Commissioners, made a Speech to both Houses of 
Parliament, of which Mr. Speaker said he had, 
for [page 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. 

The negotiations in which the Emperor of 
Austria and the King of Prussia were engaged 
with the King of Denmark were brought to a 
conclusion by a Treaty of Peace; and the com- 
munications which Her Majesty receives from 
Foreign Powers lead Her to entertain a well- 
founded hope that no renewed disturbance of the 
Peace of Europe is to be apprehended. 

The Civil War in North America still un- 
happily continues. Her Majesty remains sted- 
fastly neutral between the contending parties, and 
— rejoice at a friendly reconciliation between 
them. 

A Japanese Daimio, in rebellion against his 
Sovereign, infringed the rights accorded by 
Treaty to Great Britain and to certain other 
Powers; and the Japanese Government having 
failed to compel him to desist from his lawless 
proceedings, the Diplomatic Agents and the Naval 
Commanders of Great Britain, France, the Nether- 
lands, and the United States of North America, 
undertook a combined operation for the purpose 
of asserting the rights which their respective 
Governments have obtained by Treaty. That 
operation has been attended with complete success ; 
and the result has afforded security for Foreign 
Commerce and additional strength to the Govern- 
ment of Japan, with which the relations of Her 
Majesty are friendly. 

Papers on this subject will be laid before you. 

Her Majesty regrets that the conflict with some 
of the: Native Tribes in New Zealand has not yet 
been brought to a close, but the successful efforts 
of Her Majesty's Regular Forces, supported by 
those raised in the Colony, have led to the sub- 
mission of some of the Insurgents; and those who 
are still in arms have been ilamel of the equitable 
conditions on which their submission would be 
accepted. 

Her Majesty has had great satisfaction in giving 
Her sanction to the meeting of a Conference of 
Delegates from Her several North American Pro- 
vinces, who, on invitation from Her Majesty’s 
Governor General, assembled at Quebec. Those 
Delegates adopted Resolutions having for their 
object a closer union of those Provinces under a 
Central Government. If those Resolutions shall 
be approved by the Provincial Legislatures, a Bill 
will be laid before you for carrying this important 
Measure into effect. 

Her Majesty rejoices at the general tranquillity 
of Her Indian Dominion; but Her Majesty 
regrets that long-continued outrages on the per- 
sons and property of Subjects of Her Majesty, 
and for which no redress could be had, have ren- 
dered it necessary to employ a Force to obtain 

B4+ satisfaction

for Address,

satisfaction for the past and security for the 
future. 
Her Majesty deeply laments the calamity which 
has recently occasioned great loss of life and pro- 
erty at Calcutta, and at other places in India. 
Poangt assistance was rendered by the Officers of 
the Government, and generous contributions have 
been made in various parts of India to relieve the 
sufferings which have thus been occasioned. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty has directed the Estimates for the 
ensuing = to be laid before you. 

They have been prepared with every attention 
to economy, and with due regard to the effi- 
ciency of the Public Service. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
the general condition of the Country is satis- 
factory, and that the Revenue realises its esti- 
mated amount. The distress which prevailed in 
some of the Manufacturing Districts has greatly 
abated, and the Act passed for the encourage- 
ment of Public Works in those Districts has been 
attended with useful results. 

Ireland during the past year has had its share 
in the advantage of a good Harvest, and Trade 
and Manufactures are gradually extending in that 
part of the Kingdom. 

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

Bills will be laid before you for the concen- 
tration of all the Courts of Law and Equity, 
with their attendant Offices, on a convenient site ; 
a Measure which Her Majesty trusts will pro- 
mote economy and despatch in the Administration 
of Justice. 

The important work for the Revision of the 
Statute Law, already carried to a considerable 
extent by recent Acts of Parliament, will be com- 
_— by a Bill that will be laid before you. 

ler Majesty hopes that this work may be a step 
towards the formation of a Digest of the Law. 

Bills will also be submitted for your considera- 
tion for the Amendment of the Laws relating to 
Patents for Inventions, and for conferring on the 
County Courts an equitable jurisdiction in causes 
of small amount. 

Your assistance will also be invited to give 
effect to certain Recommendations made to the 
House of Commons, after Inquiry directed by 
that House, into the operation of the Laws regu- 
lating the Relief to the Poor. 

A Bill will be laid before you founded on the 
Report of the Commission for inquiring into 
Public Schools; and Her Majesty has directed 
that a Commission shall be issued to inquire into 
Endowed and other Schools in England, which 
have not been included in the recent inquiries 
relating to popular Education. 

Her Majesty commits with confidence the 
great interests of the Country to = wisdom 
and care; and She fervently prays that the bless- 
ing of Almighty God — attend your councils, 
and may guide your deliberations to the attain- 
ment of the object of Her constant solicitude, the 
welfare and happiness of Her People. 


