My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


We are commanded by Her Majesty to assure 
you that Her Majesty is persuaded that you will 
deeply participate in the affliction by which Her 
Majesty has been overwhelmed, by the calamitous, 
untimely, and irreparable loss of Her beloved Con- 
sort, who has been Her comfort and support. 

It has been, however, soothing to Her Majesty, 
while suffering most acutely under this awful dis- 
p2nsation of Providence, to receive from all classes 
of Her Subjects the most cordial assurances of their 
sympathy with Her sorrow, as well as of their ap- 
preciation of the noble character of him, the great- 
ness of whose loss to Her Majesty and to the 
Nation is so justly and so universally felt and 
lamented. 

We are commanded by Her Majesty to assure 
you that She recurs with confidence to your assist- 
ance and advice, 

Her Majesty's relations with all the European 
Powers continue to be friendly and satisfactory, 
and Her Majesty trusts there is no reason to appre- 
hend any disturbance of the peace of Europe.

A. 1862. 


A question of great importance, and which might 
have led to very serious consequences, arose between 
Her Majesty and the Government of the United 
States of North America, owing to the seizure and 
forcible removal of four Passengers from on board 
a British Mail Packet by the Commander of a ship 
of war of the United States; but that question has 
been satisfactorily settled by the restoration of the 
Passengers to British protection, and by the dis- 
avowal by the United States’ Government of the 
act of violence committed by their Naval Officer. 

The friendly relations between Her Majesty and 
the President of the United States have, therefore, 
remained unimpaired. 

Her Majesty — appreciates the loyalty and 
patriotic spirit which have been manifested on this 
occasion by Her North American Subjects. 

The wrongs committed by various parties and by 
successive Governments in Mexico upon Foreigners 
resident within the Mezican territory, and for which 
no satisfactory redress could be obtained, have led 
to the conclusion of a Convention between Her 
Majesty, the Emperor of the French, and the 
Queen of Spain, for the purpose of regulating a com- 
bined operation on the Eoast of Mexico, with a view 
to obtain that redress which has hitherto been with- 
held. 

That Convention and Papers relating to that 
subject will be laid before you. 

The improvement which has taken place in the 
relations between Her Majesty’s Government and 
that of the Emperor of China, and the good faith 
with which the Chinese Government have continued 
to fulfil the engagements of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, 
have enabled Her Majesty to withdraw Her troops 
from the city of Canton, and to reduce the amount 
of Her force on the coast and in the seas of China. 

Her Majesty, always anxious to exert Her in- 
fluence for the preservation of peace, has concluded 
a Convention with the Sultan of Morocco, by means 
of which the Sultan has been enabled to raise the 
amount necessary for the fulfilment of certain 
Treaty engagements which he had contracted to- 
wards Spain, and thus to avoid the risk of a renewal 
of hostilities with that Power. That Convention, 
and Papers connected with it, will be laid before you. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
She has directed the Estimates for the ensuing year 
to be laid before you. They have been framed with 
a due regard to prudent economy and to the effi- 
ciency of the Public Service. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
measures for the improvement of the Law will be 
laid before you, and among them will be a Bill for 
rendering the Title to Land more simple, and its 
transfer more easy. 

Other measures of public usefulness relating to 
Great Britain and to Ireland will be submitted for 
your consideration. 

Her Majesty regrets that in some parts of the 
United Kingdom, and in certain branches of indus~ 
try, temporary causes have fg considerable 
pressure and privation; but Her Majesty has reason 
to believe that the general condition of the Country 
is sound and satisfactory. 

Her Majesty confidently recommends the general 
interests of the Nation to your wisdom and your 
care; and She'fervently prays that the blessing of 
Almighty God may attend your deliberations, and 
may guide them to the promotion of the welfare 
and happiness of Her People. 


