Mr. YOUNG regretted the absence of all the Members of
the Government, as when this subject was last before the House
the President of the Board of Trade said, this being the first of
a series of railroads which came into the metropolis, he wished
for a postponement of a week, in order to enable the Govern-
ment to consider the matter, and give the House the benefit of
that consideration. He was sorry no gentleman connected
with the Administration was in his place, in order that the
House might know what decision had been come to.
Sir S. W HALL E Y said, all the plans had been laid before
his Majesty's Government.
Mr. W ILK S had a petition to present against the Bill on
the part of Mr. M‘William, a magistrate, through whose property
the proposed railway would run, and who had already appeared
before the Committee, in opposition to it. The petitioner stated
that a very active supporter of the Bill, and art Hon. Member
of that House, had applied to the petitioner's wife, and had
same

petitioner prayed the House would pause befor oaffnecirthoef
they sanc-
tioned a measure, in the conduct of which such attempts were
made to intimidate and seduce private individuals.
Mr. TOOKE really thought ' that when a it pro o • ion of
sub a nature was publicly stated, the House should' pauses be-
tore tore it gate its consent to such a measure. Thee-
allegation
Hiltalti6d lit the petition, if he understood it right, was that an
Hon. Member of that House had offered 1,0001.
indivi-
dual to withdraw his opposition to the Bill. Theorean
little difference in principle between such a proposition,
very
ou and
offering 1,0001 to any Hon. Member of that House fori
bis
support.
Mr. BENETT did not see how the offer of a sum of
money as compensation to an individual could be any ground
for opposing the further progress of the Bill.
Mr. F. FRENCH was opinion that if such petitions were
entertained the public business of that House would be very
materially obstructed.
Mr. 0. GORE was, he considered, treating the petitioner
with`great lenity In not bringing a breach of privilege against i
him, for making such an imputation upon any Hon.
Member
of that House.
Sir S. WHALLEY.—If he, as lie understood, was the
1,111,er alluded to, he would only
say that there was not one
word of truth in allegation.—( Hear, hear.) , The sum had
been merely offered to the petitioner as compensation for his
property, and the whole matter had been managed by the sur-
veyor of the Company, and he (Sir S. \V.) i had nothing what-
ever had
to do with it. The proposition been a just, honour-
able, and liberal one on the part of the Company, alt hough the
petitioner had attempted to show that ho had sustained damage
to a much greater extent.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed._
