Lord High Chaneellor, being one of the said 
Commissioners, made a Speech 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, 


We are commanded to assure you that Her 
Majesty has great satisfaction in recurring again 
to the advice and assistance of Her Parliament. 

Her Majesty is confident that you will share 
Her feeling of gratitude to Almighty God on 
account of the Princess of Wales having given 
birth to a Son; an event which has called forth 
from Her faithful People renewed demonstrations 
of devoted loyalty and attachment to Her Person 
and Family. 

The state of affairs on the continent of Europe 


the Chief Registrar of the Court, in pursuance of | has been the cause of great anxiety to Her Ma- 
Section 67 of such Act, and of a General Order jesty. The death of the late King of Denmark 


made under it, dated the 18th day of July 1863. | }rought into immediate application the Stipula-

King of Hanover, the King of Saxony, the King 
of Wurtemberg,the King of the Belgians, the King 
of the Netherlands, the Queen of Spain, the King 
of Portugal, and the King of Sardinia.

to an Address to Her Majesty, dated the 6th day 
of July, in the last Session of Parliament, for 
a Return of the Number of Men flogged in the 
Army and Militia of Great Britain and Ireland 
in the year 1862; specifying the Offence, the 
Regiments, the Place of Station, the Time, the 
Sentence, and the Number of Lashes inflicted on 
each Person (in continuation of Parliamentary 
Paper, No. 37, of Session 1862). 

Return to an Address to Tier Majesty, dated 
the 24th day of July, in the last Session of Parlia- 
ment, for a Return showing the Expenditure as the 
Charge of Chelsea Hospital in each year from 
1842; the Number of In-Pensioners; and the 





Amount voted in Supply in each year, in the fol- 


Her Majesty, actuated by the same desire to 
preserve the Peace of Europe, which was one of 
the declared objects of all the Powers who were 
parties to that Treaty, has been unremitting in 
Her endeavours to bring about a peaceful settle- 
ment of the differences which on this matter have 
arisen between Germany and Denmark, and to 
ward off the dangers which might follow from a 
beginning of warfare in the North of Europe; and 
Her Majesty will continue Her efforts in the inte- 
rest of Peace. 

The barbarous murders and cruel assaults com- 
mitted in Japan upon Subjects of Her Majesty 
rendered it necessary that demands should be 
made upon the Japanese Government, and upon 


the Daimio by whose retainers some of those out- 
rages were committed. e 
| The Government of the Tycoon compfied with 
|the demand made upon them by Her Majesty’s 
| Government, and full satisfaction having been 
‘made, the friendly relations between the two Go- 
ivernments have continued unbroken; but the 
| Daimio Prince of Satzuma refused to comply with 
‘the just and moderate demands which were made 
upon him. 

His refusal rendered measures of coercion neces- 
sary, and Her Majesty regrets that while those 
e measures have brought this Daimio to an agree- 
a ment for compliance, they led incidentally to the 
destruction of a considerable portion of the town 
of Kagosima. 

Papers on this subject will be laid before you. — 

The Insurrection which broke out last year 
among some portion of the Native ighabitants of | 
New Zealand still unfortunately continues, but 
there is reason to hope that it will, before long, be 
put down. oes :

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
She has concluded a Treaty with the Emperor of 
Austria, the Emperor of the French, the King of 
Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, by which 
Her Majesty consents to give up the Protectorate 
of the Junian Islands, and also agrees to the annex- 
ation of those Islands to the Kingdom of Greece. 
This Treaty shall be laid before you. Her Ma- 
jesty is also negotiating a Treaty with the King of 
the Hellenes for regulating the arrangements con- 
nected with the union of the Jonian Islands with 
the Kingdom of Greece. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty has directed the Estimates for the 
ensuing year to be laid before you. They have 
been prepared with every attention to economy, 
and with a due regard to the efficiency of the Pub- 
lic Service. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
the condition of the Country is, on the whole, 
satisfactory. The Revenue has fully realized its 
expected amount; the Commerce of the United 
Kingdom is increasing; and, while the distress in 
the manufacturing districts has been in some de- 
gree lessened, there is reason to look forward to 
an increased supply of Cotton from various coun- 
tries which have hitherto but scantily furnished 
our manufacturers with this material for their in- 
dustry. 

Her Majesty has directed that a Commission 
shall be issued for the purpose of revising the 
various forms of Subscription and Declaration 
required to be made by the Clergy of the Esta- 
blished Church. A copy of that 
be laid before you. 

Various measures of public usefulness will be 
submitted for your consideration. 

