PUBLIC lTEALTU ACTS AMEDMENT PILL. This Bill, aa amended, was considered. On Clause IS. Mr. J.

R. KELLY moved an amendment providing that before a road it taken over 1 a local authority it should 1 properly metalled atxi sewered. He said that up to the present time ViO owner of any private road had been able to cast upon hia fellow ratepayers the burden of making the sewering, curbing, metalling and laying the road. It was proposed. now to fual lo tim to" do so.

It must be" atparent to everybody, that "such an alteration in the law would open a door to endless jobbery. It would be objected, he knew, that the Bill waa permissive in its character but if the provision in tie Pill was tight let the Legislature say tbat the local authorities should do all those things. Vhat the House had to guard against waa jobbery in these local boards. Nothing would be more dangcroua than to aay that, although builders had had to pav for all these matter, hitherto, lrom this time forth, it should be possible for. every speculative builder to throw the whole burden open the ratepayers.

Mr. RITCHIE raid that anyone who listened to the hon. gentleman would imagine that all town councils ami local boards were iled with men whose main it was to give encouragement to the speculative builder. It was quite obvious that to insist on all 'tU'se various operations being performed would be to insist on things being done which were wholly unnecessary in the ease of many roads. It was no new matter for Parliament to deal with this particular uution, for there was a provision in a private Bill which pased the House of Commons in It! Mi exactly analogous to the proposal now made in this Pill.

All that the clause proposed to do was to give to town councils, and local authorities the power of saying whether all these provisions should re carried out, am, if not all, which should be and which should not. It was impracticable for the Local Government Board was not only for misconduct and negligence, but abso lutely at tuc discretion ol tLe police autfiority, The amendment was withdrawn. SIR G. CAMPBELL moveJ an amendment, the effect The amendment wa. agreed to.

ROLLIT said matter, for example, of licensing appeals there waa a degree of feeling between the borough magistrates sad the county quarter sessions (Opposition cheers) wunu rn uc gufc iiu oi inixie lnicresis oi totn parties. The difficulty at the worst was only a technical one, and it would obviously he to tho interests of a joliceman that ho should be alle to appeal at once to a body which wa readily accessible, and which would deal out substantial justice.

Mr. SINCLAIR, as a magistrate of Liverpool, also apjealcd to the Government to make some concession in this matter. The SOLICITOR GENERAL submitted that hon. member, failed to see what the real question was. If there waa an appeal at all it must be an appeal to a Court, to a body which had rower and machinery to deal with it.

It was perfectly 'intelligible that aa appeal should be to the Court of Quarter Sessions, but in a boroogh which had no Court of Quarter Sessions tho borough justice, did not form any court at all, and haJ no meana of forming a court. There wa. no Court to which an appeal could be taken, ami it would take an Act of Parliament to form borough magistrate, into a specific court in order to deal with thia matter. Mr. Gouklzt ami Dr.

Clakk supported the amendment. The House divided, and the numbers were For the amendment 74 Against 116 Majority against 12 On Clause 13, which provides that a constable's pension mair be suspended if he takes employment in another police force, and that if a constable takes employment paid for by Government, or out of a county or boronch rate, he shall not receive more pension than shall, together with the pay of his employment, amount to one and a half times hi. police full pay, Mr. VINCENT moved the omission of the clause. A.

to the Cnt part, he said there was not much objection, but as to the second part, be thought it put a premium upon idleness. It would actually prevent a' pensioned oliceman taking charge of an empty house which belonged to a county council. SIR 0. CAMPBELL could hardly believe the bon. proposing me amendment, ids was applied to all branches of litit Jf i ,1 when the question waa whether the police a very limited class of men only, otherwise the mI1.wi,; h.j en rirht in refusing a rension.

he remarka of the bon. gentleman would have great force. Dr. CLARK thoagbt the pensioa ought to be proportionate to the time served, and if a man had served three fifth, of bis time he ought to have three fifth, of his pension. 5 SIR G.

TREVELYAN said his hon. friend did not seem to have appreciated that the clause only applied to men who had misconducted themselves. CAPTAIN VERNEY believed the local authority could be safely trusted to deal with the constables. The amendment was agreed to. On Clause 8.

which provide, for the forfeiture of pension, at the discretion of tho police authority, in actually that tho appeal sbcnld lie to the police authority itself. (Mr. Storey. No," and cheers.) be non. member did not understand, tne effect of his own 'amendment, and apparently he had not read the Bill.

