KIRIiSTALL AND SHIPLEY ROAD BILL.

Sir G. STRICKLAND then moved the Order of the
Day for the adjourned debate on the Kirkstall, Ilkley, and
Shipley Road Bill.
Mr. LOWTHER made some allusion to the clause pro-
posed by him on Friday last, for the exemption of carts carry-
ing coals ; but his remarks were inaudible.
Mr. W. DUNCONIBE said the Bill appeared to him to
be founded in injustice, and on these grounds he should cer-
tainly oppose it.
Atter a few words from Sir G. STRICKLAND, the Bill
was read a third time and passed.
THE CORONATION.
The SPEAKER stated that he was commanded by her
Majesty to inform the Members that her Majesty had appointed
a gallery in the Abbey for their accommodation, at the solem-
nity of her Royal Coronation, which was to take place on
Thursday the 23th day of June. But her Majesty
did not think it convenient for the House to take any part in
the proceedings.
Lord J. RUSSELL moved that a Select Committee be ap-
pointed to examine and report how the Members of that House
might, with the most convenience, see her Majesty's Corona-
tion, and what order should be observed thereon.
Agreed to.
THE LATE RIOTS AT CANTERBURY.

Sir E. KNATCHBULL moved for a copy of the inquisi-
tion and other proceedings relatiie to the lunacy of John
Nicholls Thom, alias Sir WVillia► Courtenay. Ile believed
that the Noble Lord could have no objection to the production
of those papers ; and he begged to give notice that on Tuesday
next he should make a specific motion on the subject. He named
Tuesday as the earliest day on which he considered he should
have an opportunity of bringing it forward, but if the Noble
Lord would take it on an earlier day he (Sir E. Knatchbul l)
would be perfectly ready to bring it forward.
Lord J. RUSSELL—If the Hon. Baronet would state
the specific nature of his motion—( Loud cheers)—he ( ',Ord
J. Russell) would be ready to name an early day for its dis-
cussion. A practice had lately grown up, which was a very
inconvenient one, of concealing the nature of a motion until it
was brought before the House. —( Cheers. )
Sir E. KNATCHBUL L was very desirous that the Noble
Lord should be put in early possession of the terms of the
motion be would feel it his duty to lay before the House. He
had only seen the papers that morning, and had not finally
made up his mind as to the nature of the motion it should
be his duty to submit to the House. As soon as he
had done so, he would inform the Noble Lord, and he would
then undertake that the Noble Lord should be in full posses-
sion of the terms of his motion long before the motion was
brought forward.

M. HUME hoped that not only the Noble Lord, but the
whole House, would receive early intimation of the course
intended to he taken by the Right Hon. Baronet.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL could assure the Right Hon.
Baronet and the House, that he had not the slightest objection
to the fullest inquiry into all the circumstances connected
with this unfortunate case.

Sir H. VIVIAN, being the person through whom the pe-
tition was presented to the Noble Lord, begged to state that
the more full the inquiry entered into was, the better he
would be satisfied.

Mr. J. E. VIVIAN was prepared at any time to state, that
the Honourable and Gallant Gentleman was perfectly free
from blame, and was in no way connected with the case, ex-
cept as coming through him, and he trusted that a most full
and rigorous enquiry would be immediately instituted.
THE VIXEN.

Sir STRATFORD CANNING moved for certain papers
relative to the capture of the Vixen.
Agreed to.
BRITISH MUSEUM.

Sir R. PEEL gave notice that he should, to-morrow, move for
the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the plans
and estimates for the completion of the building of the British
Museum.