Her Majesty commits, with confidence, the 
great interests of the Country to your wisdom and 
care; and She fervently prays that the blessing of 


Commission will

Almighty God may attend your deliberations and 
prosper your councils for the advancement of the | 
welfare and happiness of Her loyal and faithful | 
People. | 


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

To assure Her Majesty that we heartily join in 
the expression of gratitude to Almighty God on 
account of the Princess of Wales having given 
birth to a Son, and to offer to Her Majesty our | 
cordial congratulations upon an event in which 
we, in common with all Her Majesty’s faithful 
People, take the deepest interest, and which we 
hail with feelifgs of devoted loyalty and attach- 
ment to Her Majesty’s Person and Family : 

To assure Her Majesty that we fully partici- 
pate in the anxiety caused to Her Majesty by the 
state of affairs on the Continent of Europe : 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for iniorming 
us that the death of the late King of Denmark 
brought into immediate application the stipulations 
of the Treaty of May, 1852, concluded by Her 
Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of 
the French, the Ki _&lt; Prussia, the Emperor of 
Russia, the King of Sweden, and the King of 
Denmark, and afterwards acceded to by the Ki 
of Hanover, the King of Sazony, the Ki ‘ot 


tr wee the King of the Belgians , the Ki 
of the Netherlands, the Queen of Spain, the King full 


declared” 


and the King of Italy; which Treaty 
it is conducive to the tion of 
the Balance of Power and of the Peace of E 

that the integrity of the Danish Monarchy should 





be maintained, and that the several Territories 
which have hitherto been under the sway of the 
King of Denmark should continue so to remain, 
and for this purpose settled that, upon the death 
of the late King and of his uncle Prince Frederick 
without issue, his present Majesty King Christian 
the Ninth should be ae as succeeding 
to all the Dominions then united under the sceptre 
of his Majesty the King of Denmark: 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing us 
that, actuated by the same desire to preserve the 
peace of Europe, which was one of the declared 
objects of all the Powers who were parties to that 
Treaty, She has been unremitting in Her endea- 
vours to bring about a peaceful settlement of the 
differences which on this matter have arisen be- 
tween Germany and Denmark, and to ward off the 
dangers which might follow from a beginning of 
olin in the North of Europe ; and humbly to: 
express the satisfaction with which we learn that - 
Her Majesty will continue Her efforts in the inte- 
rest of Peace: 

To convey our thanks to Her Majesty for in-

Lord Richard Grosvenor reported from the Address re- 


Committee appointed to draw up an Address to 
be mamas to Her Majesty, That they had 
drawn up an Address accordingly; and the same 
was read, as followeth: 


Most Gracious Sovereign, 


We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal Sub- 
jects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of 
Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assem- 
bled, beg leave to convey to Your Majesty our 
thanks for the gracious esesh which Your Ma- 

has commanded to be made to both Houses 

arliament : 
We assure Your Majesty that we heartily join 
in the expression of gratitude to Almighty bod 
on account of the Princess of Wales having given 
birth to a Son, and we offer to Your Majesty our 
cordial congratulations upon an event in which 
we, in common with all Your Majesty’s faithful 
People, take the deepest interest, and which we 
hail with feelings of devoted loyalty and attach- 
ment to Your Majesty’s Person and Family : 

We assure Your Majesty that we fully parti- 
cipate in the anxiety caused to Your Majesty by 
the state of Affairs‘on the Continent of Europe : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informin 
us that the death of the late King of Denmar. 
brought into immediate application the stipula- 
tions of the Treaty of May 1852, concluded by 
Your Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, the Em- 
_ of the French, the King of Prussia, the 

mperor of Russia, the King of Sweden, and the 
King of Denmark, and afterwards acceded to by 
the King of Hanover, the King of Sazony, the 
King of Wurtemberg, the King of the Belgians, 
the King of the Netherlands, the Queen of Spain, 
the King of Portugal and the King of Jtaly; 
which Treaty declared that it is conducive to the 

reservation of the Balance of Power and of the 
eace of Europe that the integrity of the Danish Mo- 
narchy should be maintained, and that the several 
Territories which have hitherto been under the 
sway of the King of Denmark should continue so 
to remain, and for this purpose settled that, upon 
the death of the late King and of his uncle 
Prince Frederick without issue, his present Ma- 
jesty King Christian the Ninth should be acknow- 
ledged as succeeding to all the Dominions then 
united under the sceptre of his Majesty the King 
of Denmark : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that, actuated by the same desire to preserve 
the Peace of Europe, which was one of the declared 
objects of all the Powers parties to that Treaty, 
Your Majesty has been unremitting in Your 
endeavours to bring about a peaceful settlement 
of the differences which, on this matter, have 
arisen between Germany and Denmark, and to 
ward off the dangers which may follow from a 
beginning of warfare in the North of Europe; and 
we humbly express the satisfaction with which we 
learn that Your Majesty will continue Your efforts 
in the interest of Peace: 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that, 
in consequence of the barbarous murders and cruel 
assaults committed in Japan upon Your Majesty’s 
subjects, Your Majesty considered it necessary 
that demands should be made upon the Japanese 
Government, and upon the Daimio by whose 
retainers some of those outrages were committed; 

that, 


jest 
of 











“Tr 


Hi 


97 V teToRI&amp;. 


that, the Government of the Tycoon ais com- 

lied with the demands, and full satisfaction having 

een made, the friendly relations between the two 
Governments have continued unbroken ; but that, 
the Daimio Prince of Satzuma having refused to 
comply with the demands which were made upon 
him, and which Your Majesty considers to have 
been just and moderate, his refusal rendered 
measures of coercion necessary : 

