acious Speech from the Throne to both Houses of 
Parliament, of which Mr. Speaker said he had, for 
greater accuracy, obtained a Copy, which he read 
to the House, as followeth : 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


The period has arrived when, according to usage, 
I can again avail Myself of your advice and assist- 
ance in the preparation and adoption of Measures 
which the welfare of the Country may require. 

I continue to maintain the most friendly relations 
with Foreign Powers. 

The complicated Affairs of the Duchies of Holstein 
and Sleswig have continued to engage My attention. 
I have every reason to expect that the Treaty be- 
tween Germany and Denmark, which was concluded 
at Berlin in the year before last, will in a short time 
be fully and completely executed. 

I regret that the War which unfortunately broke 
out on the Eastern Frontier of the Cape of Good 
Hope more than a year ago, still continues. Pa 
will be laid before you containing full information as 
to the progress of the War, and the Measures which 
have been taken for bringing it to a termination. 

While I have observed with sincere satisfaction 
the tranquillity which has prevailed throughout the 

eater portion of Jreland, it is with much regret that 

have to inform you, that certain parts of the Coun- 
ties of Armagh, Monaghan and Louth have been 
marked by the commission of Outrages of the most 
serious description. The powers of the existing 
Law have been promptly exerted for the detection 
of the Offenders, and for the repression of a system 
of crime and violence fatal to the best interests of the 
Country. My attention will continue to be directed 
to this umportant object. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I have ordered Estimates of the expenses of the 
eurrent year to be laid before you. 

I rely with confidence on your loyalty and zeal to 
make adequate provision for the Public Service. 

Where any increase has been made in the Esti- 
mates of the present over the past year, such expla- 
nations will be given as will, | trust, satisfy you that 
such increase is consistent with a steady adherence 
to a pacific policy, and with the dictates of a wise 
economy. 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


The improvement of the Administration of Justice 
in its various departments has continued to receive 
My anxious attention; and in furtherance of that 
object I have directed Bills to be prepared, founded 
upon the Reports made to Me by the respective Com- 
missions appointed to inquire into the Practice and 
Proceedings of the Superior Courts of Law and 
Equity, as nothing tends more to the peace, pros- 
perity and contentment of a Country than the speedy 
and impartial Administration of Justice. I earnestly 
recommend these measures to your deliberate at- 
tention. 

The Act of 1848 for suspending the operation ofa 
previous Act conferring Representative Institutions 
on New Zealand will expire early in the next year. 
I am happy to believe that there is no necessity for its 
renewal, and that no obstacle any longer exists to the 
enjoyment of Representative Institutions by New 
Zealand. The form of these Institutions will, how- 
ever, require your consideration ; and the additional 
information which has been obtained since the pass- 
ing of the Acts in question will, I trust, enable you 
to arrive at a decision beneficial to that important 
Colony. 

It gives Me great satisfaction to be able to state 
to you, that the large reductions of Taxes which have 
taken place of late years have not been attended 
with a proportionate diminution of the National In- 
come. The Revenue of the past year has been fully 
adequate to the demands of the Public Service, 








while the reduction of Taxation has tended greatly 
to the relief and comfort of My Subjects. 

I acknowledge, with fulness to Almighty 
God, that tranquillity, good order, and «ww ae 
ence to the Laws continue to prevail generally through- 
out the Country. 

It appears to Me that this is a fitting time for 
calmly considering whether it may not be advisable 
to make such Amendments in the Act of the late 
—_ relating to the Representation of the Commons 
in Parliament as may be deemed calculated to carr 
into more complete effect the principles upon which 
that Law is founded. 

I have the fullest confidence that in any such con- 
sideration you will firmly adhere to the acknowledged 
principles of the Constitution by which the Preroga- 
tives of the Crown, the Authority of both Houses of 
Parliament, and the Rights and Liberties of the People, 
are equally secured. 


