GREENWICH MARKETS REGULATION BILL.

This bill paned through committee ; to bs reported on
Friday.
SMITHFIELD MARKET COMMITTEE.

Mr. STAFFORD moved that Mr. EliTiiitoTkebe dis-
charged from farther attendance on the select committee on
Smithfield market, and that Sir Di Lacy Evans be added to
the committee.
Mr. MA.CHINNON opposed the motion on the ground
that the committee themulus wished for no change.
Mr. B. OSBORNE said the eommittee themselves might
be satisfied with their own constitution, but the butchers
and paziers of the metropolis and the surrounding district
were not so. Considering that seven millions of money were
annually turned over in Smithfield market, its interests
ought not to be confided to a one-sided committee. The
metropolitan county had a tight to be represented on the
committee.
Mr. 0. GORE considered that the metropolis was
already .sufficiently represented. He thought the lees local
connexion hon. members had, the better.
Sir C. DOUGLAS considered that no ground whatever
had been laid for the motion.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER was of opinion that the grazing
interest was already sufficiently represented on the com-
mittee. It wu most fnoonvenieot, after a committee was
regularly appointed, that changes should thus be made with-
out any reason stated.
Sir G. GREY said the course was certainly unusual,
especially as it did not originate with the committee or their
chairman. It was desirable that there should be a fair re.
presentation of ell interests on the committee; and if the
noble lord (R Grosvenor), the member for Middlesex, had
been placed on the committee is the expectation that he
would be able to attend, when it appeared he was not, pro-
biblEtheibetter course would be to substitute Sir De Lacy
Evans for the noble lord.
Mr. STAFFORD said that Mr. E. Yorke wee ill, and had
not been able to attend the committee. The graziers of the
metropolis felt that they were not adequately represented.
The most important question for the committee being the
site of the market, it was desirable that the metropolitan
boroughs should be represented on the committee. He had
not brought the matter before the committee previous to
submitting this motion; but, had he done so, he should still
have felt hound, on the part of the graziers to place this
mater before the house. He had communicated with Sir
D. L. Evans, who stated that he should have no objection
to
After a conversation, the motion wu withdrawn.
The house adjourned at 20 minutes after 6 o'clock.
