greater accuracy, obtained a Copy ; which he read 
to the House, as followeth: 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


It is with great satisfaction that I again meet you 
in Parliament, and have recourse to your assistance 
and advice. 

My relations with Foreign Powers continue to be 
on a friendly and satisfactory footing. 

At the close of the last Session I informed you 
that overtures had been made to Me to ascertain 
whether, if a Conference should be held by the 
Great Powers of Europe, for the purpose of settlin 
arrangements connected with the present state ont 
future condition of Jtaly, a Plenipotentiary would 
be sent by Me to assist at such a Conference. I

have since received a formal invitation from the Em- 
peror of Austria and from the Emperor of the French 
to send a Plenipotentiary to a Congress, to consist 
of the Representatives of the eight Powers who were 
parties to the Treaties of Vienna of 1815 ; the objects 
of such Congress being stated to be, to receive com- 
munications of the ‘Treaties concluded at Zurich; 
and to deliberate, associating with the above-men- 
tioned Powers the Courts of Rome, of Sardinia, 
and of the Two Sicilies, on the means best adapted 
for the pacification of Jta/ly, and for placing its 
prosperity on a solid and durable basis. 

Desirous at all times to concur in proceedings 
having for their object the maintenance of peace, I 
accepted the invitation, but, at the same time, I 
made known that, in such a Congress, I should . 
steadfastly maintain the principle that no external 
force should be employed to impose upoa the People 
of Italy any particular Government or Constitution. 

Circumstances have arisen which have led to a 
ayy of the Congress, without any day 

aving been fixed for its meeting; but, whether in 
Congress or in separate Negotiation, I shall endea- 
vour to obtain for the Peuple of Jtaly freedom from 
foreign interference by force of arms in their internal 
concerns; and | trust that the affairs of the Italian 
Peninsula may be peacefully and satisfactorily settled. 

Papers on this subject will soon be laid before 
you. 

I am in communication with the Emperor of the 
French, with a view to extend the commercial inter- 
course between the two Countries, and thus to draw 
still closer the bonds of friendly alliance between 
them. 

A dispute having arisen between Spain and Mo- 
rocco, I endeavoured by friendly means to prevent 


‘a rupture; but J regret to say without success. 


I will direct Papers on this subject to be laid 
before you. 

My Plenipotentiary and the Plenipotentiary of 
the Emperor of the French having, in obedience to 
their instructions, proceeded to the mouth of the 
Peiho River, in order to repair to Pekin to exchange 
in that city the ratifications of the Treaty of Tien- 
tsin, in pursuance of the 56th Article of that Treaty, 
their further progress was opposed by force, and a 
conflict took place between the Chinese Forts at the 
mouth of the river and the Naval Forces by which 
the Plenipotentiaries were escorted. 

The Allied Forces displayed on this occasion their 
usual bravery; but, after sustaining a severe loss, 
were compelled to retire. 

I am preparing, in concert and co-operation with 
the Emperor of the French, an expedition, intended 
to obtain redress, and a fulfilment of the stipulations 
of the Treaty of Tien-tsin. 

It will be gratifying to Me, if the prompt ac- 
quiescence of the Emperor of China in the mode- 
rate demands which will be made by the Ple- 
nipotentiaries shall obviate the necessity for the 
employment of force. 

1 have directed that Papers on this subject shall 
be laid before you. 

An unauthorized proceeding by an Officer of the 
United States in regard to the Island of San Juan, 
between Vancouver's Island and the Mainland, 
might have led to a serious collision between My 
Forces and those of the United States. Such col- 
lision, however, has been prevented by the judicious 
forbearance of My Naval and Civil Officers on the 
spot, and by the equitable and conciliatory pro- 
visional urrangement proposed on this matter by the 
Government of the United States. 

I trust that the question of Boundary, out of 
which this affair has arisen, may be amicably settled 
in a manner conformable with the just rights of the 
two Countries, as defined by the First Article of the 
Treaty of 1846. 

The last embers of disturbance in My East Indian 
Dominions have been extinguished; My Viewoy

has made a peaceful progress through the districts 
which had been the principal scene of disorder, and, 
bya judicious combination of firmness and generosity, 

y authority has been everywhere solidly and, | 
trust; permanently established. I have received 
from My Viceroy the most gratifying accounts of 
the loyalty of My Indian subjects, and of the good 
feeling evinced by the Native Chiefs and the great 
Landowners of the Country. The attention of the 
Government in India has Seis directed to the de- 
velopment of the internal resources of the Country ; 
and [ am glad to inform you that an improvement 
has taken place in its financial prospects. 

