sensed of the majority of shareholders, they hating by their
purchase that majority in their own hands. He was sure
that their lordships would not consider the consent of
these persona who had obtained their votes by suck means,
necessary to the poising of a bill, brought in in conformity
with their own original intention. The committee had re-

Bart FITZ WILLIAM called upia lerdeldps to ent-

Earl of CHICHESTER made some remarks which
were almost entirely inaudible.
Lord BRAUKONT was in favour of further inquiry.
Lost POSTYLN said he had been requested by Mr.
(Bps., chairman of the North-Western Company, to state
inset solemnly that not one farthing of the corporate funds
et that company had been applied to the purchase of shares
di• Oxford and Birmingham line, and that the North.
Widen Company had given no guarantees whatever in
teetbseence of such purchases. The noble baron expressed
his sedition that their lordships owed it dike to themselves
-sad a the public, to pursue the inquiry moat closely.
The Rent of DEVON spoke at some length, but was quite
. • Lea RIDESDALE, after some observations, moved as
am meadows that " no farther proceedings be bad in this
meitheithisaimiew, it beieg expedient that the house should
biro aglow it the decthons of the courts of law upon the legal

riMa."
Tbs Earl of WICKLOW supported this ameadment,
,waning that no proceedings on the subject could be attended
with aoy useful results this year.
Lord BROUGHAM said what was really wanted in this
OW was security for the competition of two lines of railway.
It was perfectly evident that the " protection" of the stand-
ing order, would be used to frustrate the iotention of the
legislators, and thus to produce mischief to the public, by
any meeting of the company as at pewit rmpoeed.
Ho objected to the course which had leen taken
by the committee, who ought to have inquired into
the matter, instead of reporting that Inquiry could
be of no avail. If no other object had loss gained,
It would have been something to expose the improper
and predicate proceedings of the shareholding In this case.
