HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAYER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
Captain PECHELL presented a petition signed by
upwards of 7,000 of the inhabitants of Brighton against
the sale of the Pavilion.
ROYAL PAVILION BRIGHTON BILL.

Mr. HAYTER moved the second reading of this Bill.
Captain PECHELL opposed the motion, and C011ii•
dered it a very cool one after the petition that he had
just presented against it. The inhabitants, in order to
benefit the town by the presence of royalty, gave up to
George IV. land which cost them 4,0001, on which he
might build the Pavilion, which, it sold, would go into
the hands of private parties and be entirely taken away
from the town. The Government now intended to sell
the Pavilion to Mr. Cubitt, or to anybody else, thus
taking away from them that sacred ground.—(Laughter.)
of that House against the Bill; and suggested
He hoped the inhabitants would be heard before a Com-
mitteethat it was duo to the inhabitants of Brighton to post-
pone the Bill until another session.
Mr. HAYTER intimated that he had no objection to
the Bill bring reterrtd to a Select Committee. his
Gallant Friend had said that two parties were interested
in this matter—the lord of the manor and the inhabit-
ants. Now it was remarkable that there were no peti-

denied chat they would have a /aces stuadi before the
Committee; it was for the Committee
to judge. The
property blonged to the Crown, and the Crown had a
perfect right to sell it if it thought proper.
Ile produce of the sale would be applied 0 wards
the expense of the buildings at Buckingham Palace,
ac had been already stated by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. The inhabitants might have a popular right,
but they certainly had no legal one. It was, however,

in the pnwer of tho House to give the lad to file inha-
bit:this it it thought proper.
After a tew words from Mr. W. PATTEN,
Sir C. BURRELL opposed the Bill, and considered it
most objectionable.
Mr. HAY PER, in reply to Sir H. WlLLourcurtv,
said that the r. strictions with respt ct to building on the
site of the pavilion would be aontinu: d.

The Bill was then read a second time.