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

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing us 
that the negotiations in which the Emperor of 
Austria and the King of Prussia were engaged 
with the King of Denmark were brought to a con- 
clusion by ‘a Treaty of Peace; and humbly to 
express the gratification with which we learn that 
the communications which Her Majesty receives 














A. 1865. 


from Foreign Powers lead Her to entertain a well- 
founded hope that no renewed disturbance of the 
Peace of Europe is to be apprehended : 

Humbly to thank Her Uiajesty for informing 
us that She remains stedfastly neutral between 
the contending parties in the Civil War which still 
unhappily continues in North America; and to 
assure Her Majesty that with Her we should 
rejoice at a friendly reconciliation between them: 

To convey our thanks to Her Majesty for in- 
forming us that a Japanese Daimio in rebellion 
against his Sovereign, having infringed the rights 
accorded by Treaty to Great Britain and to certain 
other Powers, and that the Japanese Government 
having failed to compel him to desist from his law- 
less proceedings, the Diplomatic Agents and the 
Naval Commanders of Great Britain, France, the 
Netherlands, and the United States of North Ame- 
rica undertook a combined operation for the pur- 
pose of asserting the rights which their respective 
Governments had obtained by Treaty; and to 
express our hope that this operation, which has 
been attended with complete success, may by its 
result afford security for Foreign Commerce and 
additional strength to the Government of Japan, 
with which the relations of Her Majesty are 
friendly : 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for commanding 
Papers on this subject to be laid before us: 

To assure Her Majesty that we learn with 
regret that the conflict with some of the Native 
Tribes in New Zealand has not yet been brought 
to a close; and to thank Her Majesty for inform- 
ing us that the successful efforts of Her Majesty’s 
Regular Forces, supported by those raised in the 
Colony, have led to the submission of some of the 
Insurgents; and that those who are still in arms 
have been acquainted with the equitable conditions 
on which their submission would be accepted : 

To express our gratification at learning that 
under Her Majesty’s sanction, and at the invita- 
tion of Her Majesty’s Governor General, a Con- 
ference of Delegates from Her several North Ame- 
rican Provinces had assembled at Quebec. That 
those Delegates had adopted Resolutions having 
for their object a closer union of those Provinces 
under a Central Government, and that if those 
Resolutions shall be approved by the Provincial 
Legislatures, Her Majesty will cause a Bill to be 
laid before us for carrying this important Measure 
into effect : 

To assure Her Majesty that with Her Majesty 
we rejoice at the general tranquillity of Her In- 
dian Dominion, and to thank Her Majesty for 
informing us that long-continued outrages on the 
—— and property cf Subjects of Her Majesty 
naving occurred, for which no redress could be 
had, it became necessary to employ a Force to 
obtain satisfaction for the past and security for the 
future : 

Humbly to express to Her Majesty our regret 
at the calamity which has recently occasioned 
great loss of life and property at Calcutta and at 
other places in Jndia, and our trust that the prompt 
assistance rendered by the Officers of the Govern- 
ment, and the generous Contributions which have 
been made in various parts of India, may have 
relieved the sufferings which have thus been occa- 
sioned : 

To thank Her 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 : 

To assure Her oa A that we learn with gra- 
tification that the general condition of the Countr 


is satisfactory ; that the Revenue realises its esti- 
mated amount; that the distress which prevailed 
in some of the Manufacturing Districts has greatly 
abated, while the Act passed for the encourage-

America undertook a combined operation for the 
purpose of asserting the rights which their respec- 
tive Governments had obtained by Treaty; and

Sir Colman O’Loghlen reported from the Com- 
mittee appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned 
to the Lords for disagreeing to one of the Amend- 
ments made by their Lordships to the Bank- 
ruptcy and Insolvency (Jreland) Act Amendment 
Bill; That they had drawn up Reasons accord- 
ingly, which they had directed him to report to 
the House; and the same were read, as follow: 

The Commons agree to the Amendment in p. 1, 
1, 15. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p. 1, 1. 16, such Amendment being to leave out 
from the word * Adjudication” to the end of the 
Clause, for the following Reasons : 

Because it is certain that the Legislature, 

in passing the Bankruptcy Act, did not con- 
template the extension of the legal liability of 
the Shareholders of any Company that might 
be made bankrupt beyond the amount which, 
according to the constitution of the Company, 
the Shareholders were respectively liable to 
ray. 
’ Because, if the language of the Clauses of 
the Bankruptey Act is so ambiguous as to 
raise a doubt upon that point, a declaratory 
Act may properly be passed to remove that 
doubt. 

Because an Enactment declaring what was 
the undoubted meaning of the Act of 1857, 
is hardly open to the objection that it is 
ex post facto law. 

The Commons propose to amend the words added 
by the Lords at the end of Clause 2, by leaving 
out the words “ nor any Adjudication.” 

The Commons propose, as consequential Amend- 


‘ments, to amend the original Bill, by leaving out, 


in p. 1,1. 15, the word “already,” and also in lines 
15 and 16, the words “ the Proceedings under such 
Adjudication.” 

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. 


