Mr. Speaker reported, That the House had, this yjp, speaker

when Her Majesty was pleased to make, by Her —_* 
Chancellor, a most gracious Speech from the y 
Throne to both Houses of Parliament; of which 
Mr. Speaker said he had, for greater accuracy, 
obtained a copy ; which he read to the House, as 
followeth : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


I greet you cordially on your re-assembling for 
the discharge of your momentous duties. 

I have the satisfaction of maintaining relations 
of friendship with Foreign Powers throughout the 
world. 

You were informed, when I last addressed you, 
that steps had been taken to prepare the way for 
dealing more effectually with the Slave Trade on 
the East Coast of Africa. I have now despatched 
an Envoy to Zanzibar, furnished with such instruc- 
tions as appear to me best adapted for the attain- 
ment of the object in view. He has recently 
reached the place of his destination, and has 
entered into communication with the Sultan. 

My Ally, the German Emperor, who had under- 
taken to pronounce judgment as Arbiter on the 
line of Water-boundary so long in dispute under 
the terms of the Treaty of 1846, has decided, in 
conformity with the contention of the Government 
of the United States, that the Haro Channel pre- 
sents the line most in accordance with the true 
interpretation of that Treaty. 


B3 I have 


6 6th February. 


I have thought it the course most befitting the 
spirit of international friendship and the dignity 
of the Country to give immediate execution to the 
Award by withdrawing promptly from my partial 
occupation of the Island of San Juan. 

The proceedings before the Tribunal of Arbi- 
tration at Geneva, which I was enabled to prosecute 
in consequence of the exclusion of the Indirect 
Claims preferred on behalf of the Government of 
the United States, terminated in an Award which 
in part established and in part repelled the Claims 
allowed to be relevant. You will in due course 
be asked to provide for the payment of the sum 
coming due to the United States under this 
hueek 

My acknowledgments are due to the German 
Emperor, and likewise to the Tribunal at Geneva, 
for the pains and care bestowed by them on the 
peaceful adjustment of controversies such as could 
not but impede the full prevalence of National 
goodwill in a case where it was especially to be 
cherished. 

In further prosecution of a well-understood and 
established policy, I have concluded a Treaty for 
the Extradition of Criminals with My Ally the 
King of the Belgians. 

The Government of France has, during the 
Recess, renewed its communications with My 
Government for the purpose of concluding a Com- 
mercial Treaty to replace that of 1860, which is 
about to expire. In prosecuting these communi- 
cations, I have kept in view the double object of 
an equitable regard to existing circumstances and 
of securing a general provision, more permanent 
in its character and resting on a reciprocal and 
equal basis, for the commercial and maritime 
transactions of the two Countries. I hope to be 
enabled, within a short period, to announce to you 
the final result. 

It has been for some years felt by the Govern- 
ments of Russia and the United Kingdom respect- 
ively, that it would be conducive to the tranquillity 
of Central Asia if the two Governments should 
arrive at an identity of view regarding the line 
which describes the northern frontier of the 
Dominions of Afghanistan. Accordingly a Cor- 
respendence has passed, of which this is the main 
subject. Its tenour, no less than its object, will, I 
trust, be approved by the public opinion of both 
Nations. 

Papers will be laid before you with relation 
to the Awards delivered under the Treaty of 
Washington, to the commercial negotiations with 
France, and to the northern frontier of the Do- 
minions of Afghanistan. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


The Estimates of the coming Financial Year will 
be presented to you. They have been framed 
with a view to the efficiency and moderation of 
our Establishments, under circumstances of incon- 
venience entailed by variations of an exceptional 
nature in the prices of some important commodi- 
ties. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Although the harvest has been to some extent 
deficient, the condition of the Three Kingdoms 
with reference to Trade and Commerce, to the suf- 
ficiency of the Revenue for meeting the Public 
Charge, to the decrease of Pauperism, and to the 
relative amount of ordinary crime, may be pro- 
nounced generally satisfactory. 