I have concluded a Treaty with the Tycoon of 
Japan, and a Treaty regarding Boundaries with the 
Republic of Guatemala. I have directed that these 
Treaties shall be laid before you. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I have directed the Estimates for the ensuing year 
to be laid before you. They have been prepared 
with a view to place the Military and Naval Ser- 
vices, and the Silence of the Country, upon an 
efficient footing. 

Iam glad to beable to inform you that the Public 
Revenue is in a satisfactory condition. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


I have accepted, with gratification and pride, the 
extensive offers of Voluntary Service which I have 
received from My Subjects. This manifestation of 
public spirit has added an important element to our 
system of National Defence. 

Measures will be laid before you for amending 
the Laws which regulate the Representation of the 
People in Parliament, and for placing that Repre- 
sentation upon a broader and firmer basis. 

I earnestly recommend you to resume your labours 
for the improvement of our Jurisprudence, and par- 
ticularly in regard to Bankruptcy, the Transfer of 
Land, the Consolidation of the Statutes, and such 
a further fusion of Law and Equity as may be ne- 
cessary to ensure that, in every suit, the rights of 
the parties may be satisfactorily determined by the 
Court in which the suit is commenced. 

I am deeply gratified to observe that the great 
interests of the Country are generally in a sound 
and thriving condition ; that Pauperism and Crime 
have diminished; and that throughout the whole 
of My Empire, both in the United Kingdom and 
in My Colonies and Possessions beyond sea, there 
reigns a spirit of loyalty, of contentment, of order, 
and of obedience to the Law. 

With heartfelt gratitude to the Almighty Ruler 
of Nations for these inestimable blessings, I fer- 
vently pray that His beneficent power may guide 
your Ucliberations for the advancement and conso- 
lidation of the welfare and happiness of My People.

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 convey to Your Majesty our humble 
thanks for Your Majesty’s most gracious Speech 
from the Throne, and to express to Your Majesty 
the gratification with which we learn that Your 
Majesty’s relations with Foreign Powers continue 
to be on a friendly and satisfactory footing: 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for the informa- 
tion which Your Majesty has given us with regard 
to the invitation which Your Majesty has received 
from the Emperor of Austria and from the Emperor 
of the French, to send a Plenipotentiary to assist at 
a Conference of the Great Powers of Europe : 

We beg humbly to express our gratification at 
learning that Your Majesty has accepted the invita- 
tion, while, at the same time, making known that in 
such a Conference Your Majesty would steadfastly 
maintain the principle that no external force should 
be employed to impose upon the People of Italy any 
particular Government or Constitution : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing us 
that, whether in Congress or in separate Negotia- 
tion, Your Majesty :will endeavour to obtain for 
the People of Italy freedom from foreign inter- 
ference by force of arms in their internal concerns ; 
and we trust, with Your Majesty, that the affairs 
of the Jtalian Peninsula may be peacefully and satis- 
factorily settled : 

We thank Your Majesty for commanding that 
Papers on this subject should be laid before us : 

We beg humbly to thank Your Majesty for inform- 
ing us that Your Majesty is in communication with 
the Emperor of tne French, with a view to extend the 
commercial intercourse between the twu Countries, 
and thus to draw still closer the bonds of friendly 
alliance between them : 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that we partake 
in the regret expressed by Your Majesty, that Your 
Majesty's endeavours to prevent a rupture between 
Spain and Morocco have been without success : 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
Your Majesty’s Plenipotentiary and the Plenipo- 

tentiary

tentiary of the Emperor of the French, having, in 
obedience to their instructions, proceeded to the 
mouth of the Petho River, in order to repair to Pekin 
to exchange in that city the ratifications of the 
Treaty of Tien-tsin, in pursuance of the 56th Article 
of that Treaty, their turther progress was opposed 
by force, and that a conflict took place between the 

‘hinese Forts at the mouth of the river and the 
Naval Forces by which the Plenipotentiaries were 
escorted ; and that Your Majesty is preparing, in 
concert and co-operation with the Emperor of the 
French, an expedition intended to obtain redress, 
and a fulfilment of the stipulations of the Treaty of 
Tien-tsin : 