We humbly express to Your Majesty that we 
share in Your Majesty’s regret, that while those 
measures have brought this Daimio to an agree- 
ment for compliance, they led incidentally to the 
destruction of a considerable portion of the Town 
of Kagosima; and we thank Your Majesty for 
commanding that Papers on this subject shall be 
laid before us: 

We humbly express to Your Majesty our grati- 
fication at learning that there is reason to hope 
that the Insurrection which broke out last year 
among some portion of the Native inhabitants of 
New Zealand, and which still unfortunately con- 
tinues, will, before long, be put down: 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
Your Majesty has concluded a Treaty with the 
Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, 
the King of Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, 
by which Your Majesty consents to give up the 
Protectorate of the Jonian Islands, and also agrees 
to the annexation of those Islands to the Kingdom 
of Greece, and for directing that this Treaty shall 
be laid before us: 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that Your Majesty is also negotiating a Treaty 
with the King of the Hedllenes for regulating the 
arrangements connected with the union of the 
Ionian Islands with the Kingdom of Greece: 

We thank Your Majesty for having directed 
the Estimates for the ensuing year to be laid 
before us, and for having caused them to be framed 
with a due regard to economy, and to the efficiency 
of the Public Service: 

We assure Your Majesty that we learn with 
gratification that the condition of the Country is, 
on the whole, satisfactory ; that the Revenue has 
fully realized its expected amount; that the Com- 
merce of the United Kingdom is increasing; and 
that, while the distress in the manufacturing dis- 
tricts has been in some degree lessened, there is 
reason to look forward to an increased supply of 
Cotton from various countries which have hitherto 
but scantily furnished our manufacturers with this 
material for their industry : 

We thank Your Majesty for having commanded 
to be laid before us a copy of the Commission 
which Your Majesty has directed shall be issued 
for the purpose of revising the various forms of 
Subscription and Declaration required to be made 
by the Clergy of the Established Church: 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that we will 
give our earnest attention to the measures of public 
usefulness which may be submitted for our con- 
sideration; and that, in common with Your Majesty, 
we trust that the blessing of Almighty God may 
attend our deliberations and prosper our councils 
for the advancement of the welfare and happiness 
of Your Majesty’s loyal and faithful People. 

The said Address being read a second time ; 

Resolved, That this House doth agree with the

countant General of the Court of Chancery, of the

secured by a bond or undertaking of the pro- 
moters, solicitors and agents of the Bill, but, on

ing of the Solicitors alone, on their showing that 
they were Solicitors of the Bill, and had the sole 
control of it; and it was further stated by one of 
the Directors of the Insurance Company, as appears 
in evidence before the Committee, that he con- 
sidered, if the money was not repaid, the Com- 
pany had a right to call upon the Solicitors to 
withdraw the Bill; the Committee, believing | 
that the course pursued, which has for the first 
time been brought under the notice of a Committee, | 
is calculated to evade the object for which the re- | 
gulations of Parliamentary deposits with reference 
to Railway Bills were made, have thought it their 
duty to submit the case for the consideration of 
the House. | 

Ordered, That the Report be referred to the |

PRAYERS. 


OLONEL Wilson Patten reported from the Standing or. 
Select Committee on Standing Orders, to 4 
whom the Special Report from the Committee on Sheffiela, 


Group 16 of Railway Bills, in respect of the 
Sheffield, Chesterfield and vr yrs Railway 
Bill, was referred ; That they had considered the 
matter to them referred, and had agreed to the 
following Report :— 

That the facts reported to the House by the 
Committee on the Sheffield, Chesterfield and 
Staffordshire Railway Bill, and referred to this 


| Committee, in regard to the deposit of stock in 


the Court of Chancery ex parte that undertaking 
on the 15th January last, do not appear to this 
Committee to amount to a direct violation of the 
Standing Orders of the House ; but the Committee 


consider that they constitute an evasion of the 


securities provided by Parliament to insure the 
bona fide Temata of such undertakings, and that 
such evasion has been accomplished by means of a 
misconstruction and misuse of the provisions of the 
Act of 9 Vic. c. 20, which regulates the mode of 
paying monies into the Court of Chancery under 
the Standing Orders of Parliament. 

