tion for Ireland, and of cementing the union between Ire-
land and this country by means of it. He eould not see
whether the measure would be properly investigated before
the select committee ; but he supposed that, as the discus-
sion had been conducted in that house by interested parties
—for, with one exception, all those who had spoken upon
it were in some way interested either as stake-men or bag-
men—(laughter)---it was not unlikely that the committee
might be composed of parties having the same interest in
the subject. He had no objection to the bill going to a
select committee, provided the committee hid powers to
send for persons and papers in order to make a searching
inquiry into the matter.
Mr. BLAKE would not bind himself to all the provi-
sions of the measure, but he should vote for its seccnd
reading, in order that it might go to a select committee, and
hoped the noble lord the member for Marylebone would
withdraw his amendment.
The amendment was then withdrawn and the bill was
read a second time; and, on the motion of Mr. M‘Malt ON,
was ordered to be referred to a select committee.

ELECTION
Mr. A. ELLIS moved the second reading of this bill, the
object
days to one, the same as in Eng-
land.

Mr. HENNESSY considered that the measure would be
the means of increasing the expenses of Irish county elec-
tions, and as they had not the same extensive railway
system in Ireland as they had in England it would be im-
possible to poll one of the Men counties in one day.
Colonel FRENCH supported the measure, as by increas-
ing the number of polling places they could prevent votcrs
being conveyed large distances.
Mr. LEFROY also supported the measure, as he thought
one day quite sufficient.

that he had no objection to limit the polling to one day or
to one hour, if possible, but he objected to the measure in

doubt it would do the same in Ireland.
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Tuesday next.

Grogan, and Colonel Greville be added to the committee.
