Mr. ~ 5 
reports Her 
Majesty's 
Speech. 





6 5° Februari. 


Mr. Speaker reported, That the House had, this 
day, attended Her Majesty in the House of Peers, 
when Her Majesty was pleased to make a most 
gracious Speech fiom 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, 


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

My relations with Foreign Powers continue to be 
friendly and satisfactory; and I trust that the 
moderation of the Powers of Europe will prevent 
any interruption of the general Peace. 

Events of great importance are taking place in 
Italy. Believing that tie Italians ought to be left 
to settle their own affairs, I have not thought it right 
to exercise any active interference in those matters, 
Papers on this subject will be laid before you. 

I announced to you, at the close of the last 
Session of Parliament, that the atrocities which had 
then receiitly been committed in Syria had induced 
Me to concur 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 tem- 
porary military assistance was to be afforded to the 
Sultan, for the purpose of establishing order in that 
part of his dominions. 

‘That assistance has been afforded by a body of 
French troops, who have been sent to Syria as re- 
presenting the Allied Powers. The Sultan has also 
p'aced a considerable military force in Syria under 
the direction of an able officer; and I trust that 
tranquillity will soon be re-established in that pro- 
vince, and that the objects of the Convention will 
have been fully atiained. 

I announced to you also, at the close of the last Ses- 
sion of Parliament, that the pacific overtures which 
My Envoy in China had made to the Imperial 
Government at Pekin having led to no satisfactory 
result, My Naval and Military Forces, and those 
of My Ally the Emperor of the French, were to ad- 
vance towards the Northern Provinces of China, for 
the purpose of supporting the just demands of the 
Allied Powers, and that the Earl of Elgin had been 
sent to China as Special Ambassador to treat with 
the Chinese Government. 

I am glad to inform you that the operations of 
the Allied Forces have been attended with com- 

lete success. After the capture of the Forts at the 
Mouth of the Peiho, and several engagements with 
the Chinese army, the Allied Forces became masters 
of the Imperial City of Pekin; and the Earl of 
Elgin and Baron Gros, the Ambassador of the Em- 

eror of the French, were enabled to obtain an 
secaalioe Pe and satisfactory settlement of all the 
matters in dispute. 

Throughout these operations, and the negotiations 
which followed them, the Commanders and Am- 
b:s&lt;adors of the Allied Powers acted with the most 
friendly concert. Papers on this subject will be 
laid before you. 

The state of My Indian Territories is progressively 
improving, and I trust that their financial condition 
will gradually partake of the general amendment. 

An insurrection of a portion of the natives of New 
Zealand has interrupted the peace of a part of that 
Colony ; but I hope that the measures which have 
been taken will speedily suppress these disturbances, 
and enable My Government to concert such arrange- 
ments as may prevent their recurrence. 

Serious Ginn have arisen among the States 
of the North American Union. It is impossible for 
Me not to look with great concern upon any events 
which can affect the happiness and welfare of a 
people nearly allied to My Subjects by descent, and 
closely connected with them by the most intimate 

















A. 1861. 


and friendly relations. My heartfelt wish is that 
these differences may be susceptible of a satisfactory 
adjustment. 

The interest which I take in the well-being of the 
people of the United States cannot but be increased 
by the kind and cordial reception given by them to 
the Prince of Wales during his recent visit to the 
Continent of America. 

I am glad to take this opportunity of expressing 
My warm appreciation of the loyalty and attach- 
ment to My Person and Throne manifested by My 
Canadian and other North American Subjects on 
the occasion of the residence of the Prince of Wales 
among them. 

[ have concluded with the Emperor of the French 
Conventions supplementary to the Treaty of Com- 
merce of 23d of January 1860, and in furtherance 
of the objects of that Treaty. 

I have also concluded with the King of Sardinia 
a ccm for the reciprocal protection of Copy- 
right. 

These Conventions will 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 framed 
with a due regard to economy and t» the efficiency 
of the several Branches of the Public Service. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Measures will be laid before you for the consoli- 
dation of important parts of the Criminal Law; for 
the improvement of the Law of Bankruptcy and 
Insolvency ; for rendering more easy the Transfer of 
Land ; for establishing a uniform system of Rating 
in England and Wales ; and for several other pur- 
poses of public usefulness. 

