HOLME -RESERVOIRS (No. 2) BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Mr. COBDEN presented two petitions from Holm-
firth, setting out the loss of life and damage which had
been occasioned by the late casualty in the town in con-
sequence of the embankment of the reservoir giving
way, and praying that the bill be not passed into law'.
The SPEAKER observed that the petitions ought to
have been presented to the Private Bill-orice:
Mr. COBDEN said he had presented them to the
house as they related to a question of publiciinportance.
The petitions were not received.
Mr. COBDEN then moved that the bill be read a
second time this day six months, on the ground that
the reservoir was not necessary for the interests of the
manufacturers in the valley, and that it was utterly
impossible to have it so constructed as to render it en-
tirely safe, and to relieve the minds of the inhabitants
from all anxiety. The bill was promoted by the mortga-
gees of the reservoir, through whose neglect the late fetal
accident happened, and he believed that they would not
under this bill have sufficient funds to maintain the new
reservoir in perfect repair.
Mr. B. DENISON, as chairman of the committee to
whom the bill was referred, said it was supported by the
majority of the millowners in the valley, and that the
committee was of opinion that it.should be reported fa-
vourably to the house. A yearly inspection of the works
was required by the bill.
Viscount GODERICH supported the bill.
Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the house ought to
know whether the committee had specially directed
their attention to the question of public safety.
Sir J. SHELLEY also considered that the committee
ought to state whether they were satisfied that they had
taken precautions to prevent a recurrence of the
casualty.
Mr. B. DENISON explained that powers had been
given to the parties to raise an ample sum of money
yearly for the repair of the embankments and other
works.
Sir R. H. INGLIS thought that no case had been
made out for disturbing the decision of the committee.
Mr. MUNTZ supported the bill.
After some further discussion, in which Mr. Crossley,
Mr. flume, and Mr. Moyer took part,
The house divided, when there appeared—.