A measure will be submitted to you on an early 
day for settling the question of University Educa- 
tion in Ireland. It will have for its object the 
advancement of learning in that portion of My 
Dominions, and will be framed with a careful 
regard to the rights of conscience.

1873. 


You will find ample occupation in dealing with 
other Legislative subjects of importance, which, 
for the most part, have already been under your 
notice in various forms and at different periods. 
Among these your attention will speedily be asked 
to the formation of a Supreme Court of Judica- 
ture, including provision for the Trial of Ap- 

eals. 
4 Among the measures which will be brought 
before you, there will also be proposals for facili- 
tating the Transfer of Land, and for the amendment 
of our system of Local Taxation, of certain pro- 
visions of the Education Act of 1870, and of the 





General Acts regulating Railways and Canals; 
together with various other Bills for the improve- 
ment of the-Law. 

I earnestly commend your deliberations to the 
guidance and favour of Almighty God.

Most Gracious Sovereign, 


We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal 
Subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of 
Great Britainand Ireland,in Parliament assembled, 
beg leave to convey to Your Majesty our thanks 
for the gracious Speech which Your Majesty has 
commanded to be made to both Houses of Parlia- 
ment. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for greeting 
us on our re-assembling for the discharge of our 
duties, and we assure Your Majesty that we rejoice 
to hear that Your relations of friendship with 
Foreign Powers throughout the world are unim- 

aired. 

We humbly thank your Majesty for informing 
us of the steps which have been taken for dealing 
more effectually with the Slave Trade on the East 
Coast of Africa.

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us of the decisions which have been given by the 
German Emperor, and by the Tribunal of Arbitra- 
tion at Geneva, with regard to the questions re- 
ferred to them. 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us of 
the course which Your Majesty has been pleased 
to take, and the provision which Your Majesty 
will ask to be made, in consequence thereof; and 
we concur with Your Majesty in acknowledging 
the pains and care which have been bestowed by 
the German Emperor, and likewise by the Tribu- 
nal at Geneva, on the peaceful adjustment of those 
controversies which had arisen between Your 
Majesty’s Government and the Government of the 
United States. 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
a Treaty for the Extradition of Criminals has been 
concluded with the King of the Belgians. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for the informa- 
tion which Your Majesty has given us with re- 
gard to the communications which have been 
renewed with the Government of France for the 
purpose of concluding a Commercial Treaty to 
replace that of 1860. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us of the Correspondence which has passed between 
the Governments of Russia and the United King- 
dom respectively, of which the main object has 
been to arrive at an identity of view regarding the 
line which describes the northern frontier of the 
Dominions of Afghanistan, and we assure Your 
Majesty that we join with You in trusting that 
its tenour, no less than its object, may be approved 
by the public opinion of both Nations. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that the Estimates of the coming Financial 
Year have been framed with a view to the efficiency 
and moderation of Your Majesty’s Establish- 
ments under present circumstances; and that, 
although the harvest has been to some extent 
deficient, the condition of the Three Kingdoms 
with reference to Trade and Commerce, to the 
sufficiency of the Revenue for meeting the Public 
Charge, to the decrease of Pauperism, and to the 
relative amount of ordinary crime, may be pro- 
nounced generally satisfactory. 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that we will 
give our earnest attention to the measure which 
will be submitted to us for settling the question of 
University Education in Jreland, as well as to the 
other proposals which will be laid before us.

Complaint being made to the House by Mr. 
Eustace Smith, 2 Member of this House, of 
paragraphs in a printed Book, intituled “ Our 
Seamen: An Appeal, by Samuel Plimsoll, M.P.,” 
as containing statements impugning the character 
of certain Members of the i and threatening 
further exposure, in order to influence their con- 
duct in Parliament, in breach of the Privileges of 
this House; and Mr. Plimsoll being in his place, 
the Book was delivered in, and the paragraphs 
complained of were read, as follow :— 

* You must remember large fortunes are being 
made by them; they are the most energetic and 
pushing men in the trade, and it should not be 
matter of surprise if three of them had even got 
into Parliament (remember Sadleir and Roupel 
were both in Parliament). 












1873. 


