FLOOD opposed the Bill, and moved an amendment. Mr. HART Darts could not disguise from himself that the present measure was attended with many difficulties; but the more he consi dered the present measure, the more be was satis fi ed of its utility. Mr. GIDDY witS convinced nothing had contributed so much as the law in question to check the progress in our arts and manufactures. Sir C. MO RD I.' NT, on the part of his Constituents, the manufactu rers or B . priningham, was stronelv in favour of the present repeal. Mr. TriostrsoN thought the present law had beco,Le superanuated, an d wished to see it die an easy death. r could not consent that the system of apprenticeships should be put an end to; but thought that in the Committee such al ter.ei,aas might he snagested as molt remove tlip objections be at pre sew frit to the Bill of the Learned Serjeast. Sir .1 Nrws. rirr was decid.Aly tit opinian that the subject of this countly was entitled to the flee exerci-e of his talents, ingenuity, and tibial try, in whatever way he wished to employ theta. Ri,tii v was rnisfied that there were reasons sufficiently AtrOtil! . to MIIIIIIIII ti e system of apprenticeship in those trades in which n vumber of tears were reqoisite to acquiring a knowler!e , of them. s,iihout the ns-istanee of the law as it now stood.

Alderman A rKtszs wished that some encouragement might be hold nut to teonlar pppr , ..nticeships. Mr. CA N vING thought by doina awny some of the most glaring ab s:ird:iies of the present law, and by holding out eneournement to the system of approwices w!.ere apprenticeships were tit cessury, the evls nuAv telt would be remedied withnut injuring the morals of the “encratiun.