I confidently commit the great interes's of My 
Empire to your wisdom and care; and I fervently 
pray that the blessing of the Almighty may attend 
your Councils, and may guide your deliberations to 
the attainment of the object of My ec nstant solici- 
tude—the welfare and happiness of My People. 


A Motion was made, and the Question being pro- Motion for

wish that these differences may be susceptible of a 
satisfactory adjustment, and in the sentiment which

ciation of the loyalty and attachment to Your Ma-

And the numbers being equal, Mr. Speaker stated, 
that if the equality of voices had arisen on an earlier 
stage of the Bill, he should have had no difficulty in 
the course he should pursue, because, guided by a 
rule which had been established by many able men 
who had preceded him in that Chair, he should have 
desired so to vote as to give the House another op- 
portunity of deciding the Question for itself, rather 
than to have taken the decision into his own hands ; 
but they had now reached the third reading of the 
Bill, and he found that the House hesitated, and was 
unable to decide whether the Law should stand, or 
should be changed. As faras he was able to collect 
the opinion of the House from the course of the De- 
bate, it appeared to him that a prevailing opinion 
existed in favour of a settlement of the Question dif- 
ferent, in some degree, from that which was contained 
in the Bill; andhe thought he should best discharge 
his duty by leaving to the future and deliberate judg- 
ment of the House to decide what change in the Law 
should be made (if it should be their pleasure to 
make a change), rather than by taking the responsi- 
bility of the change on his single vote; he there- 
fore declared himself with the Noes. 

So it passed in the Negative. 

And the Question being put, That the words 
“ upon this day three months” be added at the end 
of the Question :—It was resolved in the Affirmative. 

Then the Main Question, so amended, being put ;

Mr. Attorney General reported from the Com- 


to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of the 
Amendments made by their Lordships to the Bank- 
ruptcy and Insolvency 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: 

I. The Commons disagree to such parts of the 
Lords’ Amendments in the Preamble, and in 
Clauses 2, 3, 4, 18, 14, 22, 23, 37, 39, 43, 52, 56, 
57, 59, 60, 61, 63, 67, 68, 71, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 
99, 111, 112, 129, 164, 178, 202, 212, 213, 230, 
243 and 246, and in the Schedule of repealed parts 
of Statutes, as relate to the subject of a Chief Judge 
in Bankruptcy, and matters consequential thereon, 
and also to Clause A. introduced by the Lords, for 
the following Reasons : 

1. Because the appointment of a Chief Judge 
of high attainments and authority, who may 
he able to exercise original jurisdiction in im- 
portant questions of law and discretion, as the 
head of the Court in London, and at the same 
time to superintend, as Judge of Appeals, the 
separate action both of the London Commis- 
sioners and of all the country jurisdictions, 
is calculated to secure efficiency and consis- 
tency in the future administration of the Bank- 
rupt Law, and to facilitate the safe and suc- 
cessful operation of the changes introduced by 
this Bill. 

2. Because the satisfactory working of many 
of the most useful and necessary powers given 
to the Court of Bankruptcy by the Bill is 
likely to depend, in a very great degree, upon 
the existence and efficiency of such a central 
and controlling authority. 

3. Because the Lords’ Amendments tend 
to perpetuate the system of Comunissioners, 
which has not been found to work well, and 
which it is a principal object of this Bill to su- 
persede gradually, by means of the establish- 
ment of the Chief Judge. 

4. Because a great increase of business in 
Bankruptcy ought to be anticipated from the 
union of Insolvency and Bankruptcy; from 


93° Jultz. 








A. 1861. 


the abolition of the distinction between traders 
and non-traders; and fiom those provisions of 
the Bill which bring all the numerous ques- 
tions arising under deeds of assignment, 
composition and arrangement within the juris- 
diction of the Bankruptcy Court; and it can- 
not be expected either that all this business 
will be satisfactorily conducted by a large 
number of independent Judges in London and 
in the country without any efficient central 
supervision, or that the Court of Appeal in 
Chancery will be able, without much public 
inconvenience, to dispose of the large increase 
of appeals, which must naturally arise out of 
this altered state of things. 