* Now I don’t want to say a single word dis- 
respectful to Parliament; it has been a matter of 
constant surprise to me, since I became acquainted 
with the amount of work a Member has to do, 
that so many men of ample means should be 
willing to devote their whole time in the best part 
of the year to gratuitous labour, all of them too 
(but two or three) men of high character and 
humane feeling ; but, nevertheless, owing to the 
fact that two or three of what they call in the 
North ‘the greatest sinners in the trade’ having 
got into the House, it is there, and there only, that 
opposition to reform is to be expected, or is 
found. 

‘Without mentioning names perfectly well 
known in the sea-ports, 1 will give you an idea of 
what I mean. 

“In the year 1870, when my Bill was before the 
House the first time, the evening appointed for 
the Second Reading arrived. I was standing in 
the Lobby, when a Member accosted me thus :— 
‘Do you expect your Bill will come on to night ?’ 

*¢* Yes, I hope so,’ I said. 

“ He said, ‘I am sorry for that, as I have a 
dinner engagement; but I should not like to be 
absent.’ 

«1 think you should not be absent,’ was my 
reply. 

“«* Why ?’ said he, sharply. 

*** Because,’ I said,‘I may have to tell the 
House of a man, whose name you will hear in any 
coffee room or exchange in Yarmouth, Hull, Scar- 
borough, Whitby, Pickering, Blythe, Shields, New- 
castle, Sunderland, or any port on the north-east 
coast, as one notorious for excessive and habitual 
overloading, and a reckless disregard for human 
life, who has lost seven ocean-going steamers, 
and drowned more than a hundred men, in less 
than two years, and whose name I have myself 
seen as one of those whose ships insurance brokers 
at Lloyd’s at length warrant the Underwriters they 
will not ship goods in, before the Underwriters 
will take a line upon them, and I may have to tell 
the House that that man is the Member for —.’ 

“T thought the man would have fainted. He 
answered never a word. 

“Now he had put on the paper a notice to 
move an amendment to the Second Reading of 
my Bill, viz., that it be read a second time that day. 
six months. Every Member knows that if such 
a purpose is abandoned, it is only necessary for 
the Member who has given notice of the amend- 
ment, to absent himself, or to sit still when his 
turn comes to speak,—that is all. 

«Some twenty minutes after this interview (and 
another 1 shall speak of soon), I was in my place 
ina state of strong excitement, because I had just 
made two powerful enemies. I felt utterly alone 
in my work, and so sick with excitement and fear, 
that I was compelling myself to think of the poor 
widows I had seen to keep up my courage, when 
a hand was put upon my shoulder. Much startled, 
I looked round, and there stood this man, with a 
face like that of a dead man, and this is what he 
said :— 

« «Mr, Plimsoll, I have been to Mr. Palgrave, 
and taken my notice off the paper.’ 

“ Why didhe go to Mr. Palgrave? Why did he 
trouble to tell me he had done so? 

“The Bill came on too late that night for con- 
sideration, and was put forward; and when, early 
next day, I looked at the fresh issue of the Order 
Book, and looked amongst Notices relating to 
Orders of the Day, that Notice of Amendment 
was not there. 

“ T may say here that the Bill, though frequently 
put down afterwards, never did come on that Ses- 
sion owing to the dreadful avaste of the time of 
the House by incessant speech-making of Members 


who cannot really speak, but don’t know it.

** Those who can’t, and do know it, seldom ad- 
dress the House but when they feel it is their 
plain duty. 

« After turning away from the Member I have 
referred to I encountered another, and told him 
that I thought he would do well to stay, because 
it was probable that I should refer to a case of a 
spar-decked ship being sent to Cronstadt in No- 
vember with a cargo of iron, nearly twice as many 
tons as her register tonnage, with her main deck be- 
tween two and three feet under the water line. He 
threatened me with an action for libel if I did; 
but the voters of Derby had made me strong enough 
to defy him. He said I had no right to name a 
matter relating toa Member without giving him 
notice. I reminded him that I was then giving him 
notice. He said he would not take it; and finally, 
with a dark and deadly look, said, if I dared to 
allude to the case I must take the consequences. 
I was obliged to tell him that my duty was plain, 
and as to the consequences, I thought he was 
likely to take his share of them with me. 