We humbly assure Your Majesty, that we shall 
participate in Your gratification if the prompt ac- 

uiescence of the Emperor of China in the moderate 
deumnde which will be made by the Plenipoten- 
tiaries shall obviate the necessity for the employment 
of force : 

We thank Your Majestv for directing that Papers 
on this subject should be laid before us : 

We assure Your Majesty that we learn with satis- 
faction that a collision, which might have occurred 
between Your Majesty’s Forces and those of the 
United States, arising from an unauthorized pro- 
ceeding by an officer of the United States in regard 
to the Island of San Juan, has been prevented by 
the judicious forbearance of Your Majesty’s Naval 
and Civil Officers on the spot, and by the equitable 
and conciliatory provisional arrangement proposed 
on this matter by the Government of the United 
States ; and we trust, with Your Majesty, that the 
question of Boundary, out of which this affair has 
arisen, may be amicably settled in a manner con- 
formable with the just rights of the two Countries, 
as defined by the First Article of the Treaty of 
1846: 

We beg to express our heartfelt thankfulness in 
learning that the last embers of disturbance in Your 
Majesty’s East Indian Dominions have been extin- 
guished ; that Your Majesty's Viceroy has made a 

eaceful progress through the districts which had 
sa the principal scene of disorder; that, by a 
judicious combination of firmness and generosity, 
Your Majesty’s authority has been everywhere 
solidly established ; and that Your Majesty has re- 
ceived from Your Majesty’s Viceroy the most gratify- 
ing accounts of the loyalty of Your Majesty’s Indian 
subjects, and of the good feeling evinced by the 
Native Chiefs and the great Landowners of the 
Country : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing us 
that the attention of the Government in Jndia has 
been directed to the development of the internal 
resources of the Country, and that an improvement 
has taken place in its financial prospects : 

We beg to express our satisfaction that Your 
Majesty has concluded a Treaty with the Tycoon of 
Japan, and a Treaty regarding Boundaries with the 
Republic of Guatemala: 

We thank Your Majesty for having directed the 
Estimates of the ensuing year to be laid before us, 
and for having caused them to be prepared with a 
view to place the Military and Naval Services and 
the Defences of the Country upon an efficient 
footing : 

We assure Your Majesty that we are glad to 
learn that the Public Revenue is in a satisfactory 
condition : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for graciously 
expressing tu us the feelings with which Your Ma- 
jesty has accepted the extensive offers of Voluntary 
Service which Your Majesty has received from 
Your Subjects : 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
measures will be laid before us for amending the 
Laws which regulate the Representation of the 
People in Parliament, and for placing that Repre- 
sentation upon a broader and firmer basis, and to

most serious attention to Your Majesty’s recom- 
mendation that we should resume our labours for 
the improvement of our Jurisprudence, and par- 
ticularly in regard to Bankruptcy, the Transfer of

further fusion of Law and Equity as may be neces- 
sary to ensure that, in every suit, the rights of the 
parties may be satisfactorily determined by the 
Court in which the suit is commenced : 

We beg humbly to express our gratification in 
learning that the great interests of the Country are 
generally in a sound and thriving condition; that 
Pauperism and Crime have diminished ; and that, 
throughout the whole of Your Majesty’s Empire, 
both in the United Kingdom and in Your Majesty’s 
Colonies and Possessions beyond sea, there reigns 
a spirit of loyalty, of contentment, of order, and of 
obedience to the Law: 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that, in common 
with Your Majesty, we fervently pray that the 
beneficent power of the Almighty Ruler of Nations 
may guide our deliberations for the advancement 
and consolidation of the welfare and happiness of 
Your People.

lutions, which they had directed him to report to the 
House, together with the Minutes of the Evidence

lutions of the Committee were read, as follow: 

1. That the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act 
should be renewed for a period of five years, ani! to 
the end of the then next Session of Parliament, 
subject to the alterations and additions, suggested 
in the subsequent resolutions. 

2. That 








iw 





23 Vicroriz. 


2. That sections 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of that Act, 
which define bribery, treating, and undue influence, 
and which provide for the expunging of the names 
of voters, convicted of bribery, from the Electoral 
Roll, should be continued, but that the penal sum, 
which shall be recoverable against any person 
coming within the provisions of sections 2, 4 and 5, 
should be reduced to 20 1. 

3. That sections 7 and 8, prohibiting the giving 
of cockades and ribbons, and respecting the ap- 
pointment of voters 2s special constables, be con- 
tinued. 