A Motion was made, and the Question being pro- Motion for 
we That an humble Address be presented to Her 444ress. 
ajesty, to convey to Her Majesty the dutiful thanks 

of this. House for Her Most gracious Speech from 
the Throne :

That while we unite with Her Majesty in the sin- 
cere satisfaction with which Her Majesty has ob- 
served the tranquillity which has prevailed throughout 
the greater portion of Jreland, we deplore, in common 
with Her does that certain parts of the Counties 
of Armagh, Monaghan and Louth have been marked 
by the commission of Outrages of the most serious 
description ; that we rejoice to learn that the powers 
of the existing Law have been promptly exerted for 
the detection of the Offenders, and for the repression 
of a system of crime and violence fatal to the best 
interests of the Country ; that we thank Her Ma- 
jesty for acquainting us that Her attention will con-

To thank Her Majesty for having ordered Esti-

before us ; and for the confidence which Her Majesty 
has been pleased to express in our loyalty and zeal 
to make adequate provision for the Public Service : 

To convey to Her Majesty our thanks for informing 
us, that where any increase has been made in the 
Estimates of the present over the past year, such ex- 
planations will be given as will, Her Majesty trusts, 
satisfy us that such increase is consistent with a 
steady adherence to a pacific policy, and with the 
dictates of a wise economy : 

To thank Her Majesty for informing us, that the 
improvement of the Administration of Justice in its 
various departments has continued to receive Her 
anxious attention, and that in furtherance of that

the respective Commissioners appointed to inquire

Courts of Law and Equity : 

That we humbly concur with Her Majesty in the 
persuasion that nothing tends more to the peace, 
prosperity and contentment of a Country, than the 
speedy and impartial Administration of Justice, and 
it will be our duty to give our best consideration to 
those measures which Her Majesty has recommended 
to our attention on this subject: 

To express our thanks to Her Majesty for informing 
us, that Her Majesty believes that there is no neces- 
sity to renew the Act of 1848, for suspending the 
operation of a previous Act conferring Representative 
Institutions on New Zealand, which will expire early 
in the next year; and that no obstacle any longer 
exists to the enjoyment of Representative Institutions 
by New Zealand ; to assure Her Majesty, that the 
form of these Institutions shall receive our best con- 
sideration, and that we trust, with the aid of the ad- 
ditional information which has been obtained since 
the passing of the Acts. in question, to arrive at a 
decision beneficial to that important Colony : 

Humbly to state to Her Majesty, that we partici- 
pate in the satisfaction which Her Majesty has been 
pleased to express in being able to inform us, that 
the large reductions of Taxes which have taken place 
of late years have not been attended with a propor- 
tionate diminution of the National Income ; that we 
rejoice to learn that, while the reduction of Taxation 
has tended greatly to the relief and comfort of Her 
Majesty’s Subjects, the Revenue of the past year has

Law is founded : 

That we thank Her Majesty for the expression of |

Sir Richard Bulkeley reported from the Committee 
appointed yesterday, to draw up an Address to be 
presented to Her Majesty, That they had drawn up 
an Address accordingly ; and the same was read, as 
followeth : 


Most Gracious Sovereign, 


We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal sub- 
jects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, beg 
leave to express to Your Majesty our humble thanks 
for Your Majesty's most gracious Speech from the 
Throne : 

We humbly concur with Your Majesty, that the 
period has arrived when, according to usage, Your 
Majesty can again avail Yourself of our advice and 
assistance in the preparation and adoption of mea- 
sures which the welfare of the Country may require : 

We rejoice to learn that Your Majesty continues to 
maintain the most friendly relations with Foreign 
Powers : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for acquainting 
us that the complicated Affairs of the Duchies of 
Holstein and S/eswig have continued to engage Your 
attention, and that Your Majesty has every reason to 
expect that the Treaty between Germany and Den- 
mark, which was concluded at Berlin in the year 
before last, will in a short time be fully and com- 
pletely executed : 

We assure Your Majesty, that we participate in 
the regret which Your Majesty has expressed, that 
the War which unfortunately broke out on the eastern 
frontier of the Cape of Good Hope more than a year 
ago still continues; and we thank Your Majesty for 
informing us, that papers will be laid before us con- 
taining full information as to the progress of the War, 
and the measures which have been taken for bringing 
it to a termination : 

While we unite with Your Majesty in the sincere 
satisfaction with which Your Majesty has observed 
the tranquillity which has prevailed throughout the 
greater portion of Jreland, we deplore, in common 
with Your Majesty, that certain parts of the Counties 
of Armagh, Monaghan and Louth have been marked 
by the commission of outrages of the most serious 
description ; that we rejoice to learn that the powers 
of the existing Law have been promptly exerted for 
the detection of the offenders, and for the repression 
of a system of crime and violence fatal to the best 
interests of the Country; that we thank Your Ma- 

jesty for acquainting us that Your attention will con- 
tinue to be directed to this important object : 