That Act authorizes a deposit to be made, in the 
cases therein provided for, of a certain amount of 
Government stock or secarities in lieu of the 
deposit of an equivalent sum of money. The 
third section, however, which confers this power, 
expressly limits its exercise to the cases in which 
** any such Director or person having the manage- 
ment of any such proposed work or undertaking 
shall have previously iuvested in the Three per 
Centum Consolidated, or the Three per Centum 
Reduced Bank Annuities, Exchequer Bills, or 
other Government securities, the sum or sums 
of money required by any such Standing Order, 
&amp;c.” The intention of Parliament appears to have 
been to relieve the Promoters of undertakings who 
might have invested any of their subscribed 
monies in Government securities fram the necessity 
of reconverting the same into money for the pur- 
pose of paying the required deposit. The third 
section sanctions in such cases—but in such cases 
only —the substitution of stock for cash. 

In the case referred to the Committee, it appears 
from the Report that the stock transferred to the 
name of the Accountant General by way of deposit 
was not stock in which the Promoters of the under- 
taking had “ previously invested” any parts of their 
funds, or which in any sense could be considered 
as their own stock; but it was stock hired for 
the occasion from other parties wholly uncon- 
nected with the undertaking. It, therefore, ap- 
pears clear to the Committee that this was not a 
deposit of stock authorized by the Act of Parlia- 
ment. On referring, however, to the Warrant 
issued from the Private Bill Office of this House, 
it will be found that that instrument does expressly 
order and authorize certain persons named therein, 
who were the owners of the stock, but not “ Di- 
rectors or persons having the management of the 
undertaking,” to transfer such stock to the name 


of the Accountant General, ex parte the under- 


taking in question. The construction of the Act 
under which the Warrant was so framed ap- 
pears to the Committee to be quite inconsistent 
with the language, and equally at variance with 
the intention and spirit of the statute. The 
practice adopted in consequence of this view 
tends to defeat the object of obtaining sub- 
stantial security at the hands of the actual Pro- 
moters of undertakings, since it enables those 
persons to obtain from third parties a loan of the 
requisite amount of stock for a short period at a 

certain

| &lt;A Petition of the Midland Railway Company, Midland Rail 
and of the Vestry of the Parish of Saint Pancras, *3¥ a

ever might be the judgment of Parliament upon | 


its merits—in the hands of those who had lent the 
stock for deposit. The facts stated in the Report, 
in the present instance, illustrate the operation and 
abuses of the system. 

It appears to the Committee of essential import- 
ance that the practice of the Private Bill Office 
henceforward should be made strictly conformable to 
the provisions of the law, and that‘no further latitude 
than the Act allows should in any instance be 
permitted. Much abuse which has grown up 
under the existing practice may, the Committee 
believe, be thus obviated. 

With regard to the Bill in question, inasmuch 
as the Promoters have only availed themselves of 
a relaxation of the law which the existing prac- 
tice afforded, and as many other Bills of the pre- 
sent Session would doubtless. be found on inquiry 
to be open to the same objection, the Committee 
do not think it necessary to recommend that the 
consequences of the error should he visite] on the 
Promoters by suspending the further progress of 


the Bill. 


Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table; |

And the House having continued to sit till after

Sabbati, 16° die Aprilis, 1864: 

An Amendment was proposed to be made to the 
Question, by leaving out from the word “ That” 
to the end of the Question, in order to add the 
words “it is not possible for the Officers of the Sugar. 
“ Customs to ascertain by inspection the quantity 
* of crystallizable saccharine matter contained in 
“any sample of Sugar, and that a law, which 
** seeks to effect such an object, is unjust to the 
“* producer, inasmuch as by striking with a superior 
- Duty one pound of Sugar which by a better 
** mode of manufacture contains more saccharine 
“ matter than another pound obtained from the 
“ same raw material, it inflicts direct discourage- 
** ment on improvement; whilst at the same time 
“ it excludes large quantities of fine Sugars from 
“the market, and thereby injures both consumers 
‘* and the Revenue by limiting the supply,” instead 
thereof. 

And the Question being put, That the words 
proposed to be left out stand part of the Question ; 

The House divided.

Chichester Mr. Gregson reported from the Committee ap- 
and Midhurst pointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the 
No. 3) Bill Lords for disagreeing to one of the Amendments 

made by their Lattin to the Chichester and 


Midhurst Railway (No. 3) 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 agree to the Amendments made 
by your Lordships as far as Clause A. 

The Commons propose to amend Clause A., by 
leaving out the words “ or of the Mid-Sussex and 
“ Midhurst Junction Railway Company respec- 
“ tively ;” by leaving out the word “ Junctions,” and 
inserting the words “ Junction with the Railway 
“of that Company ;” by leaving out the words 
“on the Mid-Sussex and Midhurst Junction Rail- 
“‘ way Company, as the case may require;” by 
leaving out the word “#espective ;” and by leaving 
out the word “seals,” and inserting the word 
“ seal,” instead thereof. 

The Commons propose to amend Clause B., by 
leaving out the words “or the Mid-Sussex and 
“ Midhurst Railway ;” and by leaving out the 
words “ two last-mentioned Railways, or either of 
“them,” and inserting the words “ Railway of the 
“ London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Com- 
“pany,” instead thereof. 