Resolved, That an humble Address be presented Resolution 
to Her Majesty, to thank Her Majesty for the for Address. 
most -gracious Speech delivered by Her Command 
to both Houses of Parliament : 

To 











25 Vicrorisz. 


To take this first opportunity of offering to Her 
Majesty our sincere condolence on the afflicting 
dispensation of Providence with which Her Ma- 
jesty and this Nation have been visited in the death 
of His Royal Highness the Prince Consort : 

To assure Her Majesty of our heartfelt partici- 
— in the universal feeling of sympathy with Her 

ajesty under this calamitous bereavement, and in 
the deep sense entertained by all classes of Her 
Majesty’s Subjects of the irreparable loss which the 
Country has sustained in a Srlnee whose tender 
attachment to Her Majesty, whose eminent virtues, 
and whose high attainments, unceasingly devoted 
to the interests of this Country, won for him 
general love and admiration, and will cause his 
name’ to be held in grateful and affectionate re- 
membrance : 

To assure Her Majesty that it is our earnest 
re that Her Majesty’s health, in which Her 

aithful People take so lively an interest, will not 
be impaired by overwhelming grief, and that this 
Kingdom will long continue to enjoy the blessings 
of a reign with which its happiness and welfare 
are so intimately associated : 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing us 
that Her relations with all European Powers con- 
tinue to be friendly and satisfactory, and to assure 
Her Majesty that, with Her, we trust that there is 
no reason to apprehend any disturbance of the 
peace of Europe: 

To express to Her Majesty the deep gratification 
with which we learn that a question of great im- 
portance, and which might have led to very serious 
consequences, arising from the seizure and forcible 
removal of four Passengers from on board a British 
Mail Packet by the Commander of a ship of war 
of the United States, has been satisfactorily settled 
by the restoration of the Passengers to British pro- 
tection, and by the disavowal by the United States’ 
Government of the act of violence committed by 
their naval officer; and that the friendly relations 
between Her Majesty and the President of the 
United States have therefore remained unim- 
paired : 

To assure Her Majesty that we have heard with 
much satisfaction of the loyalty and patriotic spirit 
manifested on this occasion by om North American 
Subjects: 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for commanding 
that the Convention between Her Majesty, the 
Emperor of the French, and the Queen of Spain, 
for the purpose of regulating a combined operation 
on the oast of Mexico, with a view to obtain that 
redress which has hitherto been withheld for the 
wrongs committed by various parties and succes- 
sive Dessamnaat in Mexico upon foreigners resi- 
dent in the Mezican territory, should be laid before 
us : 
To express our satisfaction that the improvement 
which has taken place in the relations between Her 
Majesty’s Government and that of the Emperor of 
China, and the good faith with which the Chinese 
Government have continued to fulfil the engage- 
ments of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, have enabled 
Her Majesty to withdraw Her Troops from the 
city of Canton, and to reduce the amount of Her 
force on the coast and in the seas of China: 

To thank Her Majesty for informing us that a 
Convention has been concluded with the Sultan of 
Morocco, by means of which the Sultan has been 
enabled to raise the amount necessary for the ful- 
filment of certain Treaty engagements with Spain, 
and thus to avoid the risk of a renewal of hostilities 
with that Power; and for commanding that Con- 
vention, and Papers connected with it, to be laid 
before us: 

To thank Her Majesty for having directed the 
Estimates for the ensuing year ‘obs laid before 


us: 
To assure Her Majesty that we will give our

most serious attention to the measures for the im- 
rovement of the Law, especially as concerns the 
itle and Transfer of Land, as well as to other 

measures of public usefulness which may be sub- 

mitted for our consideration : 

To convey to Her Majesty the assurance that 
we participate in Her regret that in some parts of 
the United Kingdom, and in certain branches of 
industry, temporary causes should have produced 
considerable pressure and privation; but, at the 
same time, to express to Her Majesty the gratifi- 
cation with which we learn that Her Majesty has 
reason to believe that the general condition of the 
Country is sound and onlaseny : 

Humbly to assure Her Majesty that, in common 
with Her Majesty, we fervently pray that the 
blessing of Almighty God may attend our delibera- 
tions, and may guide them to the promotion of the 
welfare and happiness of Her 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 assem- 
bled, beg leave to convey to Your Majesty our 
thanks for the gracious Speech which Your Ma- 
{esty has commanded to be made to both Houses of 