We thank Your Majesty for having ordered Esti- 
mates of the Expenses of the current year to be laid 
before us; and for the confidence which Your Ma- 
jesty has been pleased to express in our loyalty and zeal 
to make adequate provision for the Public Service : 

We beg to convey to Your Majesty our thanks for 
informing us that where any increase has been made 
in the Estimates of the present over the past year, 
such explanations will be given as will satisfy us that 
such increase is consistent with a steady adherence 
to a pacific policy, and with the dictates of a wise 

economy : 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that the 
improvement of the Administration of Justice in its 
various departments has continued to receive Your 
anxious attention, and that in furtherance of that 
object, Your Majesty has directed Bills to be prepared, 
founded upon the Reports made to Your Majesty by 
the respective Commissioners appointed to inquire 
into the practice and proceedings of the Superior 
Courts of Law and Equity: 

We humbly concur with Your Majesty in the per- 
‘suasion that nothing tends more to the peace, pros- 
perity and contentment of a Country, than the speed 
and impartial Administration of Justice, and it will 
be our duty to give our best consideration to those 
measures which Your Majesty has recommended to 
our attention on this subject : 

VoL. 107. 


4° Februarit.

We beg leave to express our thanks to Your Ma- 
jesty for informing us that Your Majesty believes 
there is no necessity to renew the Act of 1848, for 
suspending the operation of a previous Act conferri 
Representative Institutions on New Zealand, whic 
will expire early in the next year; and that no ob- 
stacle any longer exists to the enjoyment of Repre- 
sentative Institutions by New Zealand; we assure 
Your Majesty, that the form of these Institutions 
shall receive our best consideration; and we trust, 
with the aid of the additional information which has 
been obtained since the passing of the Acts in question, 
to arrive at a decision beneficial to that important 
Colony. 

We humbly state to Your Majesty, that we par- 
ticipate in the satisfaction which Your Majesty has 
been pleased to express in being able to inform us, 
that the large reductions of Taxes which have taken 
place of late years have not been attended with a 
proportionate diminution of the National Income ; 
and we rejoice to learn that, while the reduction of 
Taxation has tended greatly to the relief and comfort 
of Your Majesty’s subjects, the Revenue of the past 
year has been fully adequate to the demands of the 
Public Service : 

We humbly join with Your Majesty in acknow- 
ledging, with thankfulness to Almighty God, that 
tranquillity, good order, and willing obedience to the 
Laws, continue to prevail generally throughout the 
Country : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for the expression 
of Your Majesty’s opinion that this is a fitting time 
for calmly considering whether it may not be advisa- 
ble to make such Amendments in the Act of the late 
reign, relating to the Representation of the Commons 
in Parliament, as may be deemed calculated to car 
into more complete effect the principles upon which 
that Law is founded : 

We thank Your Majesty for the expression of the 
confidence which Your Majesty feels that, in any such 
consideration, we shall firmly adhere to the acknow- 
ledged principles of the Constitution, by which the 
Prerogatives of the Crown, the Authority of both 
Houses of Parliament, and the Rights and Liberties 
of the People, are equally secured. 

Resolved, That this 7. ae doth agree with the 
Committee in the said Address to be presented to 
Her Majesty. 

Ordered, That the said Address be presented to 
Her Majesty by such Members of this House as are 
of Her Majesty’s Most honourable Privy Council.

A Petition of Electors of the Borough of Har- |

of E’‘arwich, entitled to vote in the Election of Mem- | 


bers to serve in Parliament, and had a right to vote 
at the last Election of a Member to serve in Par- 
liament for the said Borough ; that at the said last 
Election for the said Borough, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, 
Knight, was by the Mayor and Returning Officer of 
the said Borough declared duly elected to serve in 
this present Parliament for the said Borough ; that 
the Election and Return of the said Sir Fitzroy 


Kelly, Knight, was an undue Election and Return, 
and was procured by improper and unconstitutional 





29°— 30° Aprilis. 