The Commons disagree to Clause C., for the fol- 
lowing Reason: 

Because, inasmuch as the Provisions objected 
to confer upon the London, Brighton and South 
Coast Railway Company a right to interfere 
with works affecting the Mid-Sussex and 
Midhurst Junction Railway, which does not 
at present form part of the undertaking of 
the before-mentioned Company. 

The Commons propose to amend Clause D., by 
leaving out the word * Junctions,” and inserting the 
word “ Junction,” instead thereof. 

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

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 
the same. 


Ordered, That the Return relative to Coals, 
Cinders and Culm, &amp;c., which was presented upon 
the 3d day of this instant June, be printed.

Mr. Brand reported from the Committee on In-

tions ; which were read, as follow: 

1. That any Bill of Exchange payable on de- 
mand, which shall be endorsed out of the United 
Kingdom, or purport to be so endorsed, where- 
soever the same may have been drawn, shall, for 
the purpose of charging the Stamp Duty thereon, 
be deemed to be a Foreign Bill of Exchange, but 
shall be chargeable with the same amount of 
Stamp Duty as an Inland Bill of Exchange for 
the payment of money otherwise than on demand, 
according to the amount thereby made payable. 


2. That the Stamp Duties chargeable by Law 
on Grants of Probates of Wills or Letters of 
Administration in England and Ireland, and on 
Inventories in Scotland, of the Estate and Effects 
of any person deceased, shall be charged and paid 
in respect of the value of any Ship, or any share 
of a Ship, belonging to any deceased person which 
shall be registered at any port in the United 
Kingdom, notwithstanding such Ship, at the time 
of the death of the testator or intestate, may have 
been at sea or elsewhere out of the United King- 
dom; and for the purpose of charging the said 
Duties such Ship shall be deemed to have been at 
the time aforesaid in the port at which she may be 
registered. 

3. That it shall be lawful to make Re-assurance 
upon any Ship or Vessel, or upon any Goods, 
Merchandise, or other property on board of any 
Ship or Vessel, or upon the freight of any Ship or 
Vessel, or upon any other interest in or relating 
to any Ship or Vessel which may lawfully be 
insured; and such Re-assurances shall be deemed 
to be the insurance of interests which may law- 
fully be insured within the meaning of the Acts 
imposing Stamp Duties on Policies of Sea Insur- 
ance: Provided always, That if within three ca- 
lendar months next after the termination of the 
risk on any Policy of Re-assurance, application 
shall be made to the Commissioners of Inland 
Revenue, and it shall be proved to their satisfac- 
tion that any such Re-assurance as aforesaid has 
been made on the same property or interest and 
risk which shall have been previously assured to 
the same or some greater amount, by one or more 
lawful and valid Policy or Policies existing at the 
time of making such Re-assurance, and duly 
stamped for denoting the full and proper Duties 
chargeable thereon, it shall be lawful for the said 
Commissioners to make allowance for the Stamp 
Duty impressed on the Policy of Re-assurance in 
like manner as in the case of spoiled Stamps on 
Policies of Insurance under the Act passed in the 
fifty-fourth year of the reign of King George the 
Third, chapter one hundred and thirty-three ; and 
the several Provisions of the said Act, so far as 
they are applicable, or can be applied, shall be

ments made by their Lordships to the Halifax and ®*!way

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 Clause C., for the fol- 
lowing Reason : 

Because the Clause may have the effect of 
altering a charge made by the Commons upon 
the rates leviable within the Borough of 
Halifax. 

And the Commons trust your Lordships will be 
satisfied with the foregoing Reason, and will not 
insist upon the Amendment to which the Commons 
have disagreed. 


The 











98 VicToRiZ. 


The Commons have made further Amendments 
consequent thereon, to which they desire your 
Lordships’ concurrence, viz., in p. 9, instead of 
Clause &amp;., the Commons propose to insert the fol- 
lowing Clause :— 

The Agreement between Edward Akroyd, Henry 
Ambler and Joseph Moxon Kirk, for and on behalf 


of the Company, of the one part; and the Mayor, | 


Aldermen and Burgesses of the Borough of Hali- 
fax, of the other part, bearing date the seventeenth 
day of June, One thousand eight hundred and 
sixty-four, and a copy whereof is contained in the 
Schedule to this Act, is by this Act confirmed and 
made binding on the Company and the said Mayor, 


Aldermen and Burgesses, respectively, and shall | 


be carried into effect by the parties thereto accord- 
ingly. 

