COURT OF CHANCERY (Ireland) BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill, and clauses
from 1 to 11 were agreed to without amendment.

On clause 12
Mr. GEORGE objected to the manner in which the bill
was being pressed forward.
Mr. WHITESIDE complained of the manner in which
the bill was being forced throughout parliament, and said
he thought it of so great importance that a bill making
such extensive alterations should be dealt with in a house
so thinly attended (there being no more than 18 or 20 mem-
bers present.) He was in attendance previous to the Speaker
taking the chair, and only left the door to obtain a book in the
library, and on his return he found that a house had been
made, and in about four minutes nine of the roost important
clauses had been smuggled through the house. He thought
it highly unseemly in a Government, that narrowly escaped
censure the other night by a majority of about half a dozen,
and who met with a distinct defeat last night, to go on
with this measure in such an objectionable manner, and at
a day sitting. He again asked, was it at all seemly to press
the bill forward under such circumstances. He should
like to know if there was any mode by which the clauses
already passed could be reconsidered.
The CHAIRMAN (Mr Massey) said the only course
•pen to the hon. gentleman was to move that he (the Chair-
man) report progress, and then on that being agreed to, to
move that the bill be referred to a select committee.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
he had been in the house since 12 o'clock, and if hon. mem-
bers having objection to the bill were not in attendance, he
could not help it. He had bad to wait for half an hour

before he could proceed. There was no desire on his part
to press this bill forward with endue haste, or without the
fullest discussion, but it was absolutely necessary, in order
to dispose of the public business, to take this bill into con-
sideration at a morning sitting.
Mr WHITESIDE then having formally made a motion
to the first effect, went on to state his objections to many of
the provisions of the bill.
Sir It. PEEL rose to order. He thought it quite in-
competent for the right hon. gentleman to persevere in his
extraordinary speech which had lasted already two hours
and a half in the manner in which he was then proceeding
His motion was for the chairman reporting progress, and
he was entering into the details of the bill, when

The CHAIM—INN rule' that the hon. gentleman was
quite in order.
Mr WHITESIDE then resumed his observations on
the effects of the bill.

1.7 r VANCE thought it highly objectionable that a bill
of such importance should be considered at a morning
sitting, especially as mr.ny members interested in the
matter were unavoidably absent. He put it to the
right hon. gentleman the A'torney- General for Ireland
whether the bill was one that ought to be considered in so
thin a house. When the most importatat clauses had
been passed there were not more than eight or nine mem-
bers present.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL for IRELAND con-
sidered the tight hon. gentleman had abused the attention
of the house by occupying it with matter as much relevant
to the Great Mogul as to the provisions of the bill. lie
was amazed at many of the statements of the right hon.
gentleman, and he could hardly reconcile himself to the
belief that the hon. gentleman had any other object but to
obstruct and defeat the bill. Instead of being opposed to
the measure, the entire bar of Ireland approved of it. He
was not to blame because the subject had not been fully
discussed. Ho had been in his place at 12 o'clock, and
although it was well known that the bill was to come on
for discussion, there appeared to have been an arrangement
between some parties to prevent its consideration. If the
bill was not carried it should not fall through by any want
of exertion on his part, especially as he believed it was cal-
culated to benefit Ireland very largely.

Mr B 1.3 TT objected to the bill being sent to a select com-
mittee.

The committee then divided on the motion that the Chair-
man do leave the chair, when there appeared—
Ayes
Noes ..
Majority
The result was received with cheers and much laughter.
The CHAIRMAN accordingly left the chair and it being
past 4 o'clock the sitting of the house was suspended.

The house resumed at 6 o'ckck.
THE DIVISION AT 4 O'CLOCK.

Sir COLMAN O'LOUGHLEN told the Speaker,
that by accident he voted with the " ayes " instead of
the NOES. He was told he was bound to vote. He did so,
and then reported the circumstance to the chairman. He
(Sir Colman) thought his vote ought to bs placed with the
"noes."

The SPEAKER raid the hon. member having gone into
the lobby with the Noes alter the question had been put
from the chair, he was bound to vote with the " Noes,"
therefore his vote must remain undisturbed.
