T7NflifliTAS COMPANY BILL.

On the second readiug of the United Das Company Bill being
moved,
The LORD CII A NCF.LLOR moved that the second reading
of the Bill be postponed till Monday. It was a most important
Bill, and in many respects was very objectionable. One of its
clauses stated that the capital of the company should not exceed
a million, but it did not state that it was necessary for lOW. capital
to exist in that body. The Learned Lord also objected to the man-
or,. this corporation could be sued fin debts, and observed how care-
ful they were in their Bill not to injure the water companies, but
they cared nut what injury they did to the water of all the rest of
his Mojeoiy's subjects.
A fur • few words from the Earl of SII A FTSIIURY, In support
of the Bill, the second reading was postponed to Monday.
