COPYRIGHT BILL,

On the order of the day being read for the House
going into Committee on this Bit!,
Mr. WAKLEY said he l'ad a petition to present
from the Council of the British Medical Aszociltion,
which contained the names of her:l.d anthers well
known to the public—Professor Grant. of the Univer-
sity of London, Dr. Granville, Dr. Matshall HAD, and
other:,. The ptitioners prayed for an axten•ion of the
copyright in certain eases.
Mr. WARBURTON said, when the 811 w s
before the Hom.,e, i,e had given the Hon. mover due
notice that if he brought the question forward on a
Wednesday night, be would give it iris most srrenuttus
oppositi.4).—(Hear.) Here was a Bill in which the
public took a paramount interest, and it was not a fit
thine to bring it forward on a night when the IVltlisters
of the Crown were not present, ant wln,n
Members made their private engagements. Tnf, Hoa.
Member for Limerick had very, prop-trlv po-ip-etett his
motion, because he knew that. rton:y laes:,_ Members
who were mterestod in the mattry trade arrange-
m-,rits to attend some public owner els:-.3vbeve,
On Wedny.lay nights the .benc,te.l vv,:re almost
deserted, . and them- wets E.01,_ litAscw,-than
or thir y Members present.—(llear, beer, bear.,'
The Bill was one of the utmost jaupirtcuee to the
puhlic; being nothing less than fur the purpose fir de-
privi,ng the public of a privilege they no,v raja, ed.
Was it just, he would ash, to take co oxideratiln
all of importance upon a Wetto sUay, nip n the
benches would he ne4rly empty ? I, the liou.,Mo e orthe
Bill would fis the discussion ior to-ume,ow, or a: y
other night titan a Wednesday, the Hons., Itti:Lt
come to any dec:sion it pleased, and be would he
satisfied, but if he periated in bringing It nu up 41 a

nefday was the only day on which a prisate Member,
without the support of Government, could taring en any
Bill. He thonght that the course taken was a most
vexatious one, and he trusted the House would defeat it.
Strimizers were then ordered to withdraw.
The House then divided, when there appeared

Mr. WARBCRTON said he had cis en the Lrarced
Sergeant notice of the course which he intended to
pursue, if the list was persisted in on Wednesdays,. and
considering it only fair that the 81l should b fully dis-
cusscd, he now moved that the Hous,2 adjourn.—(Cries
of " Oh, o'i.")
Mr. Wit KLEY sccondrd the motion, stating that,
as Lord Juba Russell had on a form, r occasion pro-
tested against the Bill, the House might have expected •
that this would have been made a Government question.
At all events, it. was proper that the opinions of the
two great parties in that House should be -heard
and as the Noble Lord and the Right Hon. Baronet
(Sir It. Peel) had now left the House, and as nolo.
Members well knew that at seven o'clock they preferred
dining to any question of however-great national iM-
portance—(" No")—notning was more likely than that

As he enteriai:-ed strong ohjeetioas to the Bill nd to
the manner in which this question had been eiscusscd,
he .I.lou-id second the motiol for the ajoaront, and