*arliament : 

We take this first opportunity of offering to Your 
Majesty our sincere condolence on the afflicting 
dispensation of Providence with which Your Ma- 
jesty and this Nation have been visited in the death 
of His Royal Highness the Prince Consort : 

We assure Your Majesty of our heartfelt parti- 
cipation in the universal feeling of sympathy with 
Your Majesty under this calamitous bereavement, 
and in the deep sense entertained by all classes of 
Your Majesty’s Subjects of the irreparable loss 
which the Country has sustained in a Prince whose 
tender attachment to Your Majesty, whose emi- 
nent virtues, and whose high attainments, unceas- 
ingly devoted to the interests of this Country, won 
for him general love and admiration, and will cause 
his name to be held in grateful and affectionate 
remembrance : 

We assure Your Majesty that it is our earnest 
prayer that Your Majesty’s health, in which Your 
faithful People take so lively an interest, will not 
be impaired by overwhelming grief, and that this 
Kingdom will long continue to enjoy the blessings 
of a reign with which its happiness and welfare are 
s0 intimately associated : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that Your relations with all European Powers

enabled to raise the amount necessary for the ful- 
filment of certain Treaty engagements with Spai 
and thus to avoid the risk of a renewal of hostilities 
with that Power; and for commanding that Con- 
vention, and Papers connected with it, to be laid 
before us: 

We thank Your Majesty for having directed the 
Estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before us: 

We assure Your Majesty that we will give our 
most serious attention to the measures for the im- 
eee of the Law, especially as concerns the 

itle and Transfer of Land, as well as to other 
measures of public usefulness which may be sub- 
mitted for our consideration : 

We beg to convey to Your Majesty the assur- 
ance that we participate in Your regret that in 
some parts of the United Kingdom, and in certain 
branches of industry, temporary causes should have 
produced considerable pressure and privation; but, 
at the same time, to express to Your Majesty the 
gratification with which we learn that Your Ma- 
jesty has reason to believe that the general condi- 
tion of the Country is sound and satisfactory : 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that, in com- 
mon with Your Majesty, we fervently pray that the 
blessing of Almighty God may attend our delibera- 
tions, and may guide them to the promotion of the 
welfare and happiness of Your People. 

The said Address being read a second time ; 

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

Ordered, That the said Address be presented

the peace of Europe: 

We beg to express to Your Majesty the deep

missioners to both Houses of Parliament be taken ™#sioners’

Ordered, That leave be given to bring in a Bill Highways. 











gratification with which we learn that a question of 
great importance, and which might have led to 
very serious consequences, arising from the seizure 
and forcible removal of four Passengers from on 
board a British Mail Packet by the Commander of 
a ship of war of the United States, has been satis- 
factorily settled by the restoration of the Passengers 
to British protection, and by the disavowal by the 
United States’ Government of the act of violence 
committed by their Naval Officer; and that the 
friendly relations between Your Majesty and the 
President of the United States have therefore 
remained unimpaired : 

We assure Your Majesty that we have heard 
with much satisfaction of the loyalty and patriotic 
spirit manifested on this occasion by Your North 
American Subjects : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for command- 
ing that the Convention between Your Majesty, 
the Emperor of the French, and the Queen of Spain, 
for the purpose of regulating a combined operation 
on the Seats of Mexico, with a view to obtain that 
redress which has hitherto been withheld for the 
wrongs committed by various parties and successive 
Governments in Mexico upon foreigners resident 
in the Mexican territory, should be laid before us: 

We beg to express our satisfaction that the im- 

rovement which has taken place in the relations 
paneas Your Majesty’s Government and that of 


the Emperor of China, and the good faith with which 
the Chinese Government have continued to fulfil 


the en ments of the Treaty of 7ien-tsin, have 
enabled Your Majesty to withdraw Your Troops 
from the city of Canton, and to reduce the amount 
_of Your Force on the coast and in the seas of China : 
We thank Your Majesty for informing us that a 
Convention has been pare. rw with the Sultan of 
Morocco, by means of which the Sultan has been 





for the better management of Highways in Eng-

do prepare, and bring it in.