«¢ You will see, therefore, that I had sufticient 
reason for the agitation I was in when the first 
Member made the astonishing and unnecessary (!) 
announcement that he had been to Mr. Palgrave, 
and had taken his Notice off the Paper. 

**In 1871, when I brought in my Bill a second 
time, it was most anxiously debated by me with 
myself whether or no I should allude to these 
cases. Hoping to succeed without doing so, I did 
not allude to them in my opening speech, and of 
course was then precluded from doing so in my 
reply, and these two men actually took advantage 
of this omission to speak against the Bill, and 
put up another Member, who would I am afraid, 
find it very embarrassing to answer some questions 
that might be put to him. (I recommend those 
gentlemen to be more discreet next Session, if 
they wish to preserve their incognito. )” 

A Motion was made, and the Question was pro- 
posed, That to accuse, ina printed book, Members 
of this House of grievous offences, and to threaten 
them with further exposure if they take part in 
its Debates, is conduct highly reprehensible, and 
injurious to the honour and dignity of this House: 

Whereupon Mr. Plimsoll was heard in his place, 
and stated that he was deeply concerned that any 
language that he had used could be deemed dis- 
respectful to the House, and that for his uninten- 
tional fault he tendered to the House the sincere 
expression of his regret, and desired to make 
the most ample and complete apology ; and then 
he withdrew. 

And the said Motion was, with leave of the 
House, withdrawn. 


The Prevention of Crime Bill was, according to 
Order, read a second time; and committed to a 
Committee of the whole House, for Thursday 
next. ,

N 1 R. Tomline reported from the Committee on 
‘A Group B. of Private Bills; That, in the 
case of the Buxton Local Board Bill, they had | 
examined the allegations contained in the Pre- 
amble of the Bill, and amended the same by 
striking out the reference to the Slaughter Houses, 
and by reducing in consequence the proposed Es- 
timates, in order to make the same consistent with 
the provisions of the Bill as sanctioned by the 
Committee, and found the same, as amended, to 
be true; and that a Report from the Local Go- 
vernment Board, in respect of the said Bill, had 
been considered by them, that with reference to 
the recommendation contained in the said Report, 
that the period for paying off the debt should be 
reduced from fifty to thirty years, the Commit- 
tee had disagreed therefrom, the district being 
small, and the rates too high for it to bear should 
the debt be required to be paid off in thirty 
years; and that they had gone through the Bill, | 
and made Amendments thereunto. | 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the

Macartney, Esquire, complaining of an undue Re- 
turn at the last Election for the Contes of Tyrone. 

Sir, 

I have the honour to report that, on the special 
application of the Petitioner, made to me as the 
senior Judge on the rota for the Trial of Election 
Petitions in Jreland, in and at the prescribed man- 
ner, time, and place, the said Petition was with 
my leave withdrawn, and that in my opinion the 
withdrawal of such Petition was not the result of 
any corrupt arrangement or in consideration of the 
withdrawal of any other Petition. 

And that neither before or on the said applica- 
tion did any person whomsoever apply to be sub- 
stituted as Petitioner in place of the said William 
Ellison Macartney. I have the honour further 
specially to report for the information of the House 
of Commons : 

That the Petitioner by his said Petition (a com- 
pared Copy of which is now transmitted, and to 
the statements in which I refer) complained that 
the Returning Officer had rejected the Votes of 
187 Voters, on the ground that their Voting Papers 
had on them “ certain written figures or numbers, 
some in pencil and some in writing, other than the 
printed number required by the statute,” and by 
means of which it was alleged the Voter could be 
identified; and the Petitioner alleged that but for 
the rejection of said Votes he had the majority, 
and should have been returned at said Election. 