4. That it is inexpedient to continue the restric- 
tion contained in section 9, providing for the reco- 
very of the pecuniary penalties, imposed by the pre- 
vious clauses, in the Superior Courts alone. 

5. That sections 10 and 11, respecting the costs 
of prosecutions for bribery, and the notice of election 
to be given by the returning officer, ought to be 
continued. 

6. That sections 12 and 13, providing for the 
payment of costs by the prosecutor of any indict- 
ment for bribery, are not in conformity with the 
ordinary course of criminal law, and tend to in- 
dispose any person from undertaking the duty of 
prosecuting those guilty of the offeuce of bri- 
bery, the Committee think they should not be con- 
tinued. 

7. That it appears to the Committee, that the 
limitation of time for proceedings for bribery con- 
tained in section 14 of the Act is a reasonable one, 
and should be continued. 

8. That while the evidence before the Com- 
mittee affords no sufficient grounds for believing 
that corrupt practices at elections have in recent 
years increased, yet they are of opinion that the 
sections of the Corrupt Practices Act respecting the 
election auditor, viz. sections 15 to 34 inclusive, 
except sections 16 and 23, have failed to prevent 
or to secure disclosure, or to facilitate detection of 
such corrupt practices, and in some cases have had 
the indirect effect of increasing the difficulty of 
establishing the existence of such corrupt practices, 
before Election Committees; those sections, there- 
fore, should be repealed. 

9. That the publication of election expenses affords 
protection against illegal expenditure to candidates 
and their friends bond fide desirous to avoid it. 

10. That to ensure such publication, it is expe- 
dient that a detailed statement of all election ex- 
penses, with the bills and vouchers, should be fur- 
nished to the returning officer within one month 
after the election, and this statement published by 
him, and that a penalty should be incurred by 
any wilful concealment, or false statement of such 
expenses. 

11. That all such bills and vouchers shall be open 
for the inspection of electors, on payment of a fee 
of 1s., for a period of six months after they have 
been sent in. 

12. That it is expedient to provide that it shall 
not be lawful to make any payment by or on behalf 
of any candidate at an election, on account or in 
respect of such election, otherwise than through an 
agent whose name and address shall be declared in 
writing to the returning officer, and published by 
him at or before the nomination, and that any person 
making any such payment, ctherwise than through 
such agent, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. 

13. That it is expedient that the substance of 
section 16 of the Act, limiting a time for sending in 
the demands upon candidates at an election, should 
be continued. 

14, ‘That to require a declaration from the candi- 
date at an election, and from those returned to Par- 
liament, that they have not paid and will not pay 
any election expenses, except through an election 
auditor, or some other public officer, would alike 
fail, both to secure the disclosure or detection of 
illegal expenditure, and to prevent its being incurred 

Vox, 115, 








22° Maiz. 261 


by those determined to have recourse to corrupt 
practices. 

15. ‘That it is not expedient to provide for the 
appointment of an election auditor empowered to 
tax and settle the amount of all accounts and pecu- 
niary demands upon a candidate on account of an 
election. 

16. That it is expedient that no candidate shall, 
by himself or his agents, directly or indirectly 
employ or retain for any purpose connected with 
the election, a greater number of paid agents, or of 
persons paid or to be paid for any services or pre- 
tended services, than are bond fide requisite for the 
due conduct of the business of the election. 

17. That section 23, making the giving of refresh- 
ments to voters on the nomination or polling days 
an illegal act, should be renewed. 

18. That the remaining sections, 35, 36, and 38, 
being those relating to evidence, and the disqualifi- 
cation of candidates by bribery, and the Interpre- 
tation Clause, be renewed. 

19. With respect to the payment of travelling 
expenses. that the prohibition contained in the first 
section of the 21 &amp; 22 Vic. c. 87, of the payment of 
any money, or of the giving of any valuabie consi- 
deration to a voter for or in respect of his travelling 
expenses, for the purpose of polling at an election 
should be continued. ‘The Committee are of opi- 
nion that it should not be lawful for any person to 
provide conveyance for any voter for the purpose of 
polling at any election for a borough ; but that it is 
expedient to continue the provision of the same 
clause, authorizing the candidate or his agent to 
provide conveyance for any voter for the purpose of 
polling in counties. 