The House, according to Order, resolved itself Education. 


into a Committee on Education. 
(In the Committee.) 


Motion made, and Question proposed, That, 
where it is proposed to give Government aid to 
Elementary Schools, it is inexpedient that the whole 
Amount of such aid should depend on the individual 
examination of each Child in Reading, Writing and 
Arithmetic :—Motion, by leave, withdrawn. 

Motion made, and Question put, That to require 
the employment of Certificated Masters by Ma- 
nagers of Schools as an indispensable condition of 
their participation in the Parliamentary Grant, is 


inexpedient, and inconsistent with the principle of 
payment for Results which forms the basis of the 
Revised Code;

prevent an unnecessary and undue expenditure of 
Public Money, it is expedient that the Managers 
of a School, before receiving Capitation Money 
from the Committee of Privy Council on Educa- 
tion, should satisfy the Inspector that the cireum- 
stances of the Parenis on behalf of whose Children 


| such Capitation Grant is claimed are such as to 


require public assistance for the education of 
their Children put, and negatived. 

Motion made, and Question, That, although 
Evening Schools are valuable, as means of confirm- 
ing and carrying on the Education received in Day 
Schools, it is unnecessary and inexpedient to grant 
Public Money for their support, inasmuch as the 

AA youth 








178 


youth attending them are generally in the receipt 
of wages, and are well able to pay the small charge 
for evening instruction, and also because numerous 
Evening Schools and classes already exist in con- 
nexion with voluntary institutions, and are con- 
stantly increasing in number and efficiency 
put, and negatived. 

Motion made, and Question put, That, inasmuch 
as the great majority of Children in Wales are, on 
their admission to Schools, either altogether igno- 
rant of, or imperfectly acquainted with, the English 
language, through the medium of which they are 
instructed, and in which their examination is con- 
ducted, such examination shall not, in any School 
in the Principality, be commenced until the Chil- 
dren have attained the age of seven years ;

No. 448, 


Mr. Dodson reported from the Committee ap- Juries Bill 


es to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the 
ords for disagreeing to certain of the Amend- 
ments made by their Lordships to the Juries 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 Amendment in 
p- 1, 1. 13, for the following Reason : 

Because the Commons are of opinion that the 
principle on which certain classes of medical 
men are exempted from serving on juries, 
namely, that their personal attendance may 
be at any time suddenly required in case of 
illness or accident, does not apply to phar- 
maceutical chemists or veterinary surgeons ; 
and, moreover, that no sufficient distinction 
exists between pharmaceutical and other 
chemists to justify the exemption being 
granted to the former, while it it is with- 
held from the latter. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
p- 4, ls. 1 and 4, for the following Reason: 

Because the adoption of these Amendments 
would interfere with the payment of certain 
fees to the Post-office, which fees would be 
carried to the Consolidated Fund; and the 
Commons trust your Lordships will be 
satisfied with the above Reason, and will 
not insist upon the Amendments to which 
they have disagreed. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
p- 7, ls. 18 and 19, for the Reason stated for dis- 
agreeing to the Amendment in p. 1, 1. 13. 

With tke 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. 


Sir Robert Peel reported from the Committee poor Relief 
appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to (Ireland), 


the Lords for disagreeing to certain of the Amen 
ments made by their Lordships to the Poor Relief 
(Ireland) (No. 2) 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 omission of 
Clauses 3 and 4, for the following Reasons : 
Because there are at all times in Jreland a 
great number of poor persons, not being 
destitute poor persons, who are suffering 
from severe sickness or from serious acci- 
dent, in localities so remote from the 
county infirmaries as not to admit of their 


being

being removed thereto, in whose cases, ne- 
vertheless, proper nursing, suitable diet, 
and various comforts, not obtainable other- 
wise than in an infirmary or hospital, are 
essential to recovery, or to prompt recovery 
from such sickness or such accident; and, 

Because there is ample accommodation for 
the reception and treatment of all such 
cases in the buildings provided for work- 
houses and workhouse infirmaries and work- 
house fever hospitals, by means whereof 
rong or infirmary treatment could be 
made legally available, at comparatively 
little cost, and without danger of abuse, to 
poor persons requiring it, in every part of 
Ireland, if the omitted Clauses were made 
part of the law. 

