HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNESDAY.
TRANSPORT OP TROOPS —SIR DE "ACT EVANS.
The house was occupied for some time with a
matter of a pers -nal nature, brought under its notice
Lord Godericb, a member of the Select Committee
the Transport of Troops to India, who complained
. the conduct of the chairman of the committee,
Sir De Lacy Evans, in circulating, as be alleged,
privately and secretly, a document containing not
mly criticisms upon the proceedings of the corn.
:ittee, but a charge against himself (Lord Goderich)
and others members of the committee who had dif•
fered from the chairman, that they had been actuated
• a desire to screen the late Administration from
censure.

Lord GODERICH, though in temperate terms,
strongly censured the course taken by Sir De Lacy,
. wanting in common fairness to those whom he
accused, ant on their behalf and his own distinctly
denied the charge.
Sir DE LACY EVANS insisted that there bad been
no secrecy in the circulation of the document, but
expressed his sorrow if he had transgressed forms.
'le disclaimed the imputation of any unworthy
motives to Lord Goderich and his colleagues, though
le admitted that be did ascribe to them an amiable
and a generous desire to assist their friends.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that
Sir De Lacy Evans had committed an act which was
not only very irregular, but. was one of considerable
impropriety. At the same time, as be had expressed
is regret, and as Lord Goderich had fully and coin•
pletely vindicated himself and his colleagues, he
recommended that the conversation shJuld not be
prolonged.
This suggestion was adopted, and the subject,
which threatened to absorb a large portion of the
sitting, after a few remarks by Lord GODERICH, was
allowed to drop.
The Smoke Nuisance Abatement Bill, the
Members Freedom from Arrest Bill, and the Church-
rates Commutation Bill, were withdrawn.
The Medical Profession and Medical Corporations
Bill was read a second time.
The Cornwall Submarine Mines Bill and the De•
tacked Parts of Counties Bill were read a third time
and passed.
