Railway—the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway,
(Amendments)—and the Bristol and North Somerset Rail-
way (Amendments) Bills were read a third time and

AFFAIRS OF GREECE.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said, as general anarchy
was said to prevail in Athens, it was desirable to have the
deliberate opinion of our own Minister formed on the spot.
Ho therefore wished to know whether there would be any
objection to produce any despatch that might have been
received from Mr. Scarlett relating to the matter.
Earl RUSSELL said he would look over the despatches,
and see if ho could give the noble marquis the information
he required.
SHEEP AND CATTLE (SCOTLAND): BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
STATUTE LAW REVISION BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading
of this bill, the object of which was to remove a large num-
ber of acts from the statute book which had become altoge-
ther obsolete. This was a case in which the greatest con
fidence should be placed in those who drew up this ponde-
-
ous bill, and he could assure their lordships that he and his
auxiliaries had devoted their best attention to the melon!e
to insure its accuracy. The bill was of a similar nature
that introduced by the late Lord Campbell, and which
been found to produce the most satisfactory results.
