limit to the debate, since a long discussion would take
place on the transfer of the borough of Downton from
schedule B to schedule A.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
he did not propose to go further than Downton that night.
On the question "That the borough of Callington stand
part of schedule A,"
Mr. BARING rose amid great laughter. He would
not detain the Committee with many observations, as the
population of the borough was clearly under the line taken
by the Noble Lord according to the census of 1821. He
protested that he had never given a farthing in money to
any voter of that borough, nor got for any of them places
either in the Excise, or in the Customs, or in any other
department of Government. It was therefore impossible
for any man to impute to this borough any impurities of
a personal nature.—(Hear, and a laugh.)
Mr. CROKER if he wished to make any additions to
this schedule, need not move the insertion of the borough
according to its place in the alphabetical list. If so, he
would postpone proposing the addition of any boroughs to
this schedule, until the Noble Lord had reached the ter-
mination of his schedule.
Lord J. RUSSELL assented.
The question was then put and carried, " That the bo-
rough of Callington stand part of the schedule."
On the question " That the borough of Camelford stand
part of schedule A,"
Mr. MILBANK stated, that when he last went to Ca-
melford, to visit his constituents, his constituents told him
and his Hon. Colleague, that they had determined unani-
mously to gire up their exclusive privilege, because they
felt that such a sacrifice was demanded from them by their
country.---(Cheers from the Ministerial benches.)
Sir R. PEEL thought that he was now entitled to take
credit for the fact, that these boroughs were not always
influenced by corrupt motives.—(Cheers from the Oppo-
sition.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL though that upon the
same evidence he too was entitled to take credit for the
fact, that the reaction which the Right Hon. Baronet had
asserted to have commenced, had no existence in this bo-
rough.—(Cheers from the Ministerial benches.)
Sir R. PEEL—That might be, because the Hon. Mem-
ber's visit was so soon after the dissolution.
Sir C. WETHERELL—So, then, this borough of
Camelford is a felo de se.—(Cheers and laughter.) It
must he hurled, therefore, in the cross roads--(Laughter)
—and the Hon. Members for Camelford must have the
honour of driving the stake through at its heart at the
performance of its disgraceful obsequies.—(Cheers and
laughter from the Opposition. )—I must call out " Fie,
he, upon suicidal Camelford."—(Laughter from the Mi-
nisterial benches.)
Mr. MILBANK was not at all surprised at the obser-
vations of the Hon. and Learned Member for Borough.
bridge. He had got the key to them the last time that
he passed through that place; for the people there had
told him that they were afraid, if this Bill passed, it would
be the death of the poor old gentleman who represented
them. —(Roars of laughter.)
The question was then carried, " That the hot ough of
Camelford stand part of schedule A."
No observations were made on the question being put
and cart ied " That the borough of Castle Rising stand part
of the saute schedule."

The CHAIRMAN then put the question on the borough
of Corfe Castle, amidst great laughter.
Mr. W. I3ANKES rose in its behalf, amidst loud and
long vollies of laughter. Whatever might be said here-
after of the fate of Corfe Castle, it should not at least have
those disgraceful obsequies performed upon it which his
Hon. and Learned Friend had just bestowed on the borough
of Camelford. Tlie justification for the extinction of
Curie Castle could not be that it was either a decayed or
a decaying borough ; for the last 10 years there had been
an increase of 200 in its population, making its present
population no less than 1,700. He would not trouble
the House with any further observations, as he could not
take this borough out of the operation of the principles of
the Bill.

The doom of Corfe Castle was then sealed, amidst deafen-
ing cheers from the Ministerial benches.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit again to-morrow.
The Queen's Dower Bill pawed through the Commit-
tee.—Report to be received to-morrow.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock.