A. 1852. 


means, whereby the true voice of the Electors was 
revented from being heard, and the Election and 
turn of the said Fitzroy Kelly was and is wholly 
null and void; that the said Fitzroy Kelly came 
forward in the year One thousand eight hundred and 
forty-seven, under the influence of John Attwood, 
Esquire, at an Election for the Borough of Lyme 
Regis, and at the cost and expense of the said John 
Attwood, a Petition was prosecuted, and Proceedings 
had in Parliament, from which it distinctly appeared 
that the interest of the said Fitzroy Kelly was sup- 
ported by the agents of the said John Attwood, and 
at his personal expense ; that the said John Attwood 
having been returned for Harwich in the same 
year, One thousand eight hundred and forty-seven, 
was unseated on Petition presented against his Re- 
turn, and thereby disqualified from himself sitting 
during this present Parliament for the said Borough 
of Harwich; that the said John Attwood being 
unable, by reason of the disqualification occasioned 
by the finding of the Committee upon the said Peti- 
tion, to come forward at the last Election for the 
Borough of Harwich, the said Fitzroy Kelly was 
brought forward under the influence and in the 
place of the said John Attwood ; that the placing 
of the said Fitzroy Kelly in the room of the said 
John Attwood, and! thereby bringing to bear all 
the influence of which the Electors of Harwich, by 
Petition signed by a large body of them in the year 
One thousand eight hundred and forty-eight, com- 
plained, was an undue interference with the freedom 
of Election, which operated upon the Electors of 
Harwich, and which rendered it impossible to assert 
the right of independent voting without subjectin 
the Electors who were under the control of the sai 
John Attwood to the exercise of the power which he 
possessed, and which they feared, and by intimida- 
tion and undue influence the Return of the said 
Fitzroy Kelly was procured ; and praying that the 
House will take the premises into their consideration, 
and will declare the Election and Return of Sir Fitz- 
roy Kelly to be null and void, and give to the Peti- 
tioners the relief which to the House shall seem meet. 

Ordered, That the said Petition be referred to the 
General Committee of Elections. 

Ordered, That Mr. Speaker do issue his Warrant 
or Warrants for such persons, papers and records as 
shall be thought necessary by the several Parties on 
the hearing of the matter of the said Petition.

Ordered, That the Select Committee appointed to Feargus 
inquire into the facts contained in the Petition of 0'Connor, Esq. 
Harriet Bernard Browne O'Connor, stating her 
belief that her brother Mr. Feargus O’ Connor is of 
unsound mind, and praying that he may be dis- 
charged from custody, in order that he may be 
immediately placed in confinement under proper 
medical treatment, have Power to report their é - 
servations thereupon to the House. 

Mr. Secretary Walpole reported from the said 
Select Committee, That they had considered the 
matter to them referred, and agreed to the following 
Report : 

Your Committee have inquired into the facts 
contained in the Petition presented by Miss Har- 
riet Bernard Browne O’ Connor, praying that Mr. 
Feargus O’Connor, being a lunatic, may be dis- 
charged from custody, in order that he may be im- 
mediately placed in confinement under proper medi- 
cal treatment, and they find that the same are true. 

It appears by the evidence of Mr. Lawrence 
and Dr. Tweedie that they have separately visited 
and personally examined Mr. Feargus O'Connor, 
and they have each of them certified, according to 
the Statute made in that behalf, that he is of un- 
sound mind, and a proper person to be confined. 

It further appears by the evidence of the Peti- 
tioner, that she has requested Dr. Tuke to receive her 
brother into his private asylum at Chiswick, and that 
Dr. Tuke is willing to do so, according to arrange- 
ments which have been made for that purpose. 

The Petitioner is the nearest relative of Mr. O’ Con- 
nor now in England, and she has signed the Order 
required by the Statute, requesting Dr. Tuke to re- 
ceive Mr. O’ Connor as a patient into his house.