20. That in England, on the application of a cer- 
tain number of electors in a county, it shall be 
lawful for the Queen in Council to alter the number 
of polling-places, and to multiply or alter the polling 
districts; such application to be transmitted through 
the court of quarter sessions, with their opinion or 
observations thereupon; and that the Queen in 
Council, on the like application, be authorized to 
alter from time to time the number and situation of 
the polling-places, in the boroughs of East Retford, 
Shoreham, Cricklade and Aylesbury. 

21. That it is expedient to re-enact the provi- 
sion, contained in the Ist section of the Act 7 &amp; 8 
Geo. 4, c. 37, making incapable of voting those 
employed by any candidate for the purposes of 
the election, for fee or reward; and that it should be 
further made a misdemeanor for such persons to 
give any vote. 

22. That Election Committees shall be required 
to report to the House, the names of all such per- 
sons as they shall find to have been guilty of bribery 
or treating. 

23. That Election Committees shall be required 
to report to the House, whether, in their opinion, 
all or any of such persons should be prosecuted. 

24. That the evidence in any such case shall be 
referred to the Attorney General, with a view to his 
instituting a prosecution against such persons, if 
the evidence should in his opinion be sufficient to 
support a prosecution. 

25. That a similar course shall be taken with 
respect to any person reported by a Commission of 
Inquiry into Corrupt Practices to have been guilty 
of bribery, and not furnished by them with a certi- 
ficate of indemnity. 

26. That it is expedient to simplify the forms of 
proceedings in indictments and informations for 
bribery, and in actions for penalties, by permitting 
a general allegation of the offence, and by making 
the certificate of the returning officer sufficient evi- 
dence of the holding of the election, and of a person 
having been a candidate thereat. 

27. That no witness before an Election Com- 
mittee, or on the trial of any action or indictment 
or information for any offence under the Corrupt 

LL3 _-” ** Practices 


262 


Practices Prevention Act, should be at liberty to 
refuse to answer a question on the ground that his 
answer may tend to criminate himself on a charge 
of bribery, but that the Committee or Court shall 
have power to give a certificate to such witness 
that he has made a true disclosure; and such certi- 
ficate shall be a protection to the witness from all 
proceedings against him for corrupt practices at 
the election in respect of which his testimony has 
been given. 

28. That the offence of treating be extended to 
the providing meat, drink, and entertainment, by a 
candidate or his agent, to persons other than electors, 
with a view to influencing the election; and that 
the votes of persons who shall be found to have 
been paid for furnishing such meat, drink, or enter- 
tainment, shall be liable to be struck off as bad votes, 
on scrutiny. 

29. That it is expedient to permit evidence of 
trea'ing to be given before an Election Committee, 
as in the case of a charge of bribery, without re- 
quiring preliminary proof of agency. 

30. That it is expedient to enact that the votes 
of those who shall be found to have bribed or treated 
voters shall be liable to be struck off as bad votes, 
on a scrutiny. 

31. That the copy made by the shorthand writer 
before an Election Committee of his notes be 
printed from day to day, and copies furnished to 
the agents before Election Committees, for them- 
selves and their counsel, the cost of printing being 
defrayed by them. 

32. That if, after the presentation of a report to 
Parliament by a Commission of Inquiry into Cor- 
rupt Practices at an Election for any county, city 
or borough, that extensive bribery has prevailed in 
such place, the House of Commons shall resolve, 
that no writ ought to be issued foran election of a 
Member or Members for such place for a period 
of five years, no writ shall be issued for an election 
of a Member or Members for such place till the ex- 
piration of five years from the date of such Resolu- 
tion; provided that such = shall not be 
held in any way to affect the right of Parliament 
altogether to disenfranchise such place, or to alter,

ments made by their Lordships to the Adulteration 
of Food or Drink Bill; That they had drawn up 
a Reason accordingly, which they had directed him 
to report to the House:—And the same was read, 
as followeth : 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 2, |. 16, for the following Reason :— 

Because the Amendment being to include the 
City of London, would have the effect of 
creating a charge upon the rates, and the 
Commons trust your Lordships will be con- 
tent with this Reason, and will not insist 
upon the Amendment to which the Commons 
have disagreed. 