And in p. 23, after Clause 59, the Commons 
propose to insert the following Schedule :— 

An Agreement entered into this seventeenth 
day of June, One thousand eight hundred and 
sixty-four, between Edward Akroyd, of Bank 
Field, in Halifax, in the County of York, Esquire, 
Henry Ambler, of the Grange, in Ovenden, in the 
said County, Esquire, and Joseph Moxon Kirk, of 
Woodside, in Halifax aforesaid, Esquire, three of 
the Provisional Directors of the proposed Halifax

after referred to as “ the Company”) of the one 
part; and the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of 
the Borough of Halifax, in their capacity of Local 
Board of Health for the district of that borough, 
of the other part: Whereas the said Mayor, Al- 
dermen and Burgesses, acting as the Local Board 
of Health, intend to form a road communicating 
between Park-road, in the Township of Northow- 
ram, and a point at or near Lower Wade-street, in 
the Township of Halifax, all within the Borough 
of Halifax; now it is hereby agreed between the 
Company and the Local Board as follows: The 
Company shall, if required by the Local Board, 
by Notice under their Corporate Seal given to the 
Company within two months from the receipt by 
the Local Board from the Company of a Notice in 
writing fixing the course and level of the Railway, 
so construct their Railway as to provide for a 
road of the width of thirty-six feet, passing either 
under or over the Railway, as the Local Board 
shall by the Notice to be given by them decide 
such bridge to be, at any point which the Local 
Board in such Notice shall determine, upon lands 
in the Township of Northowram between the se- 
cond and fourth furlong of the first mile of the 
Railway as shown on the deposited Plans; and in 
the event of the Local Board electing to carry 
such road underneath the Railway, the necessary 
works shall be executed by the Company; and 
any additional cost incurred by the Company in the 
construction of a bridge, archway or other open 
communication in lieu of earthwork for the pur- 
ee of allowing such road to pass underneath the 

ailway shall be paid to the Company by the 
Local Board; and in case the Local Board decide 
to carry such road over the Railway, the Company 
shall concurrently with the construction of the 
Railway construct a bridge and approaches thereto 
at the expense of the Local Board, upon Plans ‘to 
be mutually agreed upon between the parties; 
and the Local Board shall for ever after the con- 
struction of such open communication, bridge and 
approaches (if over the Railway), repair, maintain 


and renew the same at their own ee and (if 


under the Railway) shall pay to the Company one- 
half of the annual expense incurred by the Com- 
pany in the repair, maintenance and renewal 
thereof; and in case the Local Board shall make 


default therein, the Company may do the neces- 
sary repairs, maintenance or renewals, and the 
expense incurred by the Company shall be reco- 
verable from the Local Board as damages are by

Mr. Hunt reported from the Committee ap- Penal Servi- 


— to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the tude Acts 


made by their Lordships to the Penal Servitude 
Acts Amendment 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 agree to the Amendments as far 
as the first Amendment inclusive in p. 2, 1. 7. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ment at the end of Clause 2, by leaving out the 
words (felony, or if any misdemeanor), and in- 
serting (crime or offence); and by inserting in 
the next line, after the word (felony), the words 
(or in Scotland of any crime). 

The Commons agree to the next Amendment. 

The Commons disagree to the second Amend- 
ment made by the Lords in p. 2, |. 36, for the fol- 
lowing Reasons : 

Ist. Because this House is desirous that a 
monthly registration of the places of resi- 
dence of all male license holders should be 
systematic and regular. 

2d. Because, without any such periodical 
registration, the police would have sufficient 
information respecting license holders to 
prompt them to resort toa system of espionage, 
and not sufficient to render such a system un- 
necessary. 

3d. Because, if the said Amendment were 





agreed to, there would be no security that 
any holder of a license would ever be re- 
quired to make a periodical report of himself 
to the police in any way. 

4th. Because, if any license were issued 
containing such conditions as are referred to 
in the said Amendment, such license must 
be in a form different from that set forth in 
Schedule (A.), and consequently no holder 
of such license would be amenable to the 
penalties mentioned in the 5th and 8th Clauses 
| of the Bill. 

5th. Because the adoption of the said 
Amendment would seriously interfere with 
the working of the present system of regis- 
tration and supervision of license holders in 
Ireland. 


ments made by their Lordships. 

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 Commons agree to the rest of the Amend- 


ords for disagreeing to one of the Amendments pin —

Amendment was, to leave out the second para- 
graph, in order to insert the words “ To submit to 
** Her Majesty the opinion of this House, that the 
* independence of Denmark and the possessions of

Mr. Milner Gibson reported from the Com- Railways 


i i Construction 
mittee appointed to draw up Reasons to be as- Facilities Bill. 


signed to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of the 
Amendments made by their Lordships to the Rail- 
ways Construction Facilities Bill ; That they had 
drawn up Reasons accordingly, whick they had 
directed him to report to the House ; and the same 
were read, as follow: 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ment in p. 5, Ll. 27, by leaving out’ the words (in 
their opinion. ) 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 6, l. 13, for the following Reason: 

Because it is expedient that the Depart- 
ment issuing a Certificate be expressly au- 
thorized to adapt the form of the Certificate 
to the circumstances of different cases. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
p- 7, ls. 10 and 11, for the following Reason : 

