IMPERIAL PARLLIMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This Day.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 25 minutes past 12
o'clock, the full compliment of members--forty—not having
been obtained before that time.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Rumney and Brecon and Merthyr Tydvil Junction
Railways bill was read a third time.
THE INDIAN BUDGET.
Mr. BAZLEY intimated that to-morrow he should ask
the Secretary of State for India, when he intended to make
his animal financial statement.
KITCHEN AND REFRESHMENT-ROOMS.—
ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Sir DE LACY EVANS, in the absence of the hon. and
gallant member for Roscommon (Colonel French), proposed
the following motion :—" That in the opinion of this house
the enlargement of the dining rooms proposed by the com-
mittee on the kitchen and refreshment rooms should be
carried into execution." The proposed alteration was indis-
pensable for the comfort and convenience of the members.
Lord HOTHAM opposed the motion, because the pro-
posed alterations would interfere with the division lobbies,
and would be a waste of public money. The fact was that
some hon. members desired to assimilate the refreshment
room of the House of Commons to the coffee•rooms of the
Clubs, which he considered an objectionable step. One of
the coffee-rooms was open to the public. If, therefore,
hon. members required more accommodation this room
could be kept entirely for them. It was proposed to allow
the manager of the rooms £2OO a year, in order to obtain
better viands and wines. He objected to the expenditure
of the public money on any such purpose, because it would
be akin to paying wages to members of Parliament. Let
hon members pay for what they had.
Sir P. O'BRIEN supported the proposed change.
Sir J. TRELAWNY deprecated the expenditure of
public money on members' dinner a. Such a suggestion
made in public made his blood boil. (Laughter.) If they
acceded to such an allowance they would greatly lower the
dignity of the house.
Mr. BASS considered that an ample allowance should
be allowed to the caterer.

Mr. OSBORNE was surprised at a financial reformer
like the hon. member (Mr. Bass) supporting this motion.
Mr. BASS—No, no.
Mr. OSBORNE understood that ho sat for Derby on
financial reform principles.
Mr. BASS—Nothing of the kind.

Mr. OSBORNE said the house was so defectively con- I
structed, even at a cost of £3,000,000, that neither that
house nor any part of it was property constructed. The
committee who drew up the report on the proposed altera-
tions not only desired a sumptuous dining room, but cel-
lars where some eminent wine merchants who had been
selected could deposit stocks of wines. If this were
permitted, the Speaker would often find himself alone in
the chair, and the hon. member for Derby and the others
who had signed the report would spend their days and
nights in drinking. (Roars of laughter.) The debates
were never better conducted than in the old days of mutton
and chops at Bellamy's,
Col. WHITE explained that the cellars were already
constructed. The commtttee, in making their recommen-
dations, s'mply desired to promote the comfort and conve-
nience of the members. Mr. Steers supplied wine at a very
reasonable price.
Mr. BENTINCK supported the motion.
_ _

Mr. COWPER said the house ought to be much obliged
to the committee for the trouble they had taken in this
matter. It would be well to try and discover whether better
accommodation could not be made without the proposed
expenditure of £i,ooo, (Hear, hear.) He advised the hon.
and gallant member to withdraw his motion and defor the
matter until next session.
After a few words from Mr. DILVYN,
Sir DE LACY EVANS withdrew the motion.
