London, England, 1854-05-13 00:00:00

Ring, at ODA o'clock in the morning, a bill which the house
had not yet had an opportunity of deliberately considering.
(Cheers.) The bill in its present state was not the bill
which the house had allowed the President of the Board of
Trade to bring in. New clauses had been thrown in which
had not yet undergone discussion, and the bill altogether
was a compromise out of the house between the railway
directors and the Board of Trade. He concluded by mov-
ing the adjournment of the debate.
Mr. WALPOLE considered the hon. and learned mem-
ber for Youghal misunderstood the nature and effect of
the measure, which had been originally introduced for the
purpose of giving railway directors necessary powers as to
the transmission of goods, and a proper tribunal in refer-
ence to any question with reference to the same. The bill
was not framed so as to interfere with the railway com-
panies unnecessarily, or in any way to trespass on private
interest, but merely to give requisite facilities to such
companies as to the transmission of goods, and to put a
stop to any undue preference or influences. For this rea-
son he supported the bill, which he thought ought to pass.
After a few words from Mr. HEYWOOD,
Lord J. RUSSELL said, his right hon. friend the Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade, when he introduced this bill,
tried to make it comformable to the wishes, and, as to the
time of its discussion, agreeable to the convenience of all
parties, and now the hon. and learned member for Youghal
asked that the consideration of the third reading of it
might be adjourned at the last moment. The time of the
house at the present period of the session was of so much
importance, and much of the business to be transacted of
so pressing a nature, that he trusted the house would not
be induced to delay the passing of this measure on the
present occasion, but would consent to the third reading
of it. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. F. SCOTT thought the bill ought to have the most
careful consideration, and, although he believed it to have
been framed with the very best intentions, still he feared
it would fall very far short of the object contemplated.
Mr. MALINS considered it exceedingly improper to
discuss these kind of bills at that hour of the morning (a
quarter past 1 o'clock). Considering the great importance
of the measure, however, to the railway interests and to
the public generally, he hoped that his hon. and learned
friend would withdraw his motion as to the adjournment,
and allow the bill to pass.
Mr. LOCKE hoped that the hon. member for Youghal
would not be prevailed on to withdraw his motion for ad-
journment. He had never before seen a question of such
great importance discussed so lightly or with so little con-
sideration.
Mr. D. WADDINGTON supported the adjournment.
Mr. JAMES M`GREGOR thought the right hon. gen-
tleman ought to consent to a postponement, were it only
out of consideration for the interests of his own bill.
Mr. CARDWELL felt he had no volition in the matter,
as he had been acting merely as the servant of the public
throughout the whole progress of the measure. The pres-
sure of public business forbade delay, and the immediate
passing of the bill was also required by the state of private
business, and he must therefore call on the house—and
especially those who desired to see some protection for the
public enacted—to support him in pressing it forward.
Mr. PETO pointed out that this was a very different
bill from that originally introduced. Sufficient time, he
contended, had not been allowed for its consideration, and
it would ill become the house to insist on passing it at
half-past 1 in the morning.
The house then divided the numbers were :
For the adjournment
Against it
Majority against
On the question that the bill be now read a third time,
Mr. H. BROWN moved the adjournment of the House,
on the ground that the bill, as amended, had not been re-
printed.

the company, which had been completely registered Hundreds.
under the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 110, could maintain
the present action against the defendant, who was a
shareholder of the company.
Mr. Sergeant Shee (with whom was Mr. Keane), in
support of the company's right to maintain the action,
relied on the express terms of the act to that effect.
Mr. Metcalfe, on the part of the defendant, contended
that the right of the company to sue at law was confined
to calls, and that their remedy in this case was in the
Court of Chancery.
The Court, however, decided that, as the company
had been a corporation, it could sue the defendant in its
corporate capacity, and that express terms had been
introduced in order to obviate any doubts which might
arise.
Judgment for the plaintiffs.