Resolved, That an humble Address be presented 
to Her Majesty, that She will be graciously pleased 
to give directions, that there be laid before this 
House, Returns of the Number of Civil Causes 
set down for Trial at the late Manchester Spring 
Assizes : Of the Number of Civil Causes

Of the Number disposed of otherwise than

Number struck out: Of the Number of Re- 
manets: And, of the Number of Days (exclu- 
sive of the Commission day and Sunday), given 
to the business of the Spring Civil Assizes in 
Manchester; and, on how many Days any extra 
Commissioner sat.

terrace, Strand, was, three years ago, appointed to 


act as Parliamentary Agent to Prince Azeem Jah, | 
by Poorooshottum Modelliar, a native agent of the | 


Prince in this country. Poorooshottum Modelliar 


having been recalled, Mr. Emerson Dawson came | 


to England from India, and thenceforth acted as 
agent for the Prince, under whom Mr. Strutt 
continues to hold his appointment. In virtue of 
such appointment, Mr. Strutt employed agents in 
various localities, and furnished them with money 
from time to time to get up Petitions in support of 
the Prince’s claims. 

Your Committee find, from the evidence of the 
Clerk to the Committee of Public Petitions, that 
the attention of that Committee was called to 
several of these Petitions, and there being strong 


grounds for suspecting them to be fictitious, they | 


made a Special Report on the subject to the 
House. 


Your Committee have satisfied themselves, from | 
the evidence of an Expert of great eminence, and | 


also from ocular inspection, that in 18 of the Peti- 
tions which have been presented from the following 
places, viz., Westminster; Pimlico; Saint Martin’s- 
in-the-Fields; Stratford; Saint John’s, Hackney ; 
Saint John’s, Hackney; City of London; City of 
London; Paddington; Westminster; Romford; 
City; Barnsbury; Holloway; Saint Mary, Isling- 
ton; Saint Marylebone; Saint Matthew, Bethnal- 
green; and Rochester; a concerted system of fraud 
has been perpetrated ; in some of them as many as 
one-half of the names appear to have been forged, 
and about one-third of the whole number fictitious; 
thus leaving open to grave suspicion the genuine- 
ness of the remainder, concerning which your 
Committee have not thought it necessary to take 
evidence. 

In the case of the Petitions from Westminster, 
Pimlico, Hackney, and City of London, to which 
the attention of your Committee has been more 
particularly directed, it has been proved that 
George Morris Mitchell was engaged by Mr. Strutt 
to procure signatures at a remuneration of 1 d. per 
signature, and that he was assisted in so doing by 
his clerk, Powell Marshal’, and hy Henry White- 
head. It has been proved that a great proportion 
of these signatures are forgeries; and among the 
number so forged are to be found the names of five 
officials of the Houses of Parliament, and of other 
persons, residing in their immediate vicinity, who 
appeared before your Committee and declared that 
they gave no authority for affixing their names, 
and that their names were so affixed without their 
knowledge. 

It appears that Mr. Strutt furnished to Mitchell 
a printed form of Petitions, and that to Petitions 
thus framed, while under the control of Mitchell, 
forged signatures were attached. The Expert 
having examined the 18 Petitions to which refer- 
enc? has been made, and “ carefully compared the 
signatures thereto attached with the genuine hand- 
writing of Mitchell as exhibited in a signature of 
the said Petition, and to two receipts for money, 
and to a letter purporting to have been written by 
Mitchell, marked A,” reports in the following 


opinion is, that the said George Mitchell has, by 


said signatures to the several Petitions.” The 


Expert also gives 34 forged names as being in the 
handwriting of Henry Whitehead, and a certain 


— and otherwise, written hundreds of the | 





affixed. Mitchell himself subsequently admitted 
that the signature was in his (Mitchells) hand- 
writing, but he alleged that it was written by Mr. 
Graham’s authority. 

Your Committee are further of opinion, and have 
resolved, after mature consideration of the whole 
of the Evidence, and a careful inspection of the 
signatures in question, 

1. That George Morris Mitchell has been 
guilty of the offence of fabricating many sig- 
natures to the above-mentioned Petitions, and 
of knowingly procuring other fabricated sig- 
natures thereto, and has therein committed 
a breach of the Privileges of this House. 

2. That Powell Marshall and Henry White- 
head have also, in concert with the said George 
Morris Mitchell, been guilty of the offence of 
fabricating signatures to several of the above 
Petitions, and have therein committed a breach 
of the Privileges of the House. 

It has not been proved to your Committee that 
Mr. Strutt was personally engaged in any of these 
frauds; but your Committee would nevertheless 
desire strongly to reprobate the mode which he 
adopted with Mitchell, of remunerating him at 1d. 
per signature for the signatures procured, as holding 
out temptation to the frauds which were afterwards 
committed, 

Your Committee have not considered it requisite 
to carry the investigation further throughout the 
whole of the 18 Petitions upon which suspicion has 
been cast, sufficient proof having been given of the 
complicity of the three persons named in regard to 
some of these Petitions more particularly referred 
to in the Report. No evidence has been given 
concerning the remaining Petitions in the Order 

of Reference, leading to the conclusion that a similar 
practice has prevailed with regard to them. 

