HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2.

GLASGOW ROAD BILL

Mr. KENNEDY moved the third reading of the Glasgow and
Portretrirk Road Bill.
A conversation wok place between the SFr:AVER, Lord A.
HAN t I TON. and Mr. D. GILBERT, IS fit* point of regularity,
after which the Bill was read a third time.
On the question that the Bill do pass,
Lord A. HAMILTON declared his intention to divide the
11014,..: upon it; but,
Atlvr a few obsersatiorif haw Mr. Mosrtien, the Noble lard
wi::nlrew his opposition, and the Bill passed.
SOUTH LONDON DOCKS.

Mr. H. SI-31NElt moved that the Minutes of Evidence taken
bstore the Committee on the Scuth London Docks Bill be laid on
tb r table.
Mr. Alderman HEYOATE said that he was taken by surprise,
as he had understood the Honourable Member for Sarre y last night
to have postponed his motion for the production of the Minutes of
Evidence until Thursday, the 11th of June; as, however, he had"
moved for their return, he should move as an amendment, that the
• '.'erther anisideration of the Minutes of Evidence should be post.
posed until the 10th of June.
MT. CURTEIS seconded the amendment.
Mr. H. SUMNER denied that he had given 'any such under-
standing as that alluded to by the worthy Alderman.
Mr. 111ABERLY supported the original motion; he observed
that there was a charge against the Committee, that for the sake
of delay they had procured Counsel to make long speeches, and
that the discussion of a single point which need not have occupied
more than a few minutes had taken up a whole day. Ile hoped the
time, was arriving when such irregularities would be put an
cad to.
Mr. S. BOURNE was also in favour of the original question,
retuirking, that if there was any impropriety attaching to the Com.
mittee, the production of the minutes of evidence was the best mode
of clearing the matter up, and enabling the House to form a cor-
net judgment on the subject.
Mr. H. SUMMER said, that he was not surprised at the course
Men by the Honourable and Worthy Alderman, as he bad stated
in the Committee that he would take every opportunity of delaying
the progrem.of the Bill.
Mr. I' P.PALM Elt remarked, that two of the most important
private bills that were Introduced to the House in that Session were
brat:in in violation of the, standing orders, he meant the South
and thepatberindzir Foes Bill, and they had come.
'quectly been ett all with difficulty am s obstructions.
• Mr. P. ORB, FELL comp ained that neither the Worthy Al.
derman, from whom the present opposition sprung, nor the lion.
Member foe Sussex, who acciwided the amenditent, had attended at
all t. the merits of he Bill while in the Committee, except for the
purpose of raising delay, nor indeed did the Honourable Member
fbr Southwark (Mr. C. Calvert) bestow much time on it; and he
therefore thought the apposition now unfair.
Sir W. DE Carsrtnity,•Sir E. IlitavEr, and Mr. Alderman
' Woon, made a few cduervatioeut
' Dlr. CA LVERT observed, that as lie had been alluded to by '
his Hon. Friend below him (Mr. Orenfell). as absenting himself
entirely from the Committee, he would state to the House why lie
had so done. He had.consulted many of his constituents, and he,
• found them divided as to the policy of the Bilt, and as he could not
ferment both interests, he had drought his best course was to re-!I
main neuter. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Alderman HI:YGATE said that the Bill was a most no-
torious job, and that the promoters of it now came forward most
unblushingly to charge those averse to it with unfairness. It was
fitting that the House should know, that for the formation of the
South London Docks 600 homes were to be pulled down, sod no
compensation was to be made to the tenants, who were turned out
to go where they could. He cotcluded with stating that he should
111
wi.lidraw his amendment.
The original (location was then carried without a division.

ment, for permission to purchase five ships of war, to be
pl o yet! against South America. The application, it is
said, has been positively refused by the French Nllnisters,