A Motion was made, and the Question being put, Gold Mines, 

1. That it is the duty of the Government to take ** 
measures to guard against the possible effects of 
the increasing production of the Gold Mines upon 
the holders of the Public Securities. 2. That the 
contract with the holders of the Public Securities 
ought to be substantially maintained. 3. That to 
see a process to the contrary going on, and refuse to 
hinder it, is repudiation. 4. That the contract 
will not be substantially maintained, if the payments 
to the fundholders are allowed to dwindle to nothing 
through diminutions in the value of gold. 5. That 
the community has no interest in defrauding the 
fundholders to serve the payers of the taxes; as 
would be distinctly visible if every man were a 
fundholder in the same proportion that he is a tax- 
payer. 6. That the expectation that the tax- 
payers are to gain, either by diminution of value of 
the pieces in which the taxes are to be paid, or by 
the annihilation of the payments for the debt, is 
nugatory; because there is no Chancellor of the 
Exchequer who would not make either of these a 
ground for increasing the taxation and expenditure 
to correspond. 7. That the endeavour to persuade 
the industrious classes that they would be the better 
for having more gold under a corresponding dimi- 
nution of its value,is an affront to their intelligence. 
8. That a continual diminution in the value of the 
current money is opposed to the just interest of the 
classes who live by wages; because it would keep 
them in a perpetual struggle for an increase of 
money wages, in which they are sure to lose and 
not to gain. 9. That fora like reason it is opposed 
to the just interest of the owners of rent, or so 
many as are free from mortgages ; because it would 
keep them in a perpetual struggle for an increase of 
money rents, in which they are sure to lose and not 
to gain, to say nothing of the unpleasantness of the 
contest. 10. That the allegation that the funa- 
holders have been overpaid in consequence of what 
is denominated Peel’s Bill, is a mis-statement, de- 
pendent upon reckoning all who have been over- 
paid, and taking no account of all who have been 
underpaid; the truth being that on taking both 
together, there is, on the lowest estimate, a balance 
of eight millions and a half, which, on an equitable 
adjustment, would be due to the fundholders. 11. 





VoL. 107.

RR3+ That 


310 
That if the discovery of new gold mines should go 
on, it will lead to a diminution in the value of the 
precious metals, like that which occurred in the 
reign of Elizabeth and periods subsequent, in con- 
sequence of the discovery of America, 12. That 
it is no argument against the imminence of this re- 
sult, that commercial men show no symptoms of 
alarm; because to the general operations of com- 
merce it is indifferent whether gold is dear or 
cheap ; for the simple reason that every man pays 
it away at the same rate that he receives, and vice 
versd. 13. That the derangement which, from such 
a cause, would be made in the property of the fund- 
holders and all old creditors and mortgagees, ought 
to be prevented by the means which, so far as 
applied, were effectual in the time of Elizabeth, 
namely, by application of the principle of a corn- 
rent. 14. That the application of that principle 
would be effected, and comparative steadiness in 
the value of money obtained, by the issue of a Bank 
of England Paper, containing no promise to pay, 
but issuable only to such amounts as should be 
from time to time directed by Act of Parliament, on 
evidence produced that the price of wheat had, for 
the average of a certain period, been below 
shillings per quarter; any contravention of such 
Acts, in respect of issuing more than therein 
directed, to be dealt with as in cases of forgery ; 
the amount of such authorized issues to be debited 
to the Exchequer, and applied tu the Consolidated 
Fund. 15. That the efficiency of such an incon- 
vertible public Paper is evidenced by the experi- 
ment of 1797, when the Paper of the Bank of 
England, though payment was refused, maintained 
its value, without depreciation, except what was the 
necessary consequence of the premeditated over- 
issues. 16. That the belief in the necessity of the 
community’s providing and paying for twenty-one 
millions of Gold to be kept in cellars, is a supersti- 
tion of the same nature as if a manufacturer in 
Manchester, or a merchant in Liverpool, should 
think he could not maintain his credit without a 
similar precaution. 17. That in any community the 
collection of a treasure of this kind is impolitic 
and dangerous, as holding out temptation to inva- 
sions from abroad, and to coups d’élat at home. 18. 
That in a settled and civilized community, there is 
no more necessity for the instrament of exchange 
to be framed of materials equal in value to the 
amount concerned, than for a bond or other obliga- 
tion to be traced upon a plate of Gold of the value 
of the amount at issue. 19. That such a Bank of 
England Paper as proposed, might be issued 
gradually, and the present Notes withdrawn ; 
thereby preventing the dangers of sudden change. 
20. ‘That nothing herein contained would have any 
tendency to check the trade in Gold. The gold- 
finders will always obtain for their Gold the sub-

value of such articles, and such articles may be 
classed under five Schedules or Lists ; viz. produc- 
ing in

No. 233 e and Duty £.434,154 








Also, that there are entries in the Custom-house 
Tariff of Foreign Agricultural Produce charged with 
Import Duties varying in amount, and these articles 
may be classed under six Heads or Schedules, 
namely, in 
Schedule. Import Duty.