Because it is of great importance that the 
validity of a Certificate, when once issued, 
should not be open to question on any ground 
whatever; and if the admissibility of one ground 
of objection to the validity of a Certificate 
(namely, informality) were expressly nega- 
tived, the inference would be that all other 
grounds of objection were admissible. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p. 7, 1. 15, for the following Reason: 

Because it is not expedient to give a statu- 
tory interpretation to the language of a future 
instrument without authorizing the Depart- 
ment by which it is to be framed to modify 
that interpretation, if circumstances should in 
any case so require. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 8, l. 2, for the following Reasons—(as to para- 
graph 4): 

Because, by Clause 61, the Bill makes 
adequate express provision analogous to that 
made by the part of the Lands Clauses Act 
referred to, and in addition requires the 
Company to sell Copies at alow price: And 

Because the part of the Lands Clauses Act 
referred to, is inconsistent with the Provisions 
of the Bill, inasmuch as that Act requires the 
Copies kept to be printed by the Queen’s 
Printers; whereas the Bill requires the Copies 
kept to be printed by the Printers of the 
Gazette.—( As to the rest of the Amendment): 

Because the words struck out by the Lords 
are proper for the protection of landowners, 
inasmuch as they put a check on the exercise 
by a Company of a power of. acquiring in- 
terests in Land in certain cases by a. process 
of a compulsory character, which Power the 
Company would have under the Lands Clauses 
Act, without any check, if the words. were 
struck out. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 8, L. 32, for the following Reasons—(as to leay- 
ing out the words “ except as. may be therein ex- 
cepted”) : 

Because it is expedient that the Department 
issuing a Certificate. be expressly authorized 
to adapt the contents of the Certificate to the 
circumstances. of different. cases.—(As to the 
rest of the Amendiment) : ‘

Because the Reasons before given, with 
reference to the Amendment in p. 8, 1. 2 (as 
to paragraph 4), apply to this Amendment 
also, with the substitution of the Companies 
Clauses Act, instead of the ands Clauses Act. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ments in p. 8, Ll. 34, by leaving out the words 
‘‘ whether incorporated by special Act or by 
“‘ Certificate ;” and they agree to the last Amend- 
ment in |. 34, except that they propose to restore 
the words “ whether incorporated by special Act 
“ or by Certificate ;” and the word “ shall” in 1. 35. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 8, 1. 38, for the following Reason : 

Because the foregoing part of the Clause, 
as proposed to be amended by the Commons, 
will not expressly mention any borrowing 
power. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 10, 1. 3, for the following Reason : 

Because the Reasons before given with re- 
ference to the Amendment in p. 8, 1. 2 (as 
to paragraph 4), apply to this Amendment 
also, with the substitution of the Railways 
Clauses Act, instead of the Lands Clauses 
Act. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p. 17, 1. 6, for the following Reason : 

Because in the case referred to, public 
notice will be sufficient protection to all 
parties. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 17, 1. 40, for the following Reason : 

Because the Reasons before given with re- 
ference to the Amendment in p. 8, 1. 2 (as 
to paragraph 4), apply to this Amendment 
also, with the substitution of the Companies 
Clauses Act, instead of the Lands Clauses 
Act. 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 
agree to the Amendments made by the Lords. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, 
were agreed time. 

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. 


Mr. Milner Gibson reported from the Committee 
appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to 
the Lords for disagreeing to certain of the 
Amendments made dy their Lordships to the 
Railway Companies’ Powers 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 propose to amend the Amend- 
ment in p. 3, 1. 26, by leaving out (in their opi- 
nion ). 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 4, 1. 25, for the following Reason : 

Because it is expedient that the Depart- 
ment issuing a Certificate be expressly autho- 
rized to adapt the form of the Certificate to 
the circumstance of the different cases. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
p- 5, 1. 26: 

Because it is of great importance that the 
validity of a Certificate, when once issued, 
should not be open to question on any ground 
whatever; and if the admissibility of one 
ground of objection to the validity of the 
Certificate (namely, informality) were ex- 
pressly negatived, the inference would be 
that all other grounds of objection were ad- 
missible. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p. 5, l. 30: 

Because it is not expedient to give a statu- 
tory interpretation to the language of a future

instrument without authorizing the Depart- 
ment by which it is to be framed to modify 
that interpretation, if circumstances should in 
any case so require. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 5, l. 37 (as to leaving out the words “ except 
** as may be in the Certificate excepted),” for the 
following Reason : 

Because it is expedient that the Depart- C 
mext issuing a Certificate be expressly autho- F 
rized to adapt the contents of the Certificate 
to the circumstances of different cases. 

(As to leaving out the words “ and except as to 
access to “the special Act),” for the following 
Reasons: 

Because, by Clause 28, the Bill makes ade- 
quate express provision analogous to that 
made by the part of the Companies Clauses 
Act here referred to, and in addition requires 
the Company to sell Copies at a low price: And 

Because the part of the Companies Clauses 
Act here referred to is inconsistent with the 
Provisions of the Bill, inasmuch as that Act 
requires the Copies kept to be printed by the 
Queen’s Printers; whereas the Bill requires 
the Copies kept to be printed by the Printers 
of the Gazette. 