But the Commons propose to amend the original 
Bill by leaving out the word “ England” in p. 2, 
1, 16, and inserting the words “ the City of London 
“and the Liberties thereof, the Commissioners of 
“ Sewers of the City of London and the Liberties 
“ thereof, and in all other parts of the Metropolis.” 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p. 5, 1.17, for the same Reason, but propose to 
amend the original Bill by inserting after the word 
|“ borne ” in p. 5, 1. 17, the words “in the City of 
“ London and the Liberties thereof, out of the Con- 
“ solidated Rates raised by the Commissioners of 
“ Sewers of the City of Zondon and the Liberties 
“ thereof, and,” and in the same line, after the words 
“ in the,” by inserting the words “ rest of the.” 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 
agree to the Atmendments to the Bill. 

The said Reason, being read a second time, was 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords to 
communicate the said Reason (with the Bill and 
Amendments): And that the Clerk do carry thesame.

An Estimate of the Amount required to complete Crinan and

tion at South Kensington Museum, in accordance ‘ 
with the Report of the Select Committee of the 
House of Commons of this Session. 

Ordered, That the said Estimates be referred to

Mr. Denman reported from the Committee ap- Felony and 
pointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the Misdemeanor 
Lords for disagreeing to the Amendments made 
by their Lordships to the Felony and Misdemeanor 
Bill; That they had drawn up Reasons accordingly, 
which they had directed him to report to the 
House ; and the same were read, as follow : 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments made 
by the Lords, for the following Reasons: 

Because it would not be in accordance with 
the spirit of the Criminal Law of England, that 
the Judge should have the power of deciding 
whether Counsel in cases of Felony or Misde- 
meanor should have a right to address the Jury 
In any case or not. 

Because the Amendments would lead to 
unseemly conflicts between Judge and Counsel 
in cases of difference of opinion upon the ques- 
tion whether a summing up of evidence ought 
to be allowed to the Counsel or not. 

Because the Amendments would leave the 
rights of persons accused uncertain and de- 
pendent upon the discretion of an individual, 
instead of being certain and defined, as they 
would be by the Bill, without the Amend- 
ments. 

Because different Judges might take different 
views, and decide upon different principles in 
exercising the discretion proposed to be vested ’ 
in them by the Amendments, and the adminis- 
tration of justice would thereby suffer in public 
estimation. 

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 the Clerk do carry the 
same, 


The Debtors and Creditors Act Amendment Bill Debtors and

Mr. Cobbett reported from the Committee ap- 
ointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the 
Saale for disagreeing to certain Amendments made 
by their Lordships to the County Coroners Bill ; 
That they had drawn up Reasons accordingly, which 
they had directed him to report to the House ; and 
the same were read, as follow: 
The Commons disagree to Clause A., for the fol- 
lowing Reasons : 

Because the case is not peculiar to Middle- 
sez, all other Counties having two or more 
Coroners, and few being divided under the 
7th and 8th Victoria, c. 92. The Clause, there- 
fore, ought to extend to all Counties circum- 
stanced as Middlesex is, or it ought not to 
become law. 

Because in Middlesex, as elsewhere, it has 
been the custom for the Coroner to continue to 
act in the district for which he acted from the 
date of his Election ; and it has not been the 
custom for such Coroner to change his district 
upon a vacancy occurring in any other district 
of the County. 

Because there is nothing in the Bill which 
can in any way alter or affect the position or 
jurisdiction of any Coroner already elected. 

Because, therefore, the Clause is partial 
and unnecessary. 

The Commons disagree to Clause B., for the fol- 
lowing Reasons: 

Because the Coroners appointed for Fran- 
chises, Liberties and Manors are the Nominees 
of the Crown, of Corporations, or of private 
persons, in right of their Franchises, Liberties 

Von. 115. 


15°—16° Augusti. 





471 


or Manors (the latter being liable to be bought 
and sold), whereas the Coroners for Counties 
are elected by the Freeholders. 

Because Coroners elected by the Freeholders 
might, under this Clause, in Countics where 
such Franchises, Liberties and Manors exist, 
be deprived partly or wholly of their office; and 
their duties transferred to those Coroners who 
are appointed either by the Crown, or thie 
Corporations, or the Lords exercising the right 
to appoint the Coroners for such Franchises, 
Liberties or Manors, 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 
agree to the Amendments made by your Lordships 
to the Bill. 

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 the Clerk do carry the 
same.

ords for disagreeing to certain of the Amend- 

ments made by their Lordships to the Tramways 
(Ireland) Bill; That they had drawn up Reasons 
accordingly, which they had directed him to re- 
port to the House; and the same were read, as 
follow : 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment made 
by your Lordships in p. 2, 1. 8, for the following 
Reason : 

Because the Commons think it expedient 
that in the case of Railways already existing, 
a question of permitting competition by another 
line of the same nature, and directly between 
the same places, ought still to be reserved for 
the decision of Parliament exclusively. 

