DUTY.

On the motion of Lord R. GROSVENOR, the
order of the day, for the second reading of the bill for
the abolition of the duty was read and discharged, as the
bill contained an informality.
The NOBLE LOAD then moved for leave to bring in an
amended bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER inti-
mated that the motion could not be made without notice,
and it was postponed accordingly.

CONSOLIDATED FUNDS BILL.
This bill-was read a third time and passed.
CANTERBURY ELECTION.
Mr. K. SEYMOUR would request the house to coin-
cide with the opinion of the committee which had tried
the petition that further inquiry was necessary;; the feel-
ing of the house was to put an end to bribery and
corruption. An honourable gentleman apposite
said it was humbug, but that honourable gentle-
man would see that the proceedings of the election
committees had not been humbug. The moral sense of
the country was opposed to this system of corruption,
and it was the duty of the house to consider a measure
which would prevent it. At the recent election the Blue
party had abstained from illegal practices, and were
therefore defeated. The Red party had their committee
at Mr. Ward's, and there applications for colour tickets
were made. At the last election these tickets were
worth 10s. each.