The Commons disagree to the omission of 
Clause 5, for the following Reason: 

Because it would conduce materially to the 
convenience and safety, in a sanitary sense, 
of the Constabulary force in Ireland, if 
constables and sub-constables could legally 
be admitted into the workhouse infirmaries 
or workhouse fever hospitals for medical or 
surgical treatment, when requiring such 
treatment in an infirmary or fever ‘hospital, 
and more especially in the latter case, there 
being now very few fever hospitals in Jre- 
land, except those connected with the 
Union workhouses. 

The Commons disagree to the omission of 
Clause 6, for the Reasons already stated, and also 
for the following Reason : 

Because it is neither necessary, expedient or 
just that poor persons availing themselves 
of surgical or medical treatment in'an hos- 
pital or infirmary, who shall have paid the 
cost of their maintenance therein, should 
thereafter be deprived of the right to exercise 
of any franchise which they may possess, as 
in the case of persons who have received 
relief as paupers from the poor rates. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ment in p. 5, 1. 32, by leaving out the word (jus- 
tice), and inserting the words (two justices); and 
by inserting after the word (peace), the words (in 

etty sessions); and by leaving out the words 
justice is), and inserting the words (justices are). 

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. 


Several Public Petitions were or nggaa and 
read ; and ordered to lie upon the Table.

mand,—Copy of Report on the Geological Survey,

Mr. Charles Forster reported from the Com- Salford Im- 
mittee —— to draw up Reasons to be assigned provement 
to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of the _ 
Amendments made by their Lordships to the Sa/- 
ford Improvement Bill; That they had drawn up 
Reasons accordingly, which they had directed him 
to report to the House :—And the same were as 
follow : 

The Commons disagree to Clause 107 being 
struck out of the Bill, for the following Reason: 

Because the Clause will, in their opinion, 
have a beneficial operation in preventing 
the sale of cattle labouring under infectious 
or contagious disease in the markets and 
fairs within the Borough of Salford. 

The Commons disagree to the insertion of the 
word (perambulator) at p. 103, 1.3, for the fol- 
lowing Reason: 

Because if perambulators be permitted only 
on the carriage ways of a Town, it will en- 
danger the lives of children and of those in 
charge of them. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments 
made at p. 165, Is. 7, 8 and 9, and also at p. 187, 
1. 19, for the following Reason : 

Because the same contain incorrect references 
to the numbers of certain of the Clauses in 
the Bill, as they will eventually stand. 

And the Commons trust your Lordships will be 
satisfied with the foregoing Reasons, and will not 
insist upon the Amendments to which the Com- 
mons have disagreed. 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 
agree to the Amendments made to the Bill; and 
they have made further Amendments consequent 
thereon, to which they desire your Lordships’ con- 
currence. 

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

Lords Com- And afterwards, a Speech of the Lords Com- | 
missioners’ 


Speech. missioners was delivered to both Houses by the 
Lord High Chancellor, as followeth: 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


' 
i 
| 


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 per- 
formance of your duties during the Session now 
brought to a close. 

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
Her relations with Foreign Powers are friendly 
and satisfactory, and that Her Majesty trusts there | 
is no danger of any disturbance of the Peace of | 
Europe. 

The Civil War which has for some time been 
raging among the States of the North American 
Union has, unfortunately, continued in unabated 
intensity ; and the evils with which it has been 
attended have not been confined to. the American 
Continent; but Her Majesty, having from the 
outset determined to take no part in that contest, 
has seen no reason to depart from the neutrality to 
which She has steadily adhered. 

