Sir J. RAMSDEN said the artillery force under order.
for India had been selected in the same way as all the other

with • requisition from the East India Company to

number of the forces to be seat, and the num-
ber of each artillery company had ben FO arranged so to
tiring it within the number mentioned in the requisition.
Mr. SPOONER objected to go into committee until tome
of the other orders were disposed of. hitherto it had low
the understubding that the bills of private lumbers should
take precedence on Weilneadny it, and, as there were Feversd
important bills on the paper boday, he should more that the
committee of supply be postponed until after order 12—the
Elections l'etitiona Bill.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the motion and ObPOTTOA
that the Government appeared to think that the Louse had
nu other 'business t o dispatch but disposing of %brie measures.

es an amendment that it be read a third time this day three
months.
Mr. MALINS recommended the lion. member for Note
Warwickshire to rest contented with having affirmet the
principle of the Lill; it was quite hopeless to think of
perfecting its details this session, and it would Le belts
to defer it till neat year.
After • few words from Mr. IlrieLev, who condemned
the machinery of the Lill, and Mr. Ntweguare, the
amendment was agreed to without a &Melon.
LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES
ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
Mr. MALINS moved the myna reading of this Lill.
Lord It. GROSVENOR explained thet the Lill would
have the effect of repealing en act paased lost session, when-
by Sir T. M. Wilson, the lord of the manor, was precluded
from isolating and building on llanipstesil-heath. Re
moved as an amendment that the Lill be read a second time
this day three months.
Mr. Sl'OONElt declared that the idea of Sir T. M.
Wilson intending to enclose liumpetcel.hesth anise out of
an entire misapprehension and great injustice had thereby
been done to that gentleman. The heath could not Le en-
eland without the express authority of an act of parliament
neither the Court of Chancery, nor any other tribunal but the
imperial legislature could confer such a power upon Sit
Thomas Wilson or any
..me else. The simple effort of this
bill was to afford relict in a case of injusUce where jostles
could not be obtained without it, mid none of its peevish:ea
had the remotest reference to Ilameetead-heath.
Mr. I. BUTT on the other hand, contended that eh
was a public bill for the private relief of Sir Thomas WO.
son; it disturbed a settlement deliberately made last remits.
after tho most mature consideration, and ought on that as
count alone to he thrown out. The care of injustice,
If
there was any, should be disposed of by a private bill.
Mr. HENLEY uppend the bill upon its merits, Steeped.
five of the MOO of Sir Thomas Wilson.
Mr. NAI'IEIt considered the rights of property should be
made sa free as possible. It was necessary that it should he
so, for the interest of society at large ; and u such would be
the effect of this bill, he felt bound to support it.
Sir D. NORREYS said, had it na been for the Hamp-
stead-heath delusion, Sir Thome, Wilson never could have
been debarred from his lust rights.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS observed that the Metropaiten
Board of Works were anxiou to conic to some arrangement
with Sir Thomas Wilson, in reference to IlanipsteeL.Ustk:
but this bill passed there would be an end of the wail*
lions. (liter, beer.)
Mr. MaLtea and Mr. WHITS>IDE supported the
bill at some length, and insisted that the loud is
reference to which it would afford Sir Thos. Wilson relief
was far away from liampstead-heath, on the Fincbley- road.
It was Sir 1 home. Wilson's interest and. wish that Ramp.
steed-heath should be kept open.