On the 12th of May last an application was 
made to me, as the Judge in said Petition matter, 
on behalf of the said Petitioner, for liberty to in- 
spect the said rejected Ballot Papers, then in a 
sealed parcel in the custody of the Clerk of the 
Crown and Hanaper. Being satisfied by evidence 
on oath that such inspection was bond fide re- 
quired for the purposes of the said Petition, I 
ordered that the said Petitioner and the sitting 
Member, with their law agents, should be at liberty 
to inspect said rejected Ballot Papers in the pre- 
sence of the Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper, but 
should not be permitted to see the printed number 
on the back of any of the said Ballot Papers. 

In compliance with that order the Clerk of the 
Crown and Hanaper opened said sealed parcel, 
and permitted said parties to inspect said rejected 
Ballot Papers, but took special precaution to pre- 
vent any one seeing or becoming acquainted with 
the printed numbers on any of said papers. 

In consequence of the withdrawal of said Pe- 
VoL. 128, 


tition no evidence was laid before me as to when, 
or by whom, or under what circumstances, or with 
what purpose, such written numbers were put on 
said Ballot Papers; but it was stated before me, 
and I believe with accuracy, that the written num- 
ber so placed on each Ballot Paper corresponded 
with the number of each particular Voter on the 
Baronial Register of Voters for said County. 

If the said Petition had been prosecuted, it 
would, in all probability, have been my duty, on 
the application of either party, to have ordered 
that the sealed packet of counterfoils should be 
opened, and the counterfoils of said rejected Ballot 
Papers inspected, with a view to ascertain the 
names of the individual Voters, and whether this 
written number on the Voting Paper corresponded 
with the number of the Voter on the County Re- 
gister, or was such as that by it the Voter could 
be identified, and with the further object of having 
the Voters examined as witnesses as to their know- 
ledge, if any, how said written numbers came to 
be put on said Voting Papers, and whether at the 
time of voting they were respectively aware of 
said written numbers being on their said respective 
Voting Papers. 

I have deemed it expedient to report said mat- 
ters specially as indicating that a course may be 
— at any Election leading to the practical 
disfranchisement of Voters, and rendering neces- 
sary the invasion of that secrecy of voting which 
the Statute (35 and 36 Vic. c. 33), seems to com- 
mand. 

It is at best doubtful whether that Act provides 
any adequate remedy against the evils which may 
arise under such a state of circumstances. 

I have the honour to be, 
Your faithful Servant, 
J. D. Fitz Gerald, 

Third Justice of the Queen’s Bench, and 
Senior Judge on the Rota for the Trial 
of Election Petitions in the present 
year (1873).

ments made by their Eaolohies to the Railway 
and Canal Traffic Bill; That they had drawn up 
Reasons accordingly, which they had directed him 
to report to the House; and the same were read, 
as follow : 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment 
made by the Lords, in p. 11, 1. 3, for the following 
Reasons : 

1. Because it would give rise to vexatious 
and costly litigation, which could be made 
use of to render the Bill inoperative. 

2. Because the Commissioners themselves may 
be relied on to state a case for the opinion 
of a Court of Law whenever any question 
of Law arises of sufficient importance to 
render an appeal desirable. 

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 disagree to the omission of Clause

Because it would extend the exemptions of 
the Act to the whole period of hay, corn,

a dead letter during three or four months of 
the year, while it would not exempt from 
the provisions of the Act children who are 
employed in gathering fruits and vegetables,

The Commons believe that the case of corn 
harvest, and very generally also that of hop 
gathering, will be met, without any trouble 
on the part of the employers, by sub-section

The Lord Advocate reported from the Com- Law Agents 
mittee appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned (Scotland) Bill, 
to the Jords for disagreeing to certain of the 
Amendments made bv their Lordships to the Law 
Agents (Scotland) Bill; That they had drawn up 
Reasons accordingly, which they had directed him 
to report to the House; and the same were read, 
as follow : 

‘The Commons disagree to Clause A, 

Because it is expedient and of public advan- 
tage that one uniform system for the admis- 
sion of Law Agents should be established, 
and although a due regard to existing in- 
terests may require that the right to prac- 
tise as Law Agents heretofore enjoyed by 
persons now holding the office of Writer to 
the Signet should be continued to them, as 
it is by the Biil, such regard for existing 
interests does not require, and it would be 
contrary to the principle and policy of the 
measure to enact that persons who may 
hereafter be appointed to that office shall 
be admitted as Law Agents without com- 
plying with the conditions prescribed for 
all others. 