Disturbances have taken place in some of the 
frontier Provinces of the Turkish Empire, and Her 
Majesty has instructed Her Ambassador at Con- 
stantinople to attend a Conference to be held in 
that City by the Representatives of the Powers 
who were Parties to the Treaty of Paris of 1856. 
Her Majesty trusts that the questions to be dealt 
with in that Conference will be settled in a manner 
consistent with the Treaty engagements of the 
Allies, and in accordance with the just rights of 
the Sultan, and the welfare of the Christian inha- 
bitants of his dominions. 











Her Majesty’s Forces in China, together with 


A. 1862. 


those of the Emperor of the French, have lately 
been employed, in co-operation with those of the 
Emperor of China, in pretecting some of the chief 
seats of British Commerce in China from injury by 
the Civil War which is laying waste portions of 
that vast Empire. 

Her Majesty commands us to inform you, that 
She has concluded a Commercial Treaty with the 
King of the Belgians, by which the Trade of Her 
Majesty’s Subjects in Belgium will be placed gene- 
rally on the footing of the most favoured Nation. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty commands us to convey to you 
Her warm acknowledgments for the liberal Sup- 
plies which you have granted for the service of 
the present year; and Her Majesty thanks you 
for having also made Provision towards placing 
Her Majesty’s Dockyards and Arsenals in a per- 
manent state of Defence. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Her Majesty commands us to express to you the 
admiration with which She has witnessed the un- 
diminished zeal and the patriotic spirit which con- 
tinue to animate Her Volunteer Forces, as well as 
the military efficiency which they have attained. 

Her Majesty has observed with satisfaction the 
kindly intercourse which has subsisted between 
Her Majesty’s Subjects and the numerous Fo- 
reigners who have been attracted this year to the 
United Kingdom, and Her Majesty trusts that the 
interchange of mutual courtesies will strengthen 
the foundations of international friendship and 
good-will. 

Her Majesty has given Her ready assent to an 
Act for carrying into effect the Treaty which Her 
Majesty has concluded with the President of the 


' United States for the suppression of the Slave 
Trade, and Her Majesty trusts that the co-opera- 


tion of the United States Navy with Her own may 
go far to extinguish the desolating crime against 
which that Treaty is directed. 

Her Majesty earnestly hopes that the steps 
which have been taken for rendering more effectual 
the aid provided by Parliament for the extension 
of Education among the poorer classes of Her 
Subjects will tend to promote an object of great 
national importance. 

Her Majesty has given Her willing assent to 
many measures of public utility which you have 
submitted to Her during this Session. 

The severe distress which revails in some of the 
manufacturing districts has inspired Her Majesty 
with deep concern and warm sympathy, mingled 
with admiration of the manly bearing and exem- 
plary fortitude with which the pressure has been 
endured. Her Majesty trusts that the Act for 
enabling Boards of Guardians to provide additional 
means of relief will mitigate that distress. 

The Act for rendering more easy the Transfer of 
Land will add to the value of Real Property, will 
make Titles more simple and secure, and will dimi- 
nish the expense attending Purchases and Sales. 

The Act for the better regulation of Parochial 
Assessments will tend to a more equal distribution 
of local Taxation; while the Act for the better Ad- 
ministration of the Highways will, Her Majesty 
trusts, improve the means of communication in 
many parts of the Country. 

The Act for establishing Uniformity of Weights 
and Measures in Ireland will apply a remedy to 
inconveniences which have been much felt and 
complained of, as affecting the trading transactions 
in that part of the United Kingdom; and the Act 
for amending the Law relating to the Poor will 
extend to the poorer classes of Her Majesty’s 
Subjects in Jreland better means of obtaining 
relief and medical attendance. ie

Shipping Her Majesty trusts will prove advan- 
— to the Maritime Commerce of the Country. 

In returning to your several Counties, you will 
still have important duties to perform; and Her 
Majesty fervently prays that the blessing of 
Almighty God may assist your efforts, and may 
direct them to the attainment of the object 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 
the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed,

in obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this
