observation which he had to make on the
occasion was, that in his endeavours to preset

REFORM OF PARLIAMENT.

The Report of the Committee on Parliamentary
Reform, was then brought up and read, recommend-
ing to the Court to renew its application to the Legis-
lature, in the ensuing Session, for a Reform of Par-
liament.
Mr. FA V &Li, in rising to move the acquiescence of
the Court in the Report which had just been read,
said he should not feel it necessary to say much on

actuated in voting for this motion by any
ciliate the favour of his constituents at the approadt-
ing election.
Mr. 01.bnaat said, if the Report pledged the
Court to any specific plan of Reform, he for one
should think that, of all others, the most improper
for bringing it forward. But as he was a friend
to the principle of Reform generally, and was con-
vinced that some Reform was necessary, and us that
Report only recommended generally so appticatirm
for Reform, he should give the Motion for egreehat
to it his most hearty support, and he could no let I
that opportunity pass of returning his thanks to his'
Hon. Friend for bringing it forward. The mote he
considered this question, the mote he was convinced
that Reforth was necessary, and that it was the duty
of the people of gaeland to look to the House of
Commons to Reform itself.
Mr. Alderman Warrtimarr said, he felt himself
called upon to say a few words, not in discussion of
the merits of any particular notion of Reform. but MI
observation upon the insinuations thrown out an
Honourable Gentleman of wild and visionary schemes
entertained by the friends of Reform. He had had
