The sole object of the Bill was to make those who were part-
ners in the new Company partners in the Glasgow Water
Works.
Mr. GREEN opposed the motion. He would put it to the
Hon. Member whether his motion was not a direct contraven-
tion of one of the Standing Orders of the House. It appeared
to him that it was quite irregular to move an instruction to a
Committee with inspect to parties who were not before it. He
hoped the Hou. Member would withdraw his motion, and if
not, that the House would negative it.
Mr. CHAUM E R S had no objection to withdraw the first
part of the instructions, but with respect to the remaining
portion of them, he thought them a fit subject of inquiry before
the Committee, and he should therefore press them on the at-
tention of the House.
Mr. WALTER CAMPBELL hoped the Hon. Member
would withdraw his instructions.—( Hear. )
Mr. CHALMERS then withdrew his instructions, as it
seemed to be the general wish of the House.
