Dentition. Caution was, he thought, of the utmost importance.
It was a subiect on which any ill-considered step might be produc-
tive of terrific results, and nothing should be hazarded that would
incur the most remote possibility of danger. It was a subject he
thought on which even inquiry would be inexpedient. It was a
question which roust be left to work its own way, and no attempt
should be made to lead the public mind. The Legislature should
wait for that unanimity of opinion which could only be hoped for
from the general prevalence of just views.
Mr. BERNAL, explained.
Lord BELGRAVE wished merely to protest against the doc-
trine of non-contagion. -
Mr. JOHN SMITH was on the Committee, and unless the
change which the Right honourable Gentleman recommended
were carried into effect, trade would moat materially suffer. It was
a subject attended with considerable difficulties, and not the least
was the variety of conflicting testimony given from various quar-
tets. He thought It worthy of observation that no expurgator had
ever taken the plague, and that Holland, with all its trade and
its companative freedom from quarantine, had never suffered.
I Sir I. COFFIN explained.
Mr. TRANT denied that that there was any foundation for the
sweeping assertions made on this subject ; at the same time he
thought that Parliament should proceed with every possible
caution.
After a few observations from a Men.ber, whose name we could
not learn, the Report was brought up, and the third reading of the
Bill was fixed for tomorrow `this-duy.)
LUNATIC 1 RUSI EES' BILL.
On the motion of air. C. GRANT, the Lunatic Trustees' Bill
was read a second time, and ordered to be eommitted to-morrow'
tthis-day.)
Mr. KENNEDY moved the second reading of the Salmon
Fisheries' Bill.
Mr. A BERCROMBY suggested the postponettent of the
further stage -of this Bill to next Session.
Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON concurred in recommending the
poatnonement.
Mr. KENNEDY was aware of the interest and alarm which had
been excited throughout the country, and he wished for an oppor-
tunity of making a statement to remove this tilarm, and he
then regrehted that he had not been able to do so, but he was
willing to acquiesce in the views of lion. Members whom he
found friendly to the principles of this measure, as they only
differed front him regarding time.
Mr. C. GRANT agreed that they could not legislate this Ses-
sion on the matter. and regretted that such was the case.
Sir J. NEWPORT observed. that where a Bill of this nature af-
fected the interests of several individuals remote from the seat of Go-
vernment, it was the more necessary to proceed with delibevetion,
in order that the parties interested should have time to make nay
suggestions they might deem necessary. It was more easy to con-
ciliate in the first instance, than after a measure deemed objection.
able had produced alienation. On these grounds he thought the
measure should be put off till next Session.
After 'a few observations from Mr. B. Coovest, Mr. Tau-
MAYNE, Mr. H. Dat.isemouu,LordChtmand Mr. KENNEDY,
the Bill was re-committed, the Report was subsequently brought
up, and ordered to:be taken into consideration that day three
months.

The Bill waa ordered to he printed.
