AUCTION BILL.

srt wurrEor ‘1) wholly disapproved of the Bill, and said, tlnit
though it pretended metelv to keep down mock auctions, would
have the et et of extinguishing the profession altogether. He hoped
the Bill would be postponed till next session. by which time the
Ilouse could eGme to by aecurate knowledge of the defects of the
present system, and be able to adopt the most etleetual mciais eel' i
re: iOyillg it. -
4 discussion took place on the proposition of the Cie'C!: oib
of the Exentuu kit, that the icport of this Bill should be taken
into consideration on 111oodov. To this an Amendment was moved
bY Mr. FRANIELIND LEIV4S, that the report should be taken into
consideration this day three months. lie observed that the Bill de
mandictl the most sctions attention, and that to make ;my material
alteration in the regulation of auctions would be a most unjustifiable
measure, without having. first consulted the anctioneers of the me-
tropolis. No such consultation had taken place. Ti! Bill, he
said, was regarded with horror by the Ailetioneers, and particularly
the clause with respect to the sale of propel tv. This, he mei; iooed,
would be attended with more of disadvantage than any possible
!fleet the 13111 could have in checking Mock Auctions would he of
benefit. He hoped, at kilo, that the clause to which he had id.
bided, would be totally withdrawn. Ile considered this elause a
smffieient ground fur his amendment, and as to the other parts of the
Bill, it was the duty of the Hon•c to have the ophdons of those
who were professionally acquainted with its mei its, before
.they
abould agree to make them the basis ora Parliamentary measure.
Mr. WitAteroN &elated, lie did not see why so sweeeing a mo-
tion as that just proposed, shooed tae its rise from a clause which
went to regulate the sale of property, that the Bill would put an
clic' 10 the Mock Auctions. But, he said, when Gentlemen op.
y.Ard tke proposition, Ile begged to know wht ther they had con-
bidered the consegnences which frequetply arose atm; ti nit system
which the Bill would pot down? Did they not keow that Mock
Auctions were the n:Ost efficacions vehicles fer carrying into efb et
theft told roblwry I One instance he mentioned. A gentleman
was arrested in the streets and carried to Bow-street, where lie
was charged with stealing a brace aid:aids, and al tote lying under-
gone the ignominy of tltt accusation, it was proved that lie had pug-•
chased tho:se pistols at a Mock Auction :it Lynn. • Such was fie
quently the result of Moe+, Anetions. lie hoped that sore'ntore
