mu (OW•• and the bill gave power to cancel the
~wet to issue 378,0001. in preference shares, and to issue
in pre-preference shares. The preference share-
older. *mounted in number to 1,06!, of whom 291 had
els,•n their consent in writing to this bill. There were

•
I non. the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, and
the C.dedonian ; but he had thought it his duty to bring
' matter before the house.
Mr. II.tIJFIELD protested against the confiscation of
the property of preference shareholders by the creation of
far-preference shares, and gave notice of his intention to
na.ve fur a select committee on the subject.

no to.,tter. for if they consented to the creation of pre-prefe-
nonce stock they would destroy confidence in preference

wanted in order to prevent a motion relative to the
appointment of a select committee on the Ecclesiastical
Titles Bill from coming on. Several members complained
of this as an abuse of the privilege of counting out. Mr.
Hardy promised, on the part of the government, they
would prevent, as far as in their power,a recurrence of what
took place last evening.