II. The Commons disagree to such parts of the 
Lords’ Amendments in Clauses 21, 117, 118, 122, 
123, 124, 125, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 133, 134, 
135, 136, 145, 150, 153, 180, 181, 182, 185, 186, 
188, 189, 190 and 205, and in the Schedule of 
repealed parts of Statutes, as relate to the subject 
of official and creditors’ assignees, for the following 
Reasons : 

1. Because the general wishes of the mer- 
cantile community have been decidedly ex- 
pressed in favour of placing the receipt and 
management of the property and assets of 
Bankrupts in the hands of assignees chosen by 
the creditors; and the tendency, which has 
been for many years increasing, to substitute 
private deeds of arrangement for the adminis- 
tration in Bankruptcy, furnishes cogent evi- 
dence that the existing system requires altera- 
tion in this respect. 

2. Because the system of accounts and audit, 
and the provisions for the payment of balances, 
contained in Clauses 133 to 136, both inclu- 
sive, of the Bill, wili be sufficient to guard 
effectually against any danger of the recur- 
rence of those abuses, which in former times 
arose out of the system of creditors’ assignees, 
when established without any adequate check 
or control. 

III. The Commons disagree to such parts of the 
Lords’ Amendments to Clauses 29 and 246, as re- 
late to winding-up business in insolvency, because 
they deem it inexpedient that unfinished matters in 
insolvency should be transferred to the Court of 
Appeal in Chancery. 

1V. The Commons disagree to the Lords’ Amend- 
ments, striking out Clauses 69 and 70, because they 
deem it important that the employment and remu- 
neration of shorthand writers in proper cases, 
should be within the power and under the control 
of the Court. 

V. The Commons disagree to that part of 
Clause B., added by the Lords to the Bill, which 
provides that no debtor, being a trader, shall peti- 
tion for adjudication against himself, unless he 
make it appear that his available estate is sufficient 
to produce the sum of 150 /.; and to those Amend- 
ments of the Lords to the Schedule of repealed 
parts of Statutes which relate to the same subject ; 
because, although small traders, whose assets are 
under 150 /., cannot become Bankrupts by the exist- 
ing law, they may, and constantly do, take the 
benefit of the Protection and Insolvent Acts; and, 
as the distinction between Bankruptcy and Insol- 
vency is now to be abolished, it does not appear to 
the Commons to be reasonable that such small 
traders should be unable to have the benefit of the 
Bankrupt law except by going to prisoa, and being 
afterwards discharged as pauper prisoners. 

VI. The Commons have agreed to the Amend- 
ment introduced by the Lords at the end of Clause 
100, which provides, that the debt of the petitioning 
creditor must be a debt contracted after the passing 
of the Act, subject, however, to a further Amend- 
ment therein, to which they hope the Lords will 
agree ; the object of which is to prevent the in 

men

ment of the Lords from applying to the case ofa 
debtor lying in prison for a debt contracted before 
the passing of the Act, whose creditors would have 
been entitled to obtain a vesting order in insolvency 
against him, under the law as it stood before the 
passing of the Act. 


VIL. The Commons disagree to the Lords’ Amend- 
ment at the end of Clause 105, which takes away 
(as they think unadvisedly) the power of petitioners 
for adjudication to file their petitions in County 
Courts, when there is in the same place a District 
Court of Bankruptcy, or a periodical Session of the 


Court of Bankruptcy. 


VIII. The Commons disagree to so much of the 
Lords’ Amendments to Clause 107, as substitutes 
Seven for Three days as the time, after which 
another creditor may be substituted for a petitioning 
creditor who does not duly prosecute his petition ; 
the period of Three days is fixed by the existing 
law, and has been found to work well; and it is 
apprehended that a longer delay might facilitate 
collusive arrangements between the debtor and the 


petitioning creditor. 


IX. The Commons disagree to the Lords’ Amend- 


ment, striking out Clause 119, because they think 
it expedient that a sufficient majority of the cre- 
ditors (which they now propose by a further Amend- 
ment to make a majority in number, representing 
three-fourths in value of the creditors present at 
such adjourned meeting as mentioned in the Clause) 
should have the power of suspending the proceed- 
ings in Bankruptcy, and substituting a different 
manner of winding up the estate. 

X. The Commons disagree to Clause H. added 
by the Lords, because its object, so far as desirable, 
is sufficiently provided for by the Lords’ Amend- 
ment at the end of Clause 100, as modified by the 
Commons. 