The Commons disagree to Clause B, 

Because the proposed Clause is at variance 
with the principle of the measure which it 
is important to maintain, and which ought 
not to be departed from in favour of one 
Society, while it is, on public grounds, 
strictly enforced against others. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments 
made by the Lords in ‘page 6, line 40, 

Because it is inexpedient to diminish the 
period of seven years by deducting there- 
from the period that may elapse between 
the passing of the Act and the application 
for admission. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment made 
by the Lords in page 7, line 4, ; 

Because one year is a sufficiently long period 
to allow for applications to be admitted, 
exceptionally, under the provisions of this 
Clause. P 

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. 


Mr. Childers reported from the Select Com- civil Services 
mittee on Civil Service Expenditure; That they Expenditure 
had made further Progress in the matters to them ‘ No. 388

Mr. Adam reported from the Committee ap- 


(Scotland) Bull. pera to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the 


ords for disagreeing to certain of the Amend- 
ments made by their Lordships to the Convey- 
ancing (Scotland) Bill; That they had drawn up 
Reasons accordingly, which they had directed him 
to report to the House; and the same were read, 
as follow: 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
page 1, line 19, for the following Reason : 

Because the several interpretations are, in 
the opinion of the Commons, accurate and 
useful for the construction of the provisions 
of the Bill. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
page 3, line 16, for the following Reason: 

Because the language of Clause 4 appears to 
the Commons to express more appropriately 
than the words employed in Sub-section 1 
of the Amendment the provisions intended 
to be thereby made. 

The Commons disagree to Clause (A.) for the 
following Reason : 

Because it is not according to the policy of 
the Bill to interfere with the rights hine 
inde of presently existing vassal corpora- 
tions and their superiors in the matter of 
casualties, whether these stand on the rules 
of law or on special stipulation; and with 
respect to corporations to whom land may 
be hereafter conveyed, their liabilities are 
properly left to be governed by the con- 
tracts made with them. The proposed Clause 
would greatly extend the liabilities of vassal 
corporations and the corresponding rights 
of their superiors as these are now fixed by 
law. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
Clause 8, for the following Reason: 

Because in the opinion of the Commons the 
purpose of the Clause (which is apparently 
approved of by the Lords) will be more 
certainly and satisfactorily attained without 
the proposed Amendments. 

The Commons disagree to the omission of Clause 
10, and the insertion of Clause (D.), for the fol- 
lowing Reason : 

Because Clause 10 provides a safe and effi- 
cient mode of completing a title in the 
case to which it relates. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
page 6, line 2, for the following Reason : 

Because it appears to the Commons that ten 
years following upon open and peaceable 
possession on a recorded title is a suffi- 
ciently long period of prescription to ex- 
clude challenge of a party’s right to an 
estate as heir, provided the ancestor’s right 
is admitted or established. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
page 6, line 8, for the following Reason : 

Because the common and nearly invariable 
case is that an heir enters of the date of 
his ancestor’s death, and not of the date of 
recording his own title. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
page 10, line 18, for the following Reason: 

Because the forms set out in Clause 22, and 

in the relative Schedule, are in accordance 

with the provisions and principle of the 

Bill, and are, in the opinion of the Com- 

mons, superior to those prescribed by the 

Act referred to in the few sed Amend- 

ment, the provisions of whic 

Vor. 128. 





were framed | 





37 Vicrortia. 30th—S31st July. 409 


without reference to such simplifications of 
the system of conveyancing as are intended 
to be effected by the present Bill 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
page 17, for the following Reason: 

Because in the opinion of the Commons it is 
not necessary or expedient that the office of 
Sheriff of Chimenes and relative offices 
should be longer retained. 