That whilst the agricultural produce of Wheat, 
Barley, Oats and other grain, and Oxen, Sheep, 
Goats and other animals, are admitted duty free to 
compete with similar productions of the United 
Kingdom, it is both impolitic and unjust to the 
country, and to the agricultural interests especially, 
to continue Duties of Import on articles of Foreign 
Manufacture of the same kind and class with those 
manufactured in the United Kingdom, as by these 
em Duties on Imports the fair competition of 

oreign Manufactured Articles with the articles of 
British Manufacture is prevented. 








That this House will, at an early period, take into 
its consideration the inequality and injustice of the 
existing Tariff on articles of import into this country,

United Kingdom :—And the said Motion was, with 
leave of the House, withdrawn. e 
Mr. Gladstone reported from the Committee ap- Aberdeen 
a to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the Boys, snd 
ords for disagreeing to certain of the Amendments pitals Bill. 
made by their Lordships to the Aberdeen Boys’ and 
Girls’ Hospitals Bill; That they had drawn up 
Reasons accordingly, which they had directed him 
to report to the nae and the same were read, 
as follow : 
1. The Commons disagree to the Amend- 
ment made by the Lords in p. 11, |. 7, which 
was, to leave out “ Right,” because the Order 
of Bishops is recognized by law, and the ad- 
junct of Right Reverend, and not of Reverend 
only, properly and regularly appertains to the 
said Order. 
2. The Commons disagree to the Amend- 
ment made by the Lords in p. 11, |. 8, being 
after “ D.D.” to insert “ Episcopal,” because 
the phrase “ Episcopal Bishop” is novel and 
inconvenient, obscure as to its signification, and 
ill adapted, if so intended, for the end of dis- 
pers the position and ee | of this 
Bishop from those of any other Bishop who 
may be in Aberdeen. 
3. The Commons disagree to so much of 
the Amendment made by the Lords in p. 11, 
1. 8 &amp; 9, as leaves out “ and Primus of the Epis- 
“ copal Church,” and agree to so much of the 
said Amendment as leaves out the word “ Scot- 
** tish,” and propose to add, at the end of the 
words so proposed to be left out by the Lords, ' 
the words “ in Scotland,” because by the words 
“ Primus of the Episcopal Church in Scot- 
“ land,” the position and capacity of the Right 
Reverend Bishop Skinner is conveniently and 
effectually distinguished from those of any other 
Bishop who may be in Aberdeen. 
The Commons agree to the other Amend- 
ments made by the Lords. 
The said Reasons, being read a second time, were 
agreed to. 
Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords, 
to communicate the said Reasons (with the Bill and 
Amendments): And that Mr. Gladstone do carry 
the same.

Gentleman, stating that there is now in existence a P™!"#8°-

tered into; and praying the House to authorize 
that the Standing Order in regard to Subscription 
Contracts may be dispensed with, in so far as the 
said measure is concerned, or to grant leave for the

The House, according to Order, proceeded to 
take into consideration the Reasons assigned by 
the Lords for disagreeing to certain of the Amend- 
ments made by this House to the Patent Law 
Amendment Bill; and the same were read, as 
follow : 

“The Lords disagree to the Amendment made by 
the Commons in p. 9, 1, 1, to leave out Clause 24, 
for the following Reason: 

“ Because, with the present facilities of inter- 
course among all nations, the benefit of every 
invention in use in any Foreign Country will 
easily and speedily be obtained for this 
Country, without the necessity of imposing 
the restrictions necessarily consequent on the 
monopoly of a Patent. 

“The heels disagree to the Amendments made by 
the Commons in ls, 14 and 15, to leave out ‘ at 
‘ the same time with or,’ and in 1. 15, to leave out 
* or after,’ for the following Reason: 

“ Because, if these words are omitted, the object 
of the Clause, which is to prevent Patents 
for Foreign Inventions obtained in this 
Country from continuing in force here after 
they have expired abroad, would be materially 
defeated. 

