Grand Junction Railway Bill.

ATCHERLEY AQUEDUCT.
Mr. TtionsLEY and Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY presented seve-
ral petitions against the Tettenhall and Atcherley Canal and
Aqueduct They would give it their most decided op-
position.

Mr. ORMSBY GORE thought it right to undeceive the
House as to the character of the Bill. By this canal it was not
intended to take away any of the water from that canal to which
the worthy Baronet had alluded, and of which he was so large
a proprietor. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal
had started the opposition to this Bill, which would have the
effect, if carried into operation, of saving water and of saving
2,0001., which now went into the pockets of the monopolists
—(Cheers)—the Worcestershire and Staffordshire Canal,
of which the Hon. Baronet was the largest proprietor. If the
Bill had not merit in itself throw it out altogether; but there
was no ground stated in the petitions that had been presented
why the course proposed should not be adopted. The present
Bill was a public case in opposition to private monopoly.
—( Cheers.) By the proposed Bill no less than thirty-two'
miles of water-carriage and two-thirds of freight were saved.
He regretted that the Hon. Baronet had brought so shameful
a case before the House of Commons.
Sir J. WR OTTE SLE Y challenged the Hon. Member
opposite to produce a single instance in which he had brought
a shameful case before the House.—( Great cheering.) He
submitted to the House whether the language used by the
Hon. Member was not most unparliamentary.—(Cheers.)
He considered it most indecent in him to say that he was the
largest proprietor in the Worcester and Staffordshire Canal,
which was not the fact ; in the other Canal he certainly was a

-
large proprietor, but in the Worcestershire and Staffordshire be
held only six shares.—( Cheers.) And was it to be supposed
that at his time of life—( Continued cheering)—be would sa-
crifice his character for the paltry consideration of the dividends
on thossi:shares.--( Increased cheers.) Bc considered the ob-
servations of the lion. Member uncalled for, and he trusted the
'louse would view them in the light they deserved.—( Cheers. )
Mr. 0. GO RE could assure the Hon. Baronet, that lie
did not apply the word " shameful " personally to him—(
—but he must be allowed to say the opposition was a most
shameful one on the part of the monopolists.
Mr. A TTWO 0 D rose to present petitions in favour of the
Bill.

The SPEAKER. suggested that the question no 7, before
the House was whether the Committee should be revived.
Mr. CLIVE doubted whether the question could be enter-
tained by the House at the present moment.
Mr. AGLIONBY thought the House ought to come to a
vote upon the question at the present moment.
After a few observations from the SPEAKER,
Sir J. WROTTESLEY said that he would bow to the
Chair, and withdraw his pctition.—( Hear, hear.) Tlv peti-
tion was accordingly withdrawn.