The Commons disagree to the whole of the 
Amendments to Schedule B., for the following 
Reason : 

Because that Schedule, fixing the Amount 
of ‘Tolls and Charges to be levied under the 
Act, relates to a matter which the Commons 
have always insisted belongs exclusively to 
their determination. 

And the Commons trust that your Lordships will 
be satisfied with this Reason, and will not insist on 
the Amendments to which the Commons have 
disagreed.

Because the Judge of the Landed Estates

by detailed enactment. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amendment 
in p. 7, 1. 30, by inserting after “ lease” the words 
“ sanctioned by the Chairman,” and by adding after 
“ years” the words “ but when a Judge of the 
“ Landed Estates Court shall be satisfied that it is

“ he shall direct.”

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 11, 1. 16, for the following Reasons: 

Because the landlord has the power of dis- 
senting, and the Chairman will decide according 
to his judgment of what is beneficial to the 
inheritance ; and because it is inexpedient to 
fetter his discretion by detailed enactment. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p: 13, |. 17, for the following Reasons : 

Because the tenant is bound to keep the 

_ improvements in repair, and the landlord has 

power to inspect; and because the powers of 
distress ought not to be given in respect of

The Order of the day being read, for resuming 
the adjourned Debate on the Amendment which, 
upon the 20th day of this instant August, was pro- 
posed to be made to the Question, That the Divorce 
Court Bill be now read a second time, and which 
Amendment was, to leave out the words “ now read 
“a second time,” in order to add the words “ laid 
“ aside,” instead thereof ; 

And the Question being again proposed, That 
the words proposed to be left out stand part of the 
Question :—The House resumed the said adjourned 
Debate. 

And Notice being taken that the Bill, as brought 
from the Lords, contained a Provision that Her 
Majesty’s Proctor shall be entitled to charge certain 
costs as part of the expense of his Office ; and that 
as such expense, by virtue of the Act 20 &amp; 21 Vic. 
c. 85, is to be defrayed out of Monies to be pro- 
vided by Parliament, such Provision was an infringe- 
ment of the Privileges of this House ; 

Mr. Speaker explained, that since 1854 Provisions 
of this character had been admitted in Bills brought 
from the Lords; but as it appeared to him that 
such a practice was vpen to serious objections, 
—that it was liable to misconstruction, and calcu- 
lated to break down the broad line of distinc- 
tion between the duties, attributes, and powers of 
the two Houses,—he had already intimated that 
any such Provisions would hereafter be objected to 
by himself, on behalf of the House, and that he 
should advise the House not to receive them. 

Mr. Speaker further stated, that this Bill had 
been brought from the Lords on the 1st day of May 
last; that the intimation of his opinion had since 
been attended to, and all similar Provisions had been 
omitted by the Lords from Bills sent to this House ;

and that, under these circumstances, the House 
would perhaps not think it necessary to insist upon 
its Privileges in this particular case. 

Then the said proposed Amendment was, with 
leave of the House, withdrawn. 

Another Amendment was proposed to be made to 
the Question, by leaving out the word “ now,” and, 
at the end of the Question, adding the words “ upon

pose to amend the original Bill, by leaving out

“* two days in each week,” for the following Reason : 
Because the period of twenty hours a month 
would not be a sufficient provision to ensure 

the education contemplated by the Bill. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in

My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


We are commanded by Her Majesty to release 
you from further attendance in Parliament, and at 
the same time to convey to you Her Majesty's 
acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with 
which you have applied yourselves to the perform- 
ance of your important duties during the long 
and laborious Session of Parliament now about to 
close. 

Her Majesty commands us to inform you, that 
Her Relations with Foreign Powers are friendly and 
satisfactory, and Her Majesty trusts that there is no 
danger of any interruption of the general Peace of 
Europe. Events of considerable importance are in- 
deed taking place in Italy; but if no Foreign Powers 
interfere therein, and if the Italians are left to settle 
their own Affairs, the tranquillity of other States 
will remain undisturbed. 