Ordered, Vhat the Report be taken into consi- 
deration upon Thursday next; and be printed.

Bute Docks,

of Parliament, a Special Report from the Com- 
mittee on the Bill, relating to the transfer of bor- 
rowed stock for the purposes of Parliamentary 
deposit, was referred by the House to the Select 
Committee on Standing Orders, and that in their 
Report thereon occurs the following paragraph : 

“In the case referred to the Committee, it ap- 
pears 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 undertaking had ‘ previously invested’ any 

arts of their funds, or which in any sense could 
- considered as their own stock; but it was stock 
hired for the occasion from other parties wholly 
unconnected with the undertaking. It therefore 
appears clear to the Committee that this was not a 
deposit of stock authorized by the Act of Parlia- 
ment.” 

The Committee therefore consider that the facts 
above stated concerning the deposit in the Court 
of Chancery in the case of the Burton-upon- Trent 
and Nottingham Railway Bill constitutes an eva- 
sion of the securities provided by Parliament to 
insure the bond fide character of such undertakings, 
and they have resolved to submit the case for the 
consideration of the House.

Ordered, That the Committee on Group 9 of Birkenhead 

Railway Bills have leave to make a Special Report, ot} or 
. . y Bill 

so far as relates to the Birkenhead and Liverpool (special Re- 

Railway Bill. port. ) 

Mr. Rogers reported from the said Committee; 
That in the case of the Birkenhead and Liverpool 
Railway Bill, they had agreed toa Special Report, 
which they had directed him to make to the 
House; and the same was read, as followeth : 

That it appears from the evidence adduced 
before your Committee that, for the purpose of 
procuring the required deposit of eight per centum 
with the Court of Chancery on the estimated cost 
of the proposed undertaking, a loan of Exchequer 
Bills of the value of £.48,000 was obtained for 
that purpose from persons who were also clients of 
the solicitors for the Bill. No definite agreement 
was signed between the lenders and the Promoters 
of the Bill or their solicitors, but two letters were 
produced, one of which was signed by the Pro- 
moters named in the Bill, and addressed to the 
lenders, undertaking not to change the solicitor 
for the Bill until the Royal Assent had been 
given; the other requested the lenders to be ready 
the same day with the £.48,000 Exchequer Bills 
for deposit. 

The solicitor stated that no other written com- 
munication on the subject had passed between 
their clients and the lenders, but that the previous 
arrangement for the loan was a verbal one. 

That the solicitors had not been asked by, nor 
had promised to, the lenders of the deposit to 
withdraw the Bill in case of the deposit not being 
repaid, but that the lenders of the deposit were 
satisfied, as old clients of theirs, with an honourable 
understanding that the loan would be repaid in due 
course, 

The Committee feel that, although the House 
has not thought fit to make the Standing Orders 
more stringent than in the case of the Sheffield, 
Chesterfield and Staffordshire Railway Bill, upon 
which a Special Report was made last year, yet 
they would not be warranted in giving their sanc- 
tion without the approval of the House to such an 
arrangement for deposit as appears in this case 
to have been made. 

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

Sir John Hanmer reported from the said Com- 
mittee; That in the case of the said Bill, they 
had agreed to a Special Report, which they had 
directed him to make to the aoe and the same 
was read, as followeth : 

The Committee, having personally visited the 
Royal Observatory and inspected the locality, and 
having gone very carefully into the Evidence as 
to the effect of the proposed Railway on that 
building, and having had the assistance of the As- 
tronomer Royal and other scientific witnesses, 
who detailed the result of certain recent experi- 
ments made in Ireland, by their desire, with refer- 
ence to vibration, express their unanimous regret 
that they have felt it their duty to reject that por- 
tion of the Line which passes through Greenwich 
Park, as it would have been very useful to the 
Public; but, inasmuch as a Line was suggested by 
the Astronomer Royal as entirely unobjectionable 
(which Line is shown in blue on a plan signed by the 
Chairman and deposited in the Private Bill Office), 
they entertain a confident hope that the Promoters 
will be enabled, in the ensuing Session, to obtain 
the sanction of Parliament to that Line, and 
thereby to put all questions at rest between the 
Public and the Royal Observatory as to a better 
communication by Railway between Greenwich 
and Woolwich, now urgently demanded. 

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

the House; and that they have leave to make a 
Special Report. 