XI. The Commons disagree to Clauses I. and K. 
added by the Lords, because they see no good 
reason why a bankrupt, who is not a trader, should 


be allowed to have any veto upon the conversion of 


his own reversionary estate tail into a base fee for 
the benefit of his creditors. 


XII. The Commons disagree to those parts of 


the Lords’ Amendment to Clause 164, which relate 
to a non-trader whose insolvency may be attributable 
to rash and hazardous speculation, or unjustifiable 
extravagance in living; because they see no suffi- 
cient reason for making a distinction between the 
case of a trader and that of a non-trader in this 
respect. 

The Reasons for the Commons disagreeing to 
other parts of the Lords’ Amendments to the 164th 
Clause, have been already stated with reference to 
the appointment of a Chief Judge in Bankruptcy. 

The Commons have added a proviso at the end 
of the 164th Clause, to which they hope the Lords 
will agree, for the purpose of preventing the appli- 
cation of the penal provisions of the Bill to any 
matters which may have occurred before the passing 
of the Act. 

XIII. The Commons have agreed to the Lords’ 
Amendments to Clause 178, subject to a further 
verbal Amendment, which appeared to them ne- 
cessary to give full effect to the Lords’ Amendments 
(viz. the introduction of the words “ or refused ” 
after the words “ if the order of discharge has been 
“ made”); and also to the restoration of the words 
relative to the Chief Judge. 

XIV. The Commons have disagreed to part of 
the Lords’ Amendments to Clause 200; they have 
amended the first condition expressed in that 
Clause, by making it depend on the assent of a 
majority in number, representing three-fourths in 
value, of the creditors, because they consider, that 
to require the assent of three-fourths in number 
would often be attended with great practical incon- 
venience; they have restored the last condition to 
its original form, because they consider that it ought

387 


to relate to the particular deed or instrument men- 
tioned in the governing part of the Clause, and not 
to “any deed or instrument by which any property 


XV. The Commons have agreed to Clause M., 
substituted by the Lords for Clause 208, subject to 
an Amendment, by which they have made the con- 
sent of a majority in number, representing three- 
fourths in value, of the ascertained creditors of the 
debtor sufficient, instead of requiring the consent 
of three-fourths in number be value ; they hope 
the Lords will concur in this Amendment, which 
they think desirable, in order to avoid the practical 
inconvenience of requiring the consent of three- 
fourths in number of the creditors, to many of whom 
very small amounts may be due. 

XVI. In Clause 241, and some other Clauses, 
the Commons have disagreed from verbal Amend- 
ments of the Lords, for the sake of greater precision 
and clearness of language ; and they have Daagresd 
to the repeal in the Schedule of some Clauses of 
the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, which did 
not appear to them to be necessarily involved in the 
present measure. 

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.

Ordered, That the Select Committee on the Pa-

Mr. Villiers reported from the said Committee ; 
That they had agreed to the following Special 
Report : 

Your Committee proceeded to consider the Bill 
referred tothem, and they agreed to the following 
Resolution: 

“That the revision of the assessment of each 
Parish in a Poor Law Union be vested in a Com- 
mittee, consisting partly of elected and partly of ex 
officio Guardians of the Union, elected by the entire 
Board of Guardians.” 

The effect of this Resolution was to alter the 
character of the machinery proposed by the Bill 
for preparing and revising the Parochial Assess- 
ments; it became necessary therefore that the Bill 
should undergo extensive alterations before it could 
be considered by the Committee. The Bill, modi- 
fied in conformity with the preceding Resolution, 
has been circulated to your Committee; but the 
advanced period of the Session has not permitted 
them to examine its Clauses in detail. 

Your Committee therefore recommend that if a 
Bill similar to the Bill now before them should be 
introduced into the House next Session, and should 
be read a second time, it should be referred to a 
Select Committee for consideration. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table ; 
and be printed. 


Mr. Villiers reported from the Select Committee 
on the Parochial Assessments Bill ; That they had 
gone through the Bill, and disagreed to the same.

And afterwards, a Speech of the Lords Commis- 
sioners was delivered to both Houses by the Lord 
High Chancellor, as followeth : 


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 ac- 
knowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with which 
you have applied yourselves to the performance of 
one duties during the Session of Parliament now 

rought to a 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 disturbance of the Peace of 
Europe. 

