Chancellor of the Exchequer in the chair. The opposition
to the hill having been provisionally suspended, the evi.
dence of representatives of the provincial poem was taken.
The witnesses included Mr. John Edward Taylor, of the
Blanchester Guardian • Mr. William Saunders, who re-
presented the opinion of various newspaper. in Liver-
pool, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Newcastle, Plymouth, Cardiff,
and other towns ; Dr. Cameron, of the NertA British
Daily Nail, Glas; and Mr. F. D. Fluky, of the Daily
Northam Whey, Belfast. All these gentlemen were in

adopted, witness believed that thousands on thousand. of
messages would be evolved of a, kind, and from • dem at