The hon. member gravely proposed the very persons who bad approved the dismissal of a constable without a pension should constitute the court of appeal to hear the complaint of the aggrieved constable. (Laughter.) The proposal wa. similar to othera with which the time of the House bad been wasted. (Cries of Ob," and cheers.) SIR A.

ROLLIT hoped the amendment would be Erraly resisted. A police officer was entitled to a judicial determination of the question whether he should nave a pension or not. there was probably no stronrer to deal with the individual cases. to move the rejection of the clause. It was an feeling among the police in reference to that Bill Mr.

MATTHEWS said that perhaps It would meet entirely new principle to introduce an appeal in such i than that In favour of the omission of the clause before the views of all parties if agreed to insert one cases tut if an appeal was to be given, it should be House, lbe mil proposed tbat tbe men should half" instead of ono fifth."

CAMPBELL then, by leave, withdrew his Pfsal In Pill would add to the friction which amendment, and moved to insert "one half in place already existed between borough and county authoritiea. of cue fith." Mr. MATTHEWS said tbat the Court of Quarter Mr.

VINCENT thought a man ahould be punished for Sessions aa being the body conversant with police bis offence at the time it was committed and not have Ppc'cd to be Ue proper court for the con the punishment held over until he had completed bis "deration of appeals. That was the i reposal of the 25 years' service. Ho bored that his right bon. hon. member for tunderland Sometimes, as in some friend would adhere.

to the Bill aa it stood. oI hi. former amendments, the hon. member waa for cutting uown too uiscrcuon oi tne ponce aumoruy. He aaked.

was it possible that such thicrs could be done under tbe land purchase law? If it was possible it was a groos and shameful fraud on tbe Exchequer of thia country. He wished next to draw attention to a very extraordinary case. A certain estate in Cork belonged to a H. O'Sollivaa. The rental waa originally over 2,000, but it was reduced by 50 per cent, by the Land ub Commis.ionerrr In spite of the redactions the tenants were unable to pay their rents regularly.

He might observe that there bad never been any movement like the Plan of Campaign on the estate. Mr. O'Sallivan became bankrupt, and tbe estate passed into tbe hands of a receiver to be disposed of for the benefit of the mortgagee. It was stated in Court that some years ago the owner was offered 28,000 for the property. The tenants offered 8,885, but the Land Commission, having sent a valuer to report on tbe property, refused to sanction a purchase for more than i.

This fact showed how the tenants most for years have been robbed. A property from which the landlord bad wrung a rental ot waa only adjudged to be worth 7,145 by the Land Commission Judge Monroe, tho Judge of tbe Landed Estates. Court, however, refused to sanction the sale at this price, and the tenants over whom there were notices of eviction pending were left. in the position of being unable to purchase their hold ing. In tbe course of tbe negotiations some very remarkable correspondence took place bet ween a solicitor named J.

B. Lynch, the one of the Land Commissioners, and the Catholic curate, of tbe parish. In one letter this Sir. Lynch said the vendora wanted 13,000, but that if tbe curate would act' as agent in inducing tbe tenants to purchase he would be paid 5 cr cent, commission on anything over that sum that was obtained. This was a bribe to the rev.

gentleman to induce these poor people tn pay more than the property was worth, and was rightly treated as a gross personal insult. This matter was all the more serious owing to the family connexion of Mr: Lynch with the Land Commission. The third point which he desired to bring before the House was the recent judgment delivered hyMr. J. G.

M'Carthy in the case of Lord Lan'downe estate. A lens list of agreements to purchase was brought before Mr. M'Carthy, and the'point was whether new tenants should be sutetitated for the evicted tenants. Mr. M'Carthy laid it down that in administering the Act be was bound to consider its meaning and spirit and the purpose of tbe Legislature in passing it, and he held that the purpose of tbe Legislature was to apply a remedy to the evils existing in Ireland, and that no rase could be made oat for the Land Purchase Bill unless it was intended for the removal of grievances.