The Commons disagree to the omission of Sche- 
dule (B) for the following Reason : 

Because this Schedule is necessary in re- 
spect of Amendments made by this House 
to the Amendments made by the Lords. 

The Commons disagree to the omission of Sche- 
dule (C.) and the insertion of another Schedule 
(C.), but propose to amend the same. 

The Commons disagree to the omission of Sche- 
dules (D.) and (H.), for the following Reason : 

Because these Schedules are referred to in 
Clauses which the Commons propose to 
restore 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. 


Ordered, That the Select Committee on the Civil Service 
Civil Service Writers have Power to report their Writers. 
Observations thereupon to the House; together No. 370. 
— the Minutes of the Evidence taken before 
them. 

Mr. Otway reported from the said Committee ; 

That they had considered the matters to them re- 
ferred, and directed him to make a Report thereof 
to the House; together with the Minutes of the 
Evidence taken before them, and an Appendix. 

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


Mr. Campbell-Bannerman presented a Bill to yititia Pay 
explain the Militia Pay Acts 1868 and 1869: And Acts Amend- 
the same was read the first time; and ordered to ™e™* Bill. 
be read a second time ‘I'o-morrow; and to be _ Bill 273.

up Reasons according 
him to report to the 
read, as follow: 

1. Because by The Annual Turnpike Acts 
Continuance Act, 1872, sect. 15, power is 
given to a highway board, and the trus- 
tees of a turnpike road within or passing 
through a highway district, mutually to 
agree that the highway board shall take 
upon themselves the maintenance and 
repair of such turnpike road, or so much 
thereof as is within their district, and that, 
thereupon, the Highway Board should 

the debt on the said turnpike, or 
such.sum, by way of composition for such 
debt as the Local Government Board may, 
after inquiry, determine; and where the 
turnpike is not wholly within the highway 
district, such sum as the Local Govern- 
ment Board may determine as an equitable 
proportion of such debt, or in composition 
for the same. 

2. Because, having regard to the policy of the 
Legislature in relation to the discontinu- - 
ances of turnpike trusts, it is desirable that 
every reasonable facility should be given 
to highway authorities to take upon them- 
selves, as early as possible, the remaining 
turnpike roads. 

3. Because the section of the Act of the last 
Session, which has been quoted, has proved 
to be inoperative in consequence of the 
objection of turnpike trustees to enter 
into agreements with highway boards for 
the transfer of the turnpikes within their 
districts.

Produce of the Sale of Old Stores; 2nd. The 
Proportions of such Amounts paid in by each De- 

artment; 3rd. A description of the Articles Sold

General do prepare, and bring it in.

Ordered, That the Amendments made by the Salmon Fishery 
Lords to the Salmon Fisheries Bill, be now taken

4. Because, by dispensing with the necessity 
of consent on the part of the Turnpike 
Trustees, the Bill, by the sections omitted, 
would enable Highway Boards desirous of 
taking upon themselves the management 
of the turnpike roads in their district to 
do so; whilst at the same time, by empower- 
ing a responsible department of the Go- 
vernment to adjust the liabilities of the 
trust, the same sections would insure that 
the interests of the creditors would be 
protected. 

5. Because, by the Act of the last Session, as 
by the present Bill, the Local Govern- 
ment Board are required, before deter- 
mining the amount of compensation to be 
awarded by them, to hold an inquiry at 
which, according to the invariable practice 
of the Board, all parties interested would 
have a right to attend and be heard; but 
if this is not considered a sufficient pro- 
tection, a proviso has been added to 
Clause 15, rendering the order of the 
Local Government Board provisional, only 
until confirmed by Parliament, -if two- 
thirds in number and value of the creditors 
object to it. 

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. 


Mr. Adam presented a Bill to amend and con- 
solidate the Law of Evidence: And the same was 
read the first time ; and ordered to be read a second 
time upon Tuesday next; and to be printed. 


Ordered, That the Amendments made by the 
Lords to the Metropolitan Tramways Provisional 
Orders Bill be taken into consideration this day, 
at Two of the clock. 


