§ Lord Monteaglelaid on the Table a Bill which he hoped would be passed in the course of the present Session. The House was aware that there was a great number of schools in Ireland, where the parents paid a small weekly sum to the schoolmasters or schoolmistresses for the instruction of their children. There was often experienced a difficulty in recovering this stipend in many parts of Ireland, and he understood that in some districts the magistrates had interpreted the statute relative to the summary recovery of wages in such a way as to embrace this payment to schoolmasters. This appeared to him to be a good and economical proceeding, both for the schoolmasters and the parents, and the object of his bill was to settle this point, and to extend the provisions of the act relative to the summary recovery of wages, to the recovery of payment by the schoolmasters and the parents paid in the way which he had described. He apprehended that there would be no objection to this bill, and he should therefore endeavour to pass it during the present Session.