Accordingly, Mr. M'Carthy to silver articles manufactured in India and, if any ditions. If the men fulClled those conditions, he refused to sanction the agreements. He was informed, could not see why any limitation, should be put upoa however, that the great influence of Lord Lansdowne their future employment. The ease of the Army was I would le uaed for the purpose of putting pressure on analogous.

In the Army the soldiers had pensions, and tbe Commissioners, overawing Mr. M'Carthy, and com when they were discharged every one most earnestly I pelling him to reconsider his judgment. A similar list and nroDcrlv desired that they ahould be emoloved. i of eases was bronchi before Mr. Commissioner Lynch.

Both the present and the late Chief Commissioner of and he delivered a judgment at right angles with the the Metropolitan Police drew pensions from the Army judgment of Mr. Carthy, and laid down principles and did most meritorious service in the police at the same time. C0L0NELN0LAN entirely supported the amendment. Mr. MATTHEWS said the hypothesis upon which a policeman received a pension waa either.

tbat be was which were absolutely subversive of, and contradictory to. those enunciated by Mr. M'Carthy. Mr. Lynch aaid that the Commissioners had no jurisdiction to rescind a contract entered into between landlord and tenant.

The principles laid down by Commissioner Lynch were absolutely intoieranie ana were at variance witn tbe tahear and deeide areeala as to nartieular Yoads. for cases of conviction for certain offencea and foe other I tlJ' 'ui lr.io agreea mat tne appeal eouia not that Board bad not the means to make the inquiries i specified kinds of misconduct, wateIV to tne town council, necessary to enable it to come to a and.

The existence of boycotting in Tipperary has been denied ao persistently with a shameless disregard of troth, by persons who do not scruple to coma forward openly and make the most positive denials, that it is bard for the pnblie to form a correct idea of the tyranny which is carried on. There are several tenanta on tha Smith Barry estate whose names have been set oat In printed notices with orders to shop keepers and others to refuse to have any dealing with them. In case of resistance to thia order, which eertain politicians pretend to regard aa the constitutional right to practise exclusive dealing, tho boycott is extended to tho family and friends of the person who refuses to obey and knowing the ruinoos conse Suenees of holding oat against orgaaixed intimidation bey bring pressure to bear upon the offender, and in many eases with success. This system is sanctioned and encouraged by prominent members of the League, whose position would naturally lead atrangers to suppose that their influence is used on tha side of pesco and good will.

Tbe Dublin postmen have' been permitted by the secretary and comptroller ef the General Post Office, Dublin, to bold a meeting ia order to state their grievances and forward them to Mr. Raikea. A report from Eani. states that tbe attempt made oa Friday morning to assassinate Mr. Fraacis J.

Kelly, J.P., has excited great indignation amongst tbe people in the district. At mass yesterday ia BanHsId the Rev. Father Walsh, P.P., referred to the outrage in very strong Resolutions of sympathy bars been passed by Mr. Kelly's townspeople. According to the report ef the President ef Quean's College.

If the appeal was to the Court of Ouarter Sessions the county com to the men. Lastly, it would surely be a shock to the mittee could be excluded, and then there would be a public conscience that a man committing an offence involving moral turpitude should be allowed to draw a large pension from the public funds.

Mr. CHILDERS thought the word disgraceful was too vague, and auggested that it would be better to adopt the words of the Scotch Bill, giving power to the police authority to withdraw pension from any grantee who enters into or continues to carry on any of ril" Lk. who was received with cries business, occupation, or employment which in the tbe amendment wbicb stnoa ujon opinion of tbe police authority is illegal.

Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE observed tbat it was a pure question of law, and tbe proper tribunal would be that of the County Court Judge. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that there was an appeal from the borough to the.

county magistrates. There was a strong jealousy on the part of the borough magistrates against the county magistrates. The right hou. gentleman would do well, in the case of the borough police, to put in some words granting an appeal to the Recorder of the borough or the County Court Judge. Mr.

STUART W0RTLEY said that the appeal in the borough was to tbe quarter sessions in tbe borough The functions of tbe ounty.

Ia tha various measures which tho Government had hrooght before Parliament, anil which one after another they had dropped, they had been obliged to give way to tha force of pablie opinion, which bad been shown especially over the Land Purchase Bill and tbo Compensation Bill.
