had involved themselves in an almost interminable inquiry.
At the same tune, having begun the inquiry, he could riot
consent to throw the Rill overboard, WithOUt 110111-11 good
reason to place in"their Lordships' journal. Ile was of
opinion, too, thatduing,to would tend to throw business
more than ever lute ththando of the House of Commons;
' end he could,oot, ste.'lo7itv their .I.ordshipe could avoid
proceeding with the Bill till the dose of the Session.
The Marquis of CLAN RICARDE objected to the con-
tinuance of the Bill, because it occasioned a great expense.
The discuss ens might he an amusement to some of their
Lordehipe, but they caused a heavy expense to the country.
Lord DURHAM denied that the charge contained in
the preamble of the Bill had been made out. His
Lordship entered into a brief Watery of the elections,
and showed that the evidence, which was yet all ex.parie,
only eliminated a very small portion of the electors at
some elections, while at other election there were no
proofs of corruption whatever. It wu for them to con-
eider whether, at the present stage of the Session, and
after so many Bills hid been put aside, it would be judicious
to go on with this one.
The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that as so much
time had been consumed on this Bill, it would be better
to go on with it, in order that the House might come to a
final decision on the subject. lie himself bad no interest

to sit de die in die, the plan might sumer, but short of
that it could not *tweed.
The. Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that if they pur-
posed sitting de die in die, he would not divide the House.
Earl GREY was of opinion that there was aro time left
tor the proper eonsideration of the Bill alter the declara-
tion of. his Majesty's Ministers. It therefore appeared Gr
hint to be desirable to get rid of the Bill altogether, with
all possible respect, however, towards the other House.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said thst he should feel di..
posed to postpone any measure rather than this, on which
the House of Commoris had bestowed greet pain., and,
therefore, to „light which now would be disrespectful to-
wards them.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY wished to sok the
Noble and Learned Lord bow long he thought it likely that
the proceedings would last?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that as he was ut-
terly ignorant of the define° to be brought forward, he
could give no opinion on the subjeot.
A further conversation afterwards took place between
the Earl of M.AI3OISIIII4Y, the Marquis of SAIMUSURY,
