question was, whether it wee desirable any act •c

crowded metro(' -lie. If it were desirable az:
should not pass, thin he would say, send the -re s
select committee. (Hear, hear.) It had be. u 'hat
witnesses would there be examined, and viii or r .c.i:tst
objection", and suggestions made u to the deisc.:,.
would go to make up team, future filtlattie. 111, it. 6.sr
Now, if such a room were taken the house would be ray
fortunate if, towards the end of Isle they received
a report from that commit:re. tllear, hear..
Indeed, the probability was, that they would replet
the impossibility of causing to • decision at that m•racut.
and prey to be allowed to sit next sts.io-i 'or the purpose of
going through the details. (lieu.. h, ar.) As rigor ....I the
details, be (Lord J. Russell) was not then g ',nit into
defence of them. because he had heard no reason given to
sho • that that house was not as competent to consider the
bill as a select committee would be. (liver) if it were
thought that all the clauses were not nece,osty to curry out
the provisions of the measure, let thole that should be
deemed unnecessary be removed ; and if it should be th.oght
that any of them required a Iteration, he would be met:
happy to concur in all proper alterations. t Hear, 1: ha
been said that his right bon. friend (Sir G. (hey) had wit-
drawn several provisions of the bill, and introducitothae in
their stead ; but it was hard, because his right hon. friend
received deputations in reference to the measure, that he
should then be censured for not complying with the wL.h of
those who called fora select committee. (11-xr. hear.)
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY preferred th.t alt. rr.rive to
passing the bill with its present adoption of the obketionable
centralising system.
Sir R. PHEL should object to the question being relented
to a select committee, for the very reasons uric a by the h.gt.
gentleman who had just sat down. (Hear, hear.) !lc
thought it right that a question of such importance and in•
voicing so many interests, should be discuand. not in a
select committee, but in a commit:co of the while hew.
(Hear, hear.) He (Sir R. Peel) had every relyiet I-r the
corporation of London, indeed, no me'mb' rot that roue en-
tertaiut d a higher respect for them; but there erre ....ants
of local management in metropolitan affairs, such. for tn-
stanoe, all the removal of Smithtield-ntarket —(laughter)—
on which it might be permitted individuals to ar-
rive at different views. (Hear, hear.) Thee•Vt
ration of London, no doubt, were well quidned to
judge of affairs of local management ; but that woe nor...son
why ork, rs shculd not venture to express a tlid.rent etnion.
(Hear, hear ) The question was, whether they shell !to
sato a committee of the whole house, or refer the bill to
•
Ardent committee. and he was of opinion if they tuto-rted the
latter course mad referred the measure to • 'elect committee.
it would be an extraordinary case of extra-mural iuteroleilt
indeed. (Laughter.)
Hr. HUME said that bad be read the clauses .4 the bill
he would never have consented to its see and readina, the
principle having been discussed. t Hear, hear.) He
wisi one of those who advocated the neccesoy of a Whitmire'
Interments year/ ago, indeed he believed the first motion
ever submitted on the question emanated trots him. (Ilean,
hear.) He thought the powers entrusted to the booed were
too unlimited, such as providing sepulture t.r 51,tkItt ticreens
yearly, appointing otticitting clergy to tho cementites, to-
gather with regulating and controlling the tees to be poi.
(Hear, hear.) He thought the parishes should vaind
these meters, and in the event of their not delimit to "tie.
factortly, then the Board of Health could et, p in and este•
deo their tuncticns. He was of opinion that the noble lord
should allow the matter to be referred to a elect committee-
He objected on the ground that witnessee would have to be
examined, by which delay would be caused. But witermes
were not wanted, as common same would deft le the matter.
(Hear, hoar) If such things were permitted, the neat step
le. Bgard all Stmltd LOS Saki would be We outzul of all
