day.— The Earl of Moc*t- 

 carhil brought forward a charge of breach of trnstagain* it 

 Chanty Commissioners In Ireland in their dealing with th 

 Clonmel Endowed School, and moved tor a select committee I 

 inquire into their management of the funds arising from this 

 echool.— Lord Whar\< mffb and the Duke of \\ ki i inoton 

 both treated the matter as a question of breach of trust, which 

 ought to be referred to an ii tigation in Cnanccry. and re 

 commended that the facts should be brought under the atten- 

 tion of the Irish Executive.— The Loan Chancrllor having 

 •bown that it was a matter for the Irish Court of i nancery and 

 not for their lordships* House, the? Ion was negatived.— The 

 Customs Duties (Isle' Man) Bill was lead a third time and 

 passed.— The Linen Manufacture Ireland; Bill went through 



committee.

 Road and Estate Bills. — Mr. E.James, counsel for Mr. Russell, 

 was called to the bar, and addressed their Lordships against the 

 Gaming Bill. When he concluded, Mr. Russell was called and 

 examined by Lord Brougham — I am the attorney in the 

 qui tarn actions. I was instructed by my clerk ; he is my 

 brother; he has a salary of 80/. a year; I brought about 34 

 actions. He did not instruct me till I first suggested to him 

 to do so ; I expect he will pay me ; I do not expect he wil I pay 

 the entire. The expense of one of those action?, if lost, might 

 be about lOeo/. A gentleman paid 900/. towards the expenses. 

 I do not know him; he did not instruct me. I decline to tell 

 who he is, because that was communicated to me as an attorney. 

 He is not my client. I know his name, but I decline to give it. 

 — Lord Brougham: No privilege will protect a man who 

 is not your client. Come, give the name. — The Loan 

 Chancellor: If you do not answer that question, you 

 will reflect on the consequences. — Witness: I decline 

 to answer, because it was a privileged communication. 

 —Lord Brougham s Did you know the name from any 

 one independent of your client? Mr. Ru*m-1i— I knew it 

 from my client first; but I knew it from Oilier sources.— 

 (A laugh.)— To the Lord Chanckm.or— Never had any commu- 

 nication with the person who paid this money, exc in the 

 presence of his brother, and thought that he was justified in 

 refusing to give the name of that person. — Lord Br* ugh am t >Id 

 the witness that he was not privileged aa to the unki n 

 person, and must consider the consequences. The Com- 

 mittee, had no power to commit him, but the House had. 

 — The Duke of Richmond asked had he n< t advised 

 his brother not to biing the action in his own name, he- 

 cause his character was so tainted ? Answer— I think I did.— 

 Lord Brougham submitted to their Lordships that as the per. 

 son at the bar admitted that the person whose name he with- 

 held was not his client, he could not refuse to give the name. 

