IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Lords' Amendments to the West London Rail-
way and the Westminster Terminus Railway Bills were
eonsidered and agreed to.

THIRD READINGS.

The Stainforth's Estate and Stirling's Estate Bill were
read a third time and passed.
The Worsley's Estate Bill was read a second time.
BRIBERY BILL.

The consideration of this bill, as amended, was then
proceeded with, commencing with the adjourned debate
on Lord John Russell's clause making it illegal to give
refreshments to voters on the day of nomination or
polling.
Mr. WALPOLE opposed the clause as being at
variance with public opinion. It was hopeless to think
of inducing the elector to register his vote solely from
patriotic motives.
Mr. THORNELY strongly objected to allowing
either travelling expenses or refreshments, as it would
be only opening the door to endless bribery and
treating.
Mr. T. EGERTON said the clause was decidedly
at variance with the feelings of the country, prohibiting
as it did the commonest hospitality, and he was satisfied
that it would be largely evaded.
Mr. STANHOPE argued that it was unjust to expect
that men would come from a long distance to poll at
county elections, if they were required not only to loose
a day but to pay for their own refreshments. He there-
fore agreed with the last speaker that all parties would
combine to evade the clause.
to e
Mr. L. HEYWORTH remarked that, if they wished
elevate the character of the elector, they must abolish
both travelling expenses and refreshments.
Mr. M'CANN said the bill would be useless if they
allowed reasonable refreshments of any kind. It wag •
mistake to permit travelling expenses, but if they Per'
mitted refreshments, bribery and treating would be al
rife as ever.
Capt. SCOBELL hoped the noble lord would sae*
to the clause.
Mr. E. BALL obtained his election without the e!:
pense of a penny piece, and he never would consent T.:
sit upon any:other terms. A Member of Parliament gape
up a good deal of time to the service of his constitutor
and it was unjust to expect him to pay either travelling
or refreshment expenses, The dignity of the electors,
esr,t
well as the integrity of the member, depended in a gre,
measure upon the absence of both, and, under these n
cumstances, he should oppose treating of every kind.

Mr. ROBERTS also supported the clause.
Mr. BARROW insisted that county electors coroil
from a distance were entitled to reasonable r efresbioen
The house then divided, when there appeared.--

Majority — 42

The clause was accordingly read a second time.
Lord R. GROSVENOR moved to add the day ads'
claration to the day of nomination and polling.
Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the noble lord would 110
press his amendment.
Mr. G. BANKES moved to insert the followl
words, "not being refreshment reasonably incidental
the travelling expenses of such voter." _ .

Mr. HILDYARD seconded the amendment. visg
Lord J. RUSSELL said the object of the clause
to remove the uncertainty of the law of treating, 13'1;4
this amendment were adopted, he was afraid it Nce-g,
not attain that object, because it was very difficult e 4
decide what were reasonable refreshments to be all°;be
to travellers. He therefore could not ass,ent to "

amendment.
they
Sir F. KELLY thought it would be carrying
legislation too far to reject this amendment.