And then the House, having continued to sit 
till a quarter of an hour before Two of the 
clock on Friday morning, adjourned till 
this day.

427 


by the Lord High Chancellor, in pursuance of Her 
Majesty’s Command, as followeth : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


I am now released from the necessity of calling 
upon you for the further prosecution of your ardu- 
ous occupations. 

In bidding you farewell for the Recess, I make 
it my first duty to thank you for the loyal prompti- 
tude with which you have made further provision 
for my Son the Duke of Edinburgh on the occasion 
of his approaching Marriage ‘with the Grand 
Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia. 

This Marriage will, I trust, form a new tie of 
amity between two great Empires. 

The best relations continue to subsist between 
Myself and all Foreign Powers. 

i am able to announce the successful termination 
of the Mission to Zanzibar, made known to you at 
the beginning of the Session. Treaties have been 
concluded with the Sultan of Zanzibar, with the 
Imaum of Muscat, and with other Native Powers, 
which will provide means for the more effectual 
repression of the Slave Trade on the Kast Coast 
of Africa. 

I have been enabled to bring to a satisfactory 
issue the Commercial Negotiations with France, 
in which my Government has been for some time 
engaged. Under the provisions of an Instrument 
signed on the 23rd of July, and awaiting ratifica- 
tion, the Treaties of 186 are again put in force, 
with a comprehensive engagement contracted be- 
tween the two Countries for mutual treatment on 
the footing of the most favoured Nation ; and the 
differential Tax on the British Flag has been re- 
moved. Separate provisions are contained in the 
Treaty for the adjustment of the question of 
Mineral Oils, and otherwise for the relief and 
extension of Trade. 

I have likewise concluded Treaties of Extra- 
dition with Italy, Denmark, Sweden, and Brazil. 
The ratifications of the two last-named Treaties 
have not yet been exchanged, but I anticipate no 
difficulty in this final step; and I am engaged 
in negotiations for agreements of a similar cha- 
racter with other States both in Europe and 
beyond it. 

I am still occupied in giving effect to those pro- 
visions of the Treaty of Washington which relate 
to British Claims against the Government of the 
United States, and to the interests of My Posses- 
sions in orth America. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I am very sensible of the liberality with which 
you have provided for the various charges of the 
State; and have likewise enabled Me promptly to. 
meet the obligations imposed upon Me by the 
Award of the Arbitrators at Geneva during the 
past year. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


I have observed with satisfaction the progress 
you have been enabled to make in the remission 
of public burdens by reducing both the Sugar 
Duties and the Income Tax to points lower than 
any at which they have previously stood. 

The Act for the establishment of the Supreme 
Court of Judicature forms a distinguished record 
of your persevering labour, and will be found, as 
I hope, to confer corresponding benefits on the 
Country in the more cheap, certain, expeditious, 
and effectual administration of justice. 

The Acts for the Amendment of the Education 
Act, 1870, and of the Endowed Schools Act of 
1869, will, as I trust, tend to accelerate the attain- 
ment of solid national advantages through the 
extension of education both in the middle and the 





most numerous classes of the community. 
312 The 





428 5th August. 1878. 


The Act relating to the Regulation of Railways 
and Canals promises to conduce to the more har- 
monious working of the Railway system of the 
Country. 

I have with pleasure assented to the Act relat- 
ing to Merchant Shipping, from which, and from 
the labours of the Commission recently appointed, 
I hope for a diminution of the risks to which the 
seafaring population are exposed. 

The Reviens has, up to this time, fully an- 
swered My expectations; and, although the acti- 
vity of trade in some of its branches may have been 
somewhat restrained by a variety of causes, the 
general condition of the people continues to exhibit 
evidences of improvement. 

These and all mercies of Divine Providence 








will, I trust, find their suitable acknowledgment 
alike in our words and in our hearts. 


Then a Commission for proroguing the Parlia- Partisment E 
ment was read. Prorogued, — 


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 Wednesday the Twenty-second day of 
October next, to be then here holden; and this 
Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Wednes- 
day the Twenty-second day of Sctober next,