“ The Lords propose to amend the original Bill in 
the following places : 

“ P. 16, 1. 2. To leave out ‘passing,’ and insert 
* commencement.’ 

“L. 5. To leave out passing,’ and insert ‘com- 
* mencement.’ 

“L. 6. To leave out ‘ passing,’ and insert ‘ com- 
‘mencement,’ for the following Reason: 

“ Because these Amendments are rendered ne- 
cessary in consequence of the insertion by 
the Commons of Clause (O.), (fixing the 
time from whence the Act is to take effect.) 

“ With the preceding exceptions, the Lords agree 
to all the Amendments made by the Commons to 
the said Bill.” 

Resolved, That this House doth insist upon their 





Amendments in p. 9,1. 1, and lines 14 and 15, to 
the said Bill, to which the Lords have disagreed ; 
and agree to the Amendments made by the Lords 
to the original Bill. 

Ordered, That a Committee be appointed to draw 
up Reasons to be assigned to the Lords for insisting 
upon certain of the Amendments to the said Bill, 
to which the Lords have disagreed :—And a Com- 
mittee was appointed of Mr. Henley, Mr. Secretary 
Walpole, Mr. Solicitor General, Mr. Secretary-at- 
War, Sir Francis Baring, Lord Seymour, and Mr. 
Brotherton:—And they are to withdraw imme- 
diately. 

Ordered, That Three be the Quorum. 


The House, according to Order, proceeded to Improvement 
take into consideration the Reasons assigned by ° the Juris. 
the Lords for disagreeing to one of the Amendments i om 
made by this House to the Improvement of the , 
Jurisdiction of Equity Bill; and the same were 
read, as follow : 

“ The Lords disagree to Clause (E.), added by the 
Commons to the said Bill, for the following Reasons : 

“ Because the want of a power to send a case 
for the opinion of a Court of Law, may 
occasion delay and expense to the Suitor ; 
and because such a power, when exercised 
with discretion, forms an exception to the 
general rule, that every cause ought to be 
heard throughout in the same Court. 

“ With the preceding exception, the Lords agree 
to the whole of the Amendments made by the 
Commons to the said Bill.” 

Resolved, That this House doth insist upon 
Clause (E.), the said Amendment to which the 
Lords have disagreed. 

Ordered, That a Committee be appointed to draw 
up Reasons to be assigned to the Lords for insist- 
ing upon one of the Amendments to the said Bill, 
to which the Lords have disagreed :—And a Com- 
mittee was appointed of Sir William Jolliffe, Mr. 
Solicitor General, Mr. Bethell, Sir William Page 
Wood, Sir John Trollope, Lord John Manners, Sir 
Philip Egerton, and Mr. Brotherton :— And they 
are to withdraw immediately. 

Ordered, ‘That Three be the Quorum,

seriously interfere with the rights of patentees 
in this country, and restrict the operation of 
patents to an injurious extent. 

2d. Because, by reason of the difficulty, and 
in many cases the impossibility, of obtaining

After which, Her Majesty was pleased to make a Her Majesty's 


most gracious Speech from the Throne to both Speech. 
Houses of Parliament, as followeth : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


I am induced, by considerations of public policy, 
to release you at an earlier period than usual from 
your legislative duties. 

The zeal and diligence, however, with which you 
have applied yourselves to your Parliamentary la- 
bours, have enabled Me, in this comparatively short 
Session, to give My assent to many Measures of 
high importance, and, I trust, of great and perma- 
nent advantage. 

1 receive from all Foreign Powers assurances that 
they are animated by the most friendly dispositions 
towards this Country; and I entertain a confident 
hope that the amicable relations happily subsisting. 
between the principal European States may be so 
firmly established as, under Divine Providence, to 
secure to the World a long continuance of the bless- 
ings of Peace. To this great end, My attention 
will be unremittingly directed. 

I rejoice that the final settlement of the affairs of 
Holstein and Schleswig, by the general concurrence 
of the Powers chiefly interested, has removed one 
cause of recent difference and of future anxiety. 
The amicable termination of the discussions which 
have taken place between the Sublime Porte and the 


.Pacha of Egypt afford a guarantee for the tran- 


quillity of the East, and an encouragement to the 
extension of commercial enterprise. 