Mr. Alderman Salomons reported from the said 
Coramittee, as followeth : 

The Select Committee to whom the Metropolitan 
Toll-Bridges Bill, and the Chelsea Bridge Toll 
Abolition Bill were referred, and who were in- 
structed “ to inquire into the existing Tolls on 
Roads and Bridges within the Metropolis, and the 
best meansof abolishing them,” have considered the 
matters to them referred, and have agreed to the 
following Special Report: 

Your Committee have examined several Wit- 
nesses to give effect to the Instruction of the 
House, but being unable to come to any conclusion 


| 





considered the said Bills, and had agreed to the ee A 


following Special Report : 

Your Committee have examined Witnesses on the 
general questions raised by the Provisions con- 
tained in the two Bills committed to them, and have 
heard Evidence in support of the Chemists and 
Druggists Bill. 

Your Committee then passed the following 
Resolutions : 

Ist. That no compulsory examination or 
registration under the Bills referred to the 
Committee should be required of persons 
now carrying on the trade of Chemists and 
Druggists. 

2d. That the Bill do provide that no other 
person shall, after a day to be fixed by the 
Bill, sell certain dangerous drugs, to be sche- 
duled in the Bill, unless he shall be examined 
and registered. 

By the adoption of the second Resolution as an 
Amendment to a proposal that persons compound- 
ing medicines from the prescriptions of medical 
men should also be examined, your Committee 
decided against the principal Provision contained 
in the Chemists and Druggists Bill, and they 
accordingly resolved to proceed with the Chemists 
and Druggists (No. 2) Bill. 

After several Clauses of the Bill were passed, 
considerable difficulty arose in providing for the 
first formation of the Council to which the duty of 
regulating the examination of Chemists and Drug- 
gists was to be intrusted; and your Committee, 
considering the advanced period of the Session, 
were compelled to abandon the expectation of any 
useful result from a further consideration of the 
Bill. 

Having, therefore, disposed, pro formd, of the 
remaining Clauses, they came to the following Re- 
solution: 

That, inasmuch as there appears to be little 
money of any satisfactory termination to the 
abours of the Committee in the present Ses- 
sion, it is desirable that the Evidence, so far 
as it has been already taken, and the Pro- 
ceedings of the Committee, be reported to the 
House, accompanied by a recommendation 
that the Government should, early in the 
new Parliament, bring in a Bill on the sub- 
jects referred to the Committee. 

Your Committee have in conclusion to report, 
That, in their opinion, it is not expedient to pro- 
ceed further with either of the Bills which have 
been committed to them. 

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

Ordered, That the Bill, as amended, be printed.

Mr. Baring presented,—Return to an Order,

Return to an Order, dated the 12th day of this 
instant June, for a Return relative to the Tip- 
perary Police. 

Ordered, That the said Returns do lie upon the 
Table. 


Lord Robert Montagu reported from the Com- 
mittee appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned 
to the Lords for disagreeing to one of the Amend- 
ments made by the Lords to the Sewage Utiliza- 
tion Bill; That they had drawn up a Reason ac- 
cordingly, which they had directed him to report 
to the House; and the same was read, as fol- 
loweth: 

The Commons agree to the Amendment in p. 1, 
1, 15; but propose to amend the same, by inserting 
inl. 1, after the word “ not,” the words * with the 
exception of Clause 15.” 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 3, 1. 30, for the following Reason : 

Because the object of the Lords in insert- 
ing the new Clause A., |. 34, is doubtless to 
deter the pollution of rivers by sewaye; yet 
the alteration which has been made on p. 3, 
1. 30, seems’ not to be consonant with that 
intention. The pollution of a river by sew- 
age is generally caused by towns on its 
banks. Those towns very rarely stand 
in adjoining parishes. The limitation which 
has been introduced by the Lords would 
therefore prevent any proceedings from being 
taken in consequence of sewage’ pollution ; 
and the grievance of which towns now com- 
plain would in no way be alleviated. As the 
Commons fully concur in the wise intention 
with which the Lords inserted the new Clause, 
they are compelled to disagree to the Amend- 
ment on p. 3, 1. 30. 

The Commons agree to the subsequent” Amend- 
ments made by the Lords to the Bill. 

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

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


Mr. Monsell reported from the Committee on 
Group 25 of Railway Bills; ‘That in the case of the 
Bagenalstown and Wexford Railway Bill, they had 
examined the allegations contained in the Pream- 
ble of the Bill, and amended the same, by inserting 
the name of the Creditors’ Assignee who had been 
appointed since the Bill was presented; and by 
reciting that the Company had acquired posses- 
- Lands for the Railway under Agreements

Ordered, That the Select Committee on the Waterworks 
Waterworks Bill have leave to make a Special — 


Report; and that they have Power to report the 
Minutes of the Evidence taken before them to the 
House. 

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

From the Evidence taken by your Committee, 
it appears that the storing of water for manu- 
facturing and other purposes in large reservoirs 
is always dangerous, and that sometimes great 
loss of life and great destruction of property 
have been occasioned by accidents to such reser- 
voirs; and your Committee therefore deem it the 
duty of the Legislature to protect the public, as 
far as circumstances permit, from the possibility 
of such mischief; and in order to point out what 
in the opinion of your Committee ought to be the 
scope and object of legislation in this matter, they 
have agreed to submit to the House the following 
propositions : 

1. That in all cases in which it is proposed 
to construct a large reservoir, the undertakers 
shall submit to the Home Office or the Board 
of Trade, as may hereafter be determined, 
plans and sections of the site selected for such 
reservoir, and of the works to be erected, and 
also descriptions of the mode of construc- 
tion. 

