SMITI-IFIF.LII -MARKET. BILL.
The. Duke of linnizoan prefaced his motion for
the second reading of this Bill, .ofzhieb lie bad
given notice, by a.few general observations, in
which,he insisted pn thtz,necessity of such
tic-41(14- 4‘s;,- that AV: lOWA ,-,Stivire„:...iia4ii6.o:
more extensive and comikirOttiO-A
the sale of cattle than that of -Smithfield, which .
was long known awl felt not only to be inade-
quate to its important purposes, but in nary re-
spects, on account of its present state, a nois-
mice. His Grace adverted to the great increase
of the Metropolis and its population, _and also of
its trade, commerce,. and consumption, especi-
ally of late, years, on the average of a given num'.
her of which, he observed, that of cattle wag
30,000 head, and of sheep 200,000. He con-
cluded by moving, that the Bill be now reed a
second time.

Lord ELLENBOROUG It Opposed the motion, and
pointedly combated the Bill, as tending. to the
enlargement and continuance Of that which vras
allowed to be a nuisance, and a daugerons
He alSo adverted to the disadvantageous effect
such a measure would have with respect. to that
'venerable and excellent scholastic institution, the
Charter House. He thonght it would be far
more advisable to remove the Cattle Market to
Some part of the, suburbs of London. On the whole,
he thought the Bill ought not to go to a Committee,
and therefore moved, " that it be , read a second
time that day three months.",
'rhe Earl of LAUDERDALE supported the Bill,
The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the
propose(' measure would go to increase the nui,
sance, allowed on all sides, without in the small-
est degree tending to' secure a better supply of
animal food to the metropolis. With his Learned
Friend he thought the market had far better be
removed more out of town ,'for which there were
many preferable places, particularly towards the
end of Gray'S
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE argued in favour
of the Bill.
The Earl of LtvEaroot, admitted, that if the
great public nuisanCe.in question could be removed
by no other means than those proposed by the
Bill, no consideration of private inconvenience
should prevent it. But, according to his view of
the substantial principle of the Bill, the measure
would, in effect, go, to increase and aggravate,
instead of abating that nuisance. Their. Lord,
ships should recollect that at the original inStittitioo
of the Market, it was actually in the west suburbs
of London. The words of the grant were, " lii
a void space of ground in the west, suburbs of Lon-
don !" 'They well knew the great alteration which
.had since taken place, that this market was now in
the very centre of the, town 5 and in a.sitwition
greater inconvenience, he thought, it could not be
placed. lie thought the market should he re-*
moved to:some other place, where, it would inter-
fereal little as possible with the convenience, the
comfort, and even the health of ,the inhabitants of
this.great moropolis.
The,Duke of lika)Foßn spoke in explanation.
The house then divided, when there appeared.--