The refusal on the part of the King of Ava of re- 
dress justly demanded for insults and injuries offered 
to My Subjects at Rangoon, has necessarily led to 
an interruption of friendly relations with that Sove- 
reign. The promptitude and vigour with which the 
Governor General of Jndia has taken the Measures 
thus rendered unavoidable have merited My entire 
approbation ; and I am confident that you will par- 
ticipate in the satisfaction with which I have observed 
the conduct of all the Naval and Military Forces, 
European and Indian, by whose valour and disci- 
pline the important captures of Rangoon and Marta- 
ban have been accomplished, and in the hope which 
I entertain that these signal successes may lead to an 
early and honourable Peace. 

Treaties have been concluded by My Naval Com- 
manders with the King of Dahomey and all the 
African Chiefs whose rule extends along the Bight 
of Benin, for the total abolition of the Slave Trade, 
which is at present wholly suppressed upon that 
Coast. 

I have had great satisfaction in giving My assent 
to the Measure which you have wisely adopted for 
the better organization of the Militia; a constitu- 
tional force, Which, being limited to purposes of in- 
ternal defence, can afford no just ground of jealousy 
to neighbouring Powers, but which, in the event 
of any sudden and unforeseen disturbance of My 
Foreign Relations, would at all times contribute 
essentially to the protection and security of My 
Dominions. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I thank you for the liberal provision which you 
have made for the exigencies of the Public Service. 
The Expenditure which you have authorized shall 
be applied with a due regard to economy and ef- 
ficiency. 

The recent discoveries of extensive Gold Fields 
have produced in the Australian Colonies a tem- 
porary disturbance of Society, requiring prompt 
attention. I have taken such steps as appeared to 
Me most urgently necessary for the mitigation of 
this serious evil. I shall continue anxiously to watch 
the important results which must follow from these 
discoveries. I have willingly concurred with you in 
an Act, which, by rendering available to the Service 
of those Colonies the portion arising within them of 





Vou. 107. 





8c 2 the 


374 


the Hereditary Revenue placed at the disposal of 
Parliament on My Accession to the Throne, may 
enable them to meet their necessarily increased Ex- 
penditure. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


I have gladly assented to the important Bills 
which you have passed for effecting Reforms, long 
and anxiously desired, in the Practice and Proceed- 
ings of the Superior Courts of Law and Equity, and 
generally for improving the Administration of Jus- 
tice. Every measure which simplifies the forms and 
diminishes the Delay and Expense of Legal Pro- 
ceedings, without introducing uncertainty of decision, 
impairing the authority of the Courts, or lowering 
the high standard of the Judicial Bench, is a valuable 
boon conferred on the Community at large. 

I hope that the Measures which you have adopted 
for promoting Extra-mural Interment of the Dead, 
and for improving the Supply of Water, may be 
found effectual for the remedy of" evils, the existence 
of which has long been a reproach to this great 
Metropolis, and may conduce to the health and 
comfort of its inhabitants. 

The extension of popular rights and legislative 
powers to My Subjects resident in the Colonies is 
always to Me an object of deep interest ; and I trust 
that the Representative Institutions which, in concert 
with you, | have sanctioned for New Zealand may 


1° Juliz. 





A, 1852. 


promote the welfare and contentment of the popula 
tion of that distant, but most interesting, Echon i 
and confirm their loyalty and attachment to My 
Crown. 

It is My intention, without delay, to dissolve this 
present Parliament; and it is My earnest prayer, 
that in the exercise of the high functions which, ac- 
cording to our free Constitution, will devolve upon 
the several Constituencies, they may be directed 
by an All-wise Providence to the Selection of Repre- 
sentatives whose wisdom and patriotism may aid Me 
in My unceasing endeavours to sustain the honour 
and dignity of My Crown, to uphold the Protestant 
Institutions of the Country, and the Civil and Re- 
ligious Liberty which is their natural result, to extend 
and improve the National Education, to develope 
and encourage Industry, Art and Science, ‘and to 
elevate the moral and social condition, and thereby 
promote the welfare and happiness of My people. 


Then the Lord Chancellor, by Her Majesty’s Com- 


mand, said ; 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


It is Her Majesty’s Royal will and pleasure, that partiament 
this Parliament be prorogued to Friday the 20th day prorogued, 


of August next, to be then here holden; and this 
Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Friday the 
20th day of August next.