 —After some consultation, the counsel and the witness were 

 ordered to withdraw from the bar; and the witness was pe- 

 remptorily ordered not to leave the House.— A conversation 

 ensued of some length, in which several Lords to< k part, 

 respecting the course to be pursued; when it was resolved 

 that the witness Russell be ordered to attend at the bar on 

 Monday, and that in the meantime his evidence before the 

 Select Committee and the House be printed.— The witness was 

 called in, and ordered to attend. He said— 14 1 irill obey your 

 Lordships/*— (Several Peers exclaimed— Oh, of course you will 

 On the motion of the Duke of Richmond, the further consi- 

 deration of the Bili was postponed till Monday.— The Loan 

 Chancellor called attention to a report which had appeal en 

 m the Irish papers, and which had originated in a report 

 ?* commentary in the Morning Chronicle, referring to 

 tne discussion in their Lordships* House on the writ of 

 error, the Queen v. O'Connell. He did not impute to the 

 writer of that article any bad motives; he believed that 

 tAe paragraph personally offensive to himself arose fmra 

 ignorance of the law on the part of the writer. The 

 ftioble and Learned Lord here read the article alluded to 



VL° m v wf abo ! re ; II *ni«d journal. The paragraph imputed to 

 the Noble and Learned Lord that he admitted the jury list on 

 the trial of the traversers had been fraudulently made up, for 

 the purpose of prejudicing the trial. He had said nothing of 

 tte •ort.-Lord Brouoham said the misrepresentation was 

 very gross but it arose from misapprehension in persons not

HO! OF COMMt 



Friday.— In the debate e Poor law Bill, of which we 



gave the commencement last week, the J4th clause, relating 

 to expenses incurred for insane paupers, gave rise to some ge- 

 neral discussion on the state of the insane poor througho it 

 England.— Lord Ashley, who, With some other gentlemen, has 

 for some time been occupied in a commission of inquiry Into 

 the condition of lunatics, said thtt in England and Wales there 

 are 17,000 lunatic**, und accomrmxU 1 only for 4500. In 

 Wales, this ace nimodation was especially deficient: and the 

 pauper lunatics in that principality were kept in the most miser- 

 able state, in sheds, in outho ises, and in receptacles under 

 ground. He intended shortly to bring this subject before the 

 House, with an especial view to the making ot some provtaion 

 for the care ol lunatics in the first stage of their disease, it being 

 generally practicable to eff'i their cure when undertake 

 early.— Sir J. Graham fully f* the great Importance of this 

 subject, and the 1 ece>sity for the speedy consideration of it by 

 Parliament. — Mr. Waklby insisted upon the importance ol an 

 early treatment in cases of lunacy.— The » clause relates to 

 burials of paupers, the expenses of which it enables the Boards 

 of Guardians to defray from the poor-rates, althoueh the death 

 mayhavetaken place our of the workhouse.— Mr. Waklkt 

 wished the claus< bepostj odin order that means might be 

 provided for meeting urgent cases, m nut the delay interposed 

 by the necessity of consulting the guardians. It often hap. 

 pened that several living persons were lodged in one small 

 room with a dead !y, and that their health was moat inju- 



>usly affected by its rapid dt litlon.— Sir J. Grah* 



objected to post ue thi s use, bat w inderatood to say that 

 reheving-offlcer would be authorised to take- order for the 

 burial without previous reference to guardians. — Clausal 



•is to 94, relating to the sub) auditing accounts, raised 



some discussion on the propriety 0< transferring the ap| t. 

 ment of auditors t<> the commissioners, and on exempting 

 unions under Leal Acts from the operation of their | <s. 



The clauses, however, were passed, alter two 1 n* f with. 



it alteration: and the chairman reported progress.— Tl 

 A* r Gaming I)i mtinoanci ill was read a Mtrd tin 



and passed, after the promise of an apol Mr. < rristii 



tin- Duke Of Richmond, lor the unfounded charge made a 



rmer occasion !»> the hoti. Member against his Grace in icfer- 

 encetothi nil.— Sir J. Graham obtained Irate to bring in a 

 BUI to pi defer the better administration of criminal Jutth 

 m Middlesex 1 and another Hill to re the laws relating 



the hurmngof farm bnildiugi. He stated the abject of th 

 Bill to be, to includt the rtrin certain deUche hull 



with the crime ofl arson, which, under the present defective 

 state <>i the law, was not the case. 



Saturday. The Hi use m< on Saturday at one o* ck. The 

 original object hi* meetmp he H< use was to discuss the 



Railways bill in committee. -Mr. GLansToMS, 

 mated that he was in commti cation with the directors of the 

 leading railway companies In the country, with a view to tl 

 adoptn n of certain amendments. The committee r>n tin IS 1 11 

 wast tore postponed till Thursday.— The Poor- law tmend- 



ment Hill was substituted ; and a disco* n of several hours 

 k place on the 35th or education clause— the only one that 

 #as carried .—Colonel Wooodc the postponement ol the 



enactment** authorising the combination of parishes or anions 

 Into school districts. He jeeted to the collection of ureal 

 numbers of children into large schools, notwithstanding the 

 alleged succc^ ol the expei -ut at Norwood ; ami urged the 

 so erior advantages ol those schools where the children were 



kept in connexion with their parents.— llr. W.Cowrsa vh 



cated the collective system, arm insisted on the success of the 

 Norwood institution.— Sir J. Graham explained that no dis- 

 trict was to include any parish ol which any point would be 

 m< re than IS miles distant from any other part ot such district. 