The progress of events in Jtaly has led to the 
union of the greater part of that Pevinsula in one 
Monarchy under King Victor Emmanuel, Her 
Maiesty has, throughout, abstained from any active 
interference in the transactions which have led to 
this result, and Her earnest wish as to these affairs 
is, that they may be settled in the manner best 
suited to the welfare aud happiness of tlie Italian 
People. 

The dissensions which arose, some months ago, 
in the United States of North America, have, un- 
fortunately, assumed the character of open war. 
Her Majesty, deeply lamenting this calamitous 
result, has determined, in common with the other 
Powers of Europe, to preserve a strict neutrality 
between the contending parties, 

Her Majesty commands us to inform you, that 
the measures adopted for the restoration of order 
and tranquillity in Syria, in virtue of Conventions 
between Her Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, the 
Empercr of the French, the King of Prussia, the 
imperor of Russia, and the Sultan, having accom- 
plished their purpose, the European Troops which, 
in pursuance of those Conventions, were for a time 
stationed in Syria to co-operate with the Troops 
and Authorities of the Sultan, have been withdrawn ; 
and Her Majesty trusts that the arrangements which 
have been wade for the administration of the dis- 
tricts which had been disturbed, will henceforth 
secure their internal tranquillity. 

Her Majesty has seen with satisfaction the rapid 
improvement in the internal condition of Her Eas¢ 
Indian Territories, and the progress which hax been 
made towards equalizing the Revenue and Expen- 
diture of that part of Her Empire. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty commands us to convey to you Her 
warne acknowledgments for the liberal Supplies 
which you have granted for the service of the pre- 
sent year; and Her Majesty has seen with satis- 
faction that, after amply providing for the wants 


of the Public Service, you have been able to make. 
A 








A. 1861. 


a sensible diminution in the Taxes levied upon Her 
People. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Her Majesty commands us to express to you the 
deep gratification with which She has witnessed the 
spirit of devoted Patriotism which continues to 
animate Her Volunteer Forces; and the admiration 
with which She has observed their rapid progress in 
Discipline and Military efficiency. 

Her Majesty has given Her cordial assent to the 
Act for completing the number of the Members of 
the House of Commons by allotting the forfeited 
Seats of Sudbury and Saint Alban’s. 

Her Majesty trusts that the Act for improving 
the Laws relating to Bankruptcy and Insolvency 
will be productive of important advantage to the 
Trade and Commerce of Her Subjects. 

Her Majesty has given Her ready assent to Acts 
for consolidating and assimilating the Criminal Law 
of England and Ireland, and for promoting the 
revision of the Statute Law. 

Her Majesty has given Her assent to important 
Acts which She trusts will have the effect of open- 
ing more largely employment in the Public Service 
to the European and Native Inhabitants of Jndia, of 
improving the means of Legislation, of furthering 
the ends of justice, and of promoting the content- 
ment and well-being of all classes of Her Majesty’s 
Indian Subjects. 

Her Majesty has assented with pleasure to the 
Act for the Improvement of Harbours on the Coast 
of the United Kingdom, and for relieving Merchant 
Shipping from Passing Tolls, and also to the Act 
for improving the Administration of the Law re- 
lating to the Relief and the Removal of the Poor. 

Her Majesty trusts that the Act for rendering 
more easy arrangements connected with the Drain- 
age of Land will assist agricultural improvements in 
many parts of the United Kingdom. 

Her Majesty has gladly given Her assent to 
many other measures of public usefulness, the 
results of your labours during the Session now 
brought to its close. 

Her Majesty has observed, with heartfelt satisfac- 
tion, the spirit of loyalty, of order, and of obedience 
to the Law, which prevails throughout all Her Do- 
minions, and She trusts that by wise Legislation, 
and a just administration of the Law, the continuance 
of this happy state of things will be secured. 

On returning to your respective Counties, you 
will still have important Public Duties to perform ; 
and Her Majesty fervently prays that the blessing 
of Almighty God may attend your exertions, and 
may guide them to the attainment of the objects 
of Her Majesty’s constant solicitude—the welfare 
and 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 Parliament 


the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, and P 
now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and in 
obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this Parlia- 
ment to Tuesday the 22d day of October next, to 
be then here holden; and this Parliament is ac- 
cordingly prorogued to Tuesday the 22d day of 
October next.