The proposed Conferences on the subject of the 
Cession of Savoy and of Nice to France have not 
yet been held ; but Her Majesty confidently trusts 
that in any Negotiations which may take place full 
and adequate arrangements will be made for se- 
curing, in accordance with the spirit and letter of 
the Treaty of Vienna of 1815, the Neutrality and 
Independence of the Swiss Confederation. 

That Neutrality and Independence were an object 
to which all the Powers who were Parties to the 
Treaties of Vienna attached great importance ; and 
they are no less important now than then, for the 
general interests of Europe. 

Her Majesty commands us to assure you, that 
the atrocities which have been committed upon the 
Christian Population in Syria have inspired Her 
Majesty with the deepest grief and indignation. 
Vou. 115, 


28° Auguste. 





509: 


Her Majesty has cheerfully concurred with the 
Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, the 
Prince Regent of Prussia, and the Emperor of 
Russia, in entering into an engagement with the 
Sultan, by which temporary Military Assistance has 
been afforded to the Sultan for the purpose of re- 
establishing order in that part of his Dominions. 

We are commanded by Her Majesty to inform 
you, that Her Majesty greatly regrets that the 
pacific overtures which, by Her Majesty’s direc- 
tions, Her Envoy in China made to the Imperial 
Government at Pekin, did not lead to any satis- 
factory result; and it has therefore been necessary 
that the combined Naval and Military Forces which 
Her Majesty and Her Ally the Emperor of the 
French had sent to the China Seas should advance 
towards the Northern Provinces of China, for the 
purpose of supporting the just demands of the 
Allied Powers. 

Her Majesty, desirous of giving all possible 
weight to Her Diplomatic action in this matter, 
has sent to China, as Special Ambassador for this 
Service, the Earl of Elgin, who negotiated the 
Treaty of Tien-sing, the full and faithful execu- 
tion of which is demanded from the Emperor of 
China. 

Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty commands us to convey to you Her 
warm acknowledgments for the liberal Supplies 
which you have granted for the service of the pre~ 
sent year, and for the provision which you have 
made for those Defences which are essential for the 
security of Her Dockyards and Arsenals, 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Her Majesty commands us to express to you the 
gratification and pride with which She has witnessed 
the rapid progress in Military efficiency which Her 
Volunteer Forces have already made, and which is 
highly honourable to their spirit and patriotism. 

Her Majesty has given Her cordial assent to the 
Act for amalgamating Her Local European Force 
in India with Her Forces engaged for general ser- 
vice. 

Her Majesty trusts that the additional freedom 
which you have given to Commerce will lead to 
fresh development of productive industry. 

Her Majesty has given Her ready assent to se- 
veral Measures of great public usefulness. 

The Acts for regulating the Relations between 
Landlord and Tenant in Jreland will, Her Majesty 
trusts, remove some fertile causes of disagree- 
ment. 

The Act for amending the Law which regulates 
the Discipline of Her Majesty’s Navy has established 
salutary Rules for the Administration of Justice by 
Courts Martial, and for maintaining good order in 
the Naval Service. 

The Act bearing upon Endowed Charities will 
give means for a less expensive Administration of 
the Property of Charities, and for the speedy and 
economical settlement of disputes affecting such 
Property ; while by another Act relief has been af- 
forded to Her Majesty’s Roman Catholic Subjects 
with regard to their Charitable Endowments. 

Several other Acts have been passed for Legal 
Reform, which must lead to the more satisfactory 
Administration of Justice. 

Her Majesty has observed with deep satisfaction 
the spirit of loyalty, of order, and of obedience to 
the Law, which prevails among Her subjects both. 
in the United Kingdom and in Her Dominions 
beyond Sea ; and Her Majesty has witnessed with 
heartfelt pleasure the warm and affectionate recep- 
tion given to His Royal Highness the Prince of 
Wales by Her North American Subjects. 

You will on returning to your several Counties 
have duties to perform scarcely less important than 
those which have occupied you during the eee

of Parliament; and Her Majesty fervently prays 
that the Blessing of Almighty God may attend your 
efforts, and guide them to the attainment of the 
objects of Her constant solicitude, the welfare and 
the happiness of Her People. 


Then a Commission for proroguing the Parlia- 
ment was read. 


After which the Lord Chancellor said ; 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


By virtue of Her Majesty’s Commission, under 
the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, and | 
now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and in;

ment to Tuesday the 6th day of November next, to 
be then here holden ; and this Parliament is accord- 
ingly prorogued to Tuesday the 6th day of Novem- 
ber next.