 The distneta would be so narrowed, that the Children might be 

 visited by their parents and friends on Sundays and holydaj 

 I his system was strongly n commended m the reports of seve- 

 ral Committees. By establishing:, within a few miles nf the 

 metropolis, four or five tnstlti s like that at Norwood, the 



best education, physical, moral, and religions, would be pro- 

 vided for the pauper children in the workhouses of London, 

 whom there were now 8O0O requiring ed<i " *»>• These enact 

 merits had been prepared in a spirit of Iibrrality and complete 

 toleration, and he trusted that they would not be postponed. — 

 Mr. Waklev enlarged upon the ignorance of the lower orders 

 of his countrymen, and upon the importance of educating 

 them. To the neglect of their educau m he ascribed the i 

 incendiary fires in Norfolk and Suffolk. Education ought 

 not to he undervalued because some educated men were 

 blockhead*. It certainly seemed to him ridteuU enough 

 to see what sort of person^ wire sometimes styled •'learned 

 gentlemen;" and he thought much harm was done by 

 calling a very stupid person " the learned gentleman .'• The 

 present workhouse a "hods would not * t the necessary 

 objects for the poor; and he trusted that Sir J. Graham would 

 relax none of these clauses.— Mr. Wonanoi said, that in- 

 cendiarism was not peculiar to Norfolk, and thnt no man was 

 more capable of giving an < pinion about it th»n Mi. Waklcy 

 himself— in allusion to the burningof Mr. Wakley'a house some 

 years ago, and a trial thei con. — After the cUuse bad been car- 

 r ed, and the Mouse resumed, Mr. Waki.iv rose, labouring 

 under very painful emotions, and entere<i Into a item* nt 

 the whole particulars connected with this incident ot his lit 

 After stating that he had been years in that hoU*e y and had 



never given any one member occs. > complain of hit having 



made use of observations personally offensive, he said, " 1 have 

 had doting life some difficulties to contend with. I came to 

 this town some years ago an unknown nun, and have had to 

 fuht my own battle, not always an easy one. 1 have a family 

 of children, sons. (Mere the hon. member was oeeply affected, 

 and paused. On overcoming his emotion he proceeded.) I have 

 now to demand from the hon. member for Norfolk (Mr. Wode- 

 house) an explanation of an observation which tell from him in 

 the course ol the committee, in answer to some remaiksof mine. 

 The hon. member *aid, *No oneismorecapablet ive an opinion 

 on the subject of iticendian*m than the hon. member biim-elf. 1 

 It seem^ too honhle to suppose that these words could be ap- 

 plied personally to me. It seems too horrible to believe that 

 any hon. member ol this house, without being provoked by any 

 remarks which 1 had made, should have applied such an obser- 

 vation to me. Every man who, like myself, ha* been engaged 

 in tin work of reform, must have made some enemies. Vet I 

 trust that I never fought the battle unfairly. At all events, 1 

 court the moat scrutm ig inquiry into the whole ot any private 

 life, from the fir^t hour of my existence to the present moment. 

 My public life is known , but if any gentleman feeh 1 Inters 

 in the ma:ter, and is desirous of making an investigation into 

 my private life, I Will ^ive him cvtry facility in my power for 

 pursuing the inquiry In the most ninute manner. The h< n. 

 member's observation has been publicly made in t :ace of the 

 first men in the kingdom sitting in this House; and if 1 did not 

 dare to demand an explanation of the words used by the hon. 

 member, I should 1 t dare to enter witnin these wail* again. 

 (Loud cucers.) 1 could not face a body of high-minded and 

 honourable men, if 1 wan not prepared for the most aernti- 

 niaing investigation into every circumstance to which the hon. 

 member's words might be supposed to refer. [Cheers*) I 

 fear nothing from inquiry— everything from insinuation; and 

 the insinuation, when made, is the loule>t calumny. There i> 

 now but one proper coui>e for me tt- pursue. 1 do not pretend 

 to make this a matter of private quarrel or dispute; but I ask 

 the hon. Member what meaning he attaches to his word*, when 



he applies them t ae? and before he fires an answer to the 

 11 I will Bta the cameiance to which I believe it is 



I kely they may refer. I had the misfortune to be attacked in 

 my own house; my t was burnt. I broaght an action 



against trie insurance office, which resisted iny claim; and 

 every farthing for wh ch I was injured waa given me br a jury. 

 Lord Tenterden be nc the j ieai and after the trial, one 



thejorymen, w! r*^ himself a proprietor c e insurance 

 company against which 1 proceeded, joined n< lenns in a sub* 

 aenpt ion to pay my extra expenses as between attorney and client. 

 All this was stated in the newspapers atthet4tne ; but, aa 1 

 have been most shamefully and cruelly used by persons casting 

 nt insinuations against me, I trust th*t the M.ouse will feel 

 that I have not now unnecessai erfrred It is with the great- 



est possible reluctance and pain that I make this appeal. I do not 

 throw myself on the humanity of the House, but on its sense of 

 justice ; and 1 entreat the hon. Member to state the meaning which 

 he attaches to the words he h** used when ap rig them to 

 me, and 1 callo-. him, for my sake. 1 he matter; but 



if he knows aught about me of a reproachful nature, or 11 the 

 •tightest suspicion injuria* o my character has readied htm, 

 from any source or channel, 1 call on him, in justice to me, to 

 state the circumstance without reservation to the House." (Gene-
