the admirable conduct of these fat wham alaataire it had
been designed. He had regretted. however, to reed that
an attempt had remedy been mode, by as of a strike,
to extort higher wages from the teal trade, mad hear wned
those engaged in such an attempt, that the doeseoweess of
such pocky would necessarily be the repeal of the restristive

go to a saint committee, and that, to save tins a melee far
each a committee should be substituted foe the modes be-

Mr. W. WILLIAMS waa in favour of sending tho bill
to a ideal committee. . .

Lord J. MANNERS said that as government had given
its consent to the introduction of the bill, he would recom-
mend the has. member for the Tower Hamlets to persist
with his motion, and let the bill be referred to a select
committee after the second reading. The bill affected the
interests of a large and important section of the labouring
classes, and it was, therefore, desirable that no unnecessary
clam should take place.
The house then went into committee on the resolution.

I[r. HUME thought that the resolution should include
the ease of the ballast•bnren.

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the ballast question of the
crt of London was one of the meet complicated that could

oirthe crown, the city of London, and the Trinity-
house.

Mr. OLADSTONE hoped that u government approved
of the bill, the committee would agree to the resolution.

port a bill of which he had not seen the details.
