UUilUlUUU. . _ ... ,J$r. -jfegwell asked 4he -'Secretary?«rf Stdto for the Home Bepartment if his attention had been called to the inquest on Mary Anne Walkley, a workwoman in the employment of Madame Elise, described as Court dressmaker, of 170, Regent-strtet, the verdict at which stated that the deceased died of apoplexy; and if the Government had any intention to take me isures for tiioregistration and inspection of workrooms.—£nr Gr. said that lie knew nothing of the case, except irom thereports in the newspapers of the proceedings at theinquest. He had no doubt that it would be desirable, if it were possible, to establish a system of registration of workrooms. There was an act, by which masters having servants or apprentices, and undertaking to clotheor lodo*e them, were subject to conviction if by their^conduct they wilfully endangered the lives of those servants or apprentices.HOUSE OF COMMONS—June 24.Mr. Bowerie said he thought there would be no chance of carrying the Uniformity Act Amendment Bill through this session ; and he proposed to move the discharge of the order, with the intention of introducing it early next year. The bill had been misunderstood and misrepresented, especially by the Universities, who supposed that the measure intended to open the Fellowships of the Universities to Nonconformists, whereas it sought to remove a restriction imposed 200 years ago, and which had failed in its object.—-After some discussion the order of the day was discharge^, and the bill was withdrawn.The Misappropriation by Servants Bill was read a second time.
