SOUSE OF OF COMMONS, THIMIDAT, MAILCH 17•

STROUD RAILWAY.
Oethemotlon of tile. J. PITT, the Stroud Railway Bill was
botooolit ap and read a first time.
LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILROAD.
Lard STANLEY prevented a petition from the proprietors of
Use Alersey and Orwell Canal against this intended railroad.—Laid
co the table.
Mr. CREEVEY presented a petition from certain landholders and
P,..p len of farms in Lancashire against the same railroad. The
Hon. Gentleman said he wan instructed to state, that Oils road,
with, as the petitioners characterised it, all its internal machinery
of steam-engines and waggons, would, as at present laid out, pass
BO only through the meadows and grounds of the petitioners, but
even through their yards and orchards, separating the farm front
Ode farm-yard, the garden from the house. and in some cases
cutting die yard of Oho house itself into two divisions. The peti-
tioners also wished it to be made known, that this was not, as it
Tad been Belled, the project of either the towns of Liverpool or
Manchester, but of a few individual speculators unconnected with
either. The parish of Liverpool, and everybody who knew Liver-
peal, knew too that it had only one parish. The pariah of Liver-
pool had actually petitioned against this infernal machine (Laugh-
ter), apd the Corporation had expressed their determination that it
should not come withii one mile of the town, being the utmost
'Pent of their jurisdiction. Manchester had likewise expressed its
elotermissation Dote° be visited by this infernal machine (Laughter),
and likewise refused its projectors permission to approach within a
sprain distance of the town. The petitioner., a numerous and
• respectable body of men, expressed the lame abhorrence of the
neighbourhood of this infernal machine (Laughter), and they
tbetdore hoped that the Bolin: and the country would direct their
utmost Worm against a measure desired by no one party in its
‘siekilty, and so very unlikely to do any good, when it could make
=shirts by Its journey oo either way to which it might be directed.
(If ear, hear, and Laughter.)
The petition was then referred to the Committee.
cn FEVEY afterwards moved that it be printed.
The CLERIC, we believe, replied, " Then, you must pay the
expenses."
The Hon. Member, with • very significant gesture, expressed
hit disinclination to its bring printed on such terms.

sttiec to retract, were applied to Mr. James, not to Mr. William,