2. That in all such cases it should be the 
duty of the Home Office or Board of Trade 
to send a competent person to such site, in 
order to verify and report upon such plans, 
and sections and descriptions. 

3. That it should be the duty of the Home 
Office or the Board of Trade to submit such 
plans, sections and descriptions, together with 
the observations of the person so sent, to any 
Select Committee appointed by either House 
of Parliament to consider any Bill by which 
powers are to be given to construct the con- 
templated works. 

4. That it shall be the duty of the Home 
Office or the Board of Trade to send some 
competent person to inspect and report upon 
the works that are being constructed, so that 
if there be any glaring deviation from the 
rules laid down either by any Private Act 
under which the reservoir inspected may be 
constructed, or by any general Act respecting 
waterworks that may be passed, the deviation 
may be made known to the Home Office or 
the Board of Trade. And it seems im- 
portant, in order that competent inspectors 
should be employed by the Government, that 
they should receive ample remuneration for 
their labour and services. 

5. That when any reservoir which has been 
inspected as above is completed, the under- 
takers shall be bound to give due notice of 
such completion to the Home Office or the 
Board of Trade. And that such reservoir 
shall not be filled with water until after the 








expiration 


No. 401. 


Dublin Police 
Fire Brigade 
Bill (1862), &amp;c. 


W 
ray

expiration of a specified time. And that 
during such time it shall be —— to the 
Home Office or the Board of Trade to pro- 
hibit the undertakers from allowing water to 
be let into such reservoir. But if, within the 
— time, no such prohibition be issued, 
then it may be competent to the undertakers 
to fill the reservoir with water. : 

6. And, further, your Committee having 

- found that large reservoirs have at times been 

allowed to decay and become dangerous, they 
would suggest that an adequate supervision 
over all large reservoirs should be maintained 
by the Home Office or the Board of ‘Trade, 
and to that end, from time to time competent 
persons should be sent to inspect and report 
upon such reservoirs. 

7. Your Committee do not intend to di- 
minish in any degree the responsibility of 
undertakers of waterworks, contemplated by 
the Bill referred to this Committee, to pay 
all such damage as may result from the water 
stored by them. In the opinion of your 
Committee the provisions by which such re- 
sponsibility is imposed on such undertakers 
should be stringent and completely unam- 
biguous. 

Your Committee believe that to give effect to 
their suggestions, by legislation, would require 
much care, time, and great consideration, which at 
this advanced period of the Session cannot be 
afforded to the subject. They, therefore, deter- 
mined to proceed no further with the consideration 
of the Bill referred to them. And thereupon 
your Committee came to the following Resolu- 
tion :— 

“That inasmuch as there appears to be no 
prospect of any adequate legislation upon the sub- 
ject submitted to the Committee during the 
present Session, they have resolved to report to 
the House the Evidence taken by them during 
their investigation of the matter, and to accompany 
that Evidence with a recommendation, that the 
Government should, early in the next Session of 
Parliament, bring in a Bill embodying the views 
submitted to the House by the Committee.” 

Your Committee have, therefore, in conclusion, 
to report, that in their om it is not expedient 
to proceed further with the Bill committed to 
them. 

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


A Petition of James Malley, of Sackville-street, 
in the City of Dublin, Solicitor, was presented, 
and read; setting forth, That the Petitioner has 
instituted legal proceedings in Jreland against 
Lawrence E. Knox, of the said City of Dublin, 
Esquire, for recovery of certain Sums of Money 
in relation to the promotion of the Dublin Police 
Fire Brigade Bill, and in opposing the Dublin 
Fire Brigade Bill, during the Session of 1862, and 
the Trial in relation to such legal proceedings will 
take place during the ensuing Assizes at the Town 
of Naas, in and for the County of Kildare; the 
Petitioner is advised and believes that it will be 
necessary to produce upon the said Trial certain 
Petitions presented to the House during said 
Session of 1862 in favour of and against said Bills 
respectively, purporting to have been signed by 
the said Lawrence E. Knoz ; and praying that the 
House will be pleased to direct that the proper 
Officer of the House may attend at the ensuing 
Assizes for the County of Kildare, and produce 
upon the Trial the said Petitions. 

Ordered, That leave be given to the proper 
Officer to attend accordingly.

