NEW WRIT.

-
On the motion of an HON. MEMBER, a new writ was
ordered to be issued for the shire of Edinburgh, in the
room of Sir J. Hope, deceased.

WILTS, SOMERSET, AND DORSET RAILWAY,
Mr. CARDWELL brought up the report of the gene-
ral committee on railways, recommending that the peti-
tion of inhabitants of Wilts, Somerset, and Dorset, and
of proprietors of land, complaining of the non-execution
of certain lines of railway authorised to be constructed
under the acts of the Great Western and Bristol and
Exeter Railway Companies, and praying for redress
(presented 25th February last), be referred to the com-
mittee on group NN, to whom the Devon and Dorset
Railway Bill stands referred.
In reply to Sir T. D. ACLAND,

Mr. OARDWELL said the committee thought the
case was one in which the rules of locus standi ought to
be altered, in order to allow the parties to be heard be-
fore the committee.

Mr. HILDYARD moved that the petitions be re-
ferred to the committee, in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the report.
Sir T. D. ACLAND opposed the motion on the
ground that it was tantamount to throwing the bill out
for the session.

Mr. K. SEYMER supported the motion.
After some discussion, in which Mr. G. Butt, Mr.
Divett, and Mr. B. Denison took part, the house
diiided, when there appeared—

been received of the English fleet having left Malta, or
of the French fleet having proceeded to the Dardanelles.