The Commons propose to amend Clause B. by 
inserting after “ Railways,” in 1. 2 of that Clause, 
the words “ in the calculation of tolls and charges 
“ for short distances in respect of traffic conveyed 
* in both Railways.” 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ment made by the Lords in p. 10, 1. 21, by leaving 
out, in 1. 7 of the Amendment, the word “ Com- 
“‘ pany,” and iuserting the word ‘ Companies,” 
instead thereof. 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 
agree to the Amendments made by the Lords 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.

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 discharge 
of your duties during the Session of Parliament 
now brought to a close. 

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
She greatly regrets that the endeavours which She 
made, in concert with the Emperor of the French, 
the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Sweden, 
to bring about a reconciliation between the Ger- 
man Powers and the King of Denmark, were not 
successful, and that the hostilities which had been 
suspended during the negotiations were again 
resumed, Her Majesty trusts, however, that the 


negotiations which have been opened between the 
Belligerents may restore peace to the North of 
Europe.

Her Majesty having addressed herself to the 
Powers who were contracting Parties to the 
Treaty by which the Jonian Republic was placed 
under the protectorate of Great Britain, and havin 
obtained their consent to the annexation of that 
Republic to the Kingdom of Greece, and the 
States of the Jonian Republic havin eed thereto, 
the Republic of the Seven ideale Tete been for- 
mally united to the Kingdom of Greece, and Her 
Majesty trusts that the Union so made will con- 
duce to the welfare and prosperity of all the sub- 
jects of His Majesty the Ring of the Hellenes. 

Her Majesty’s relations with the Emperor of 
China continue to be friendly, and the Commerce 
of Her subjects with the Chinese Empire is in- 
creasing. 

Her Majesty has been engaged, in concert with 
the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, 
the King of Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, 
in an endeavour to bring to effect an amicable ar- 
rangement of differences which had arisen between 
the Hospodar of Moldo- Wallachia and his Suzerain 
the Sultan. Her Majesty has the satisfaction to 
inform you that this endeavour has been suc- 
cessful. 

Her Majesty deeply laments that the Civil War 
in North America has not been brought to a close. 
Her Majesty will continue to observe a strict 
Neutrality between the Belligerents, and would 
rejoice at a friendly reconciliation between the 
contending Parties. 


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 
present year, and towards the permanent defence 
of Her Majesty’s Dockyards and Arsenals. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Her Majesty has observed with satisfaction that 
the Distress which the Civil War in North America 
has created in some of the Manufacturing Districts 
has, to a great extent, abated; and Her Majesty 
trusts that increased supplies of the Raw Material 
of Industry may be expected from Countries by 
which it has hitherto been scantily furnished. 

The revolt of certain tribes in New Zealand has 
not yet been quelled, but it is satisfactory to Her 
Majesty to know that a large portion of the Native 
population of those Islands have taken no part in 
this revolt. 

It has been a source of much gratification to 
Her Majesty to observe the rapid development of 
the Revenues of Her East Indian Possessions, and 
the general contentment of the people inhabiting 
those extensive regions. 

Her Majesty has given Her cordial assent to 
many measures of public usefulness, the result of 
your labours during the Session now brought to a 
close. 

The Act for extending to women and children 
employed in various trades the regulations appli- 
cable to factories in general, will tend materially 
to preserve the health and improve the education 
of those on whose behalf it was framed. ~ 

The Act for authorizing the grant of Govern- 
ment Annuities will encourage habits of prudence 
among the working classes, and will afford them 
the means of securely investing the results of their 
industry. 

The Act for authorizing a further advance for 
Public Works in some of the Manufacturing Dis- 
tricts will contribute to alleviate the distress in 
these districts, and will afford the means of com- 

leting many works of much importance for the 
frealth of the population. 

The Act for giving increased facilities for the 
Construction of Dalibegs will diminish the ex- 

penses

penses attendant upon the extension of those 
important channels of communication. 

t has afforded to Her Majesty the most heart- 
felt satisfaction to observe the general well-being 
and contentment which prevail throughout Her 
Dominions, and to remark the progressive increase 
and development of the National Resources, and to 
find that, after sufficiently providing for the Public 
Service, you have been able to make a material 
diminution in the Taxation of the Country. 

On returning to your respective Counties you 
will still have important duties to perform, essen- 
tially connected with the linking together of the 
several Classes of the Community ; and Her Ma- 
jesty fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty 
God may attend your exertions, and guide them 
to 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, 
and now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and 
in obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this Par- 
liament to Thursday the 13th day of October next, 
to be then here holden; and this Parliament is 
accordingly prorogued to Thursday the 13th day 
of October next.