A Motion was made, and the Question being Leeds Bank- 

proposed, That the Evidence taken before the ruptcy Court, 
Committee of this House on the Leeds Bankruptcy * 
Court discloses that a great facility exists for 
obtaining Public Appointments by corrupt means ; 
and that such Evidence, and also that taken before 
a Committee of the House of Lords in the case of 
Leonard Edmunds, and laid before this House, 
shows a laxity of practice and want of caution, on 
the part of the Lord Chancellor, in sanctioning 
the grant of Retiring Pensions to Public Officers 
over whose heads grave charges are impending, 
and in filling up the vacancies made by the retire- 
ment of such Officers, whereby great encourage- 
ment has been given to corrupt practices; and 
that such laxity and want of caution, even in the 
absence of any improper motive, are, in the opinion 
of this House, highly reprehensible, and calculated 
to throw discredit on the administration of the 
High Offices of State ; 

An Amendment was proposed to be made to 
the Question, by leaving out from the first word 
* That” to the end of the Question, in order to 
add the words “ this House, having considered the 
** Report of the Select Committee on the Leeds 
** Bankruptcy Court, and the Evidence taken by 
“ them, agrees with the Committee in the opinion 
* that the facts which are established acquit the 
** Lord Chancellor from all charge in the matters to 
‘** which it refers, except that of haste and want of 
“ caution in granting a Pension to Mr. Wilde; but 
** this House is of opinion that some further check 
‘should be placed by Law upon the grant of | 
** Pensions to the holders of Legal Offices,” instead 
thereof. 

And the Question being put, That the words 
proposed to be left out stand part of the Question: 
—It passed in the Negative. 

And the Question being proposed, That the 
words “ this House, having considered the Report 
** of the Select Committee on the Leeds Bankruptcy 
“ Court, and the Evidence taken by them, agrees 
* with the Committee in the opinion that the facts 
** which are established acquit the Lord Chancellor

‘is of opinion that some further check should be 
*‘ placed by Law upon the grant of Pensions to 
“the holders of Legal Offices,” be added instead 
thereof :—And a Debate arising thereupon ; 

And a Motion being made, and the Question 
being put, That the Debate be now adjourned ;

And the Question being put, That the words 
“ this House, having considered the Report of the 
“© Select Committee on the Leeds Bankruptcy Court, 
“and the Evidence taken by them, agrees with 
“«‘ the Committee in the opinion that the facts which 
‘“‘ are established acquit the Lord Chancellor from

“except that of haste and want of caution in 
“ oranting a Pension to Mr. Wilde; but this House 
“ is of opinion that some further check should be 
“ placed by Law upon the grant of Pensions to 
*‘ the holders of Legal Offices,” be added instead 
thereof :—It passed in the Negative. 

Another Amendment was proposed to be made 
to the Question, by adding, after the first word 
“ That,” in the Original Question, the words “ this 
“ House, having considered the Report of the 
“ Committee on the Leeds Bankruptcy Court, and 
“‘ the Evidence taken before them, are of opinion, 
“ that, while the Evidence discloses the existence 
* of corrupt practices, with reference to the ap- 
“ pointment of Patrick Robert Welch to the Office 
“of Registrar of the Leeds Bankruptcy Court, 
* they are satisfied that no imputation can fairly 
** be made against the Lord Chancellor with regard 
“to this appointment; and that such Evidence, 
* and also that taken before a Committee of the 
** Lords to inquire into the circumstances con- 
“ nected with the resignation by Mr. Edmunds of 
“the Offices held by him, and laid before this 
* House, show a laxity of practice and a want of 
* caution with regard to the public interests, on 
“ the part of the Lord Chancellor, in sanctioning 
* the grant of Retiring Pensions to Public Officers 
“ against whom grave charges were pending, which, 
*‘ in the opinion of this House, are calculated to 
** discredit the administration of his great Office.” 

And the Question being put, That those words 
be there added :—It was resolved in the Affirmative. 

Then the Main Question, so amended, being 

ut 5 

Resolved, That this House, having considered 
the Report of the Committee on the Leeds Bank- 
ruptey Court, and the Evidence taken before 
them, are of opinion, that, while the Evidence 
discloses the existence of corrupt practices, with 
reference to the appointment of Patrick Robert 
Welch to the Office of Registrar of the Leeds Bank- 
ruptcy Court, they are satisfied that no imputation 
can fairly be made against the Lord Chancellor 
with regard to this appointment; and that such 
Evidence, and also that taken before a Committee 
of the Lords to inquire into the circumstances con- 
nected with the resignation of Mr. Edmunds of 
the Offices held by him, and laid before this House, 
show a laxity of practice and a want of caution 
with regard to the public interests, on the part of 
the Lord Chancellor, in sanctioning the grant of 
Retiring Pensions to Public Officers against whom 
grave p Aal were pending, which, in the opinion 
of this House, are calculated to discredit the ad- 
ministration of his great Office.

And afterwards, a Speech of the Lords Commis- 
sioners was delivered to both Houses by the Lord 
President, 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 |: 


acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with 
which you have applied yourselves to the discharge 
of your duties in the Session now brought to a close. 

Ve are further commanded to inform you that 
as the present Parliament has now so nearly lasted 
the period assigned by Law for the duration of 
Parliaments, that you could not enter upon an- 
other yearly Session with advantage to the public 
interest, it is Her Majesty’s intention immediately 
to dissolve the present Parliament, and to issue 
Writs for the calling of a new one. 

But Her Mejesty cannot take leave of you with- 
out commanding us to express to you Her Ma- 
jesty’s deep sense of the zeal and public. spirit 
which, during the six years of your existence as a 
Parliament, you have constantly displayed in the 
discharge of important functions, and tendering to 
you Her Majesty’s warm acknowledgment for 
the many good measures which you have sub- 
mitted for Her acceptance, and which have greatly 
conduced to the diminution of the public burthens, 
and to the encouragement of the industry, to the 
increase of the wealth, and to the promotion of the 
welfare and happiness of Her Majesty’s People. 

We are commanded to inform you that Her 
Majesty’s relations with Foreign Powers are 
friendly and satisfactory, and She trusts that there 
are no questions pending which are likely to lead 
to any disturbance of the Peace of Europe. 


Her Majesty rejoices that the Civil War in 


North America has ended; and She trusts that 
the evils caused by that long conflict may be re- 
paired, and that prosperity may be restore in the 
States which have suffered from the contest. 

Her Majesty regrets that the conferences and 
communications between Her Majesty’s North 
American Provinces, on the subject of the union 
of those Provinces in a Confederation, have not 
yet led to a satisfactory result. Such a union 
would afford additional strength to those Pro- 
vinces, and give facilities for many internal im- 
provements. Her Majesty has received gratifying 
assurances of the devoted loyalty of Her North 
American subjects. 

Her Majesty rejoices at the continued tranquil- 
lity and increasing prosperity of Her Indian Do- 
minions; and She trusts that the large supply 
which those Territories will afford of the raw 
material of Manufacturing Industry, together with 
the termination of the Civil War inthe United States 
of North America, will prevent the recurrence of 
the distress which long prevailed among the Ma- 
nufacturing Population of some of the Northern 
Counties. 


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 to Her Majesty for the Ser- 
vice of the present year, and towards the permanent 
defence of Her Majesty’s Dockyards and Arsenals. 

The Commercial Treaty which Her Majesty 
has recently concluded with Prussia and the other 
States composing the German Commercial Union, 
has, by Her Majesty’s Commands, been laid before 


6° Julat. 








46 1 
you. Her Majesty trusts that this Treaty will 
contribute to the development of Commercial 
Relations between this Country and Germany, 
and will promote the interests of the several Coun- 
tries which are parties to it. 

Her Majesty commands us to assure you that 
Her attention will continue to be directed to all 
such measures as may be calculated to extend and 
to place on a sound footing the Trade between 
Her Majesty’s Dominions and Foreign Countries. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


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

The Act for rendering the expenses incurred 
for the support of the Poor chargeable upon the 
whole of a Union, instead of being confined to 
separate parishes, will diminish the hardship in- 
flicted upon the labouring Poor by reason of re- 
movals from parish to parish. 

The Partnership Amendment Act will tend to 
encourage the profitable employment of Capital. 

The Courts of Justice Building and Concen- 
tration Acts will, it is hoped, lessen the expense 
and shorten the duration of legal proceedings. 

The Clerical Subscription Act, founded on the 
recommendation of a Royal Commission, will re- 
move objections which have been felt to the num- 
ber and variety of the forms of Subscription and 
Declaration hitherto required of the Clergy. 

The management and discipline of Prisons will 
be improved by the Act for the consolidation and 
amendment of the Laws on that subject. 

The County Court Equitable Jurisdiction Act 
will give a useful extension to the Local Admi- 
nistration of Justice. 

The Act for consolidating: the Comptrollershi 
of the Exchequer with the Board of Audit will 
tend to increase the efficiency of the arrangements 
for auditing the Public Accounts. 

The Act for establishing the Record of Titles 
in Jreland will render more easy and secure the 
Transfer of Land. 

The Act for amending the Laws which govern 
the Constabulary Force in Ireland will tend to 
prevent the recurrence of such disorders as hap- 
pened last year at Belfast. 

The Colonial Naval Defence Act has removed 
restrictions which have hitherto prevented the Co- 
lonies from taking effectual measures for their own 
defence against attacks by sea. 

Her Majesty lias also gladly given Her assent 
to many other useful measures of less general im- 
portance. 

The Electors of the United Kingdom will soon 
be called upon again to choose their Representa- 
tives in Parliament; and Her Majesty fervently 
prays that the blessing of Almighty God may 
attend their proceedings, and may guide them 
towards the attainment of the object of Her Ma- 
jesty’s constant solicitude, the welfare and happi- 
ness of Her People. 


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


After which the Lord President said : 
My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


By virtue of Her Majesty’s Commission, under Parliament 
the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, prorogued, 


and now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and 
in obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this Par- 
liament to Wednesday the 12th day of July instant, 
to be then here holden; and this Parliament is 
accordingly prorogued to Wednesday the 12th day 
of July instant.
