HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 14.

The House sat to-day at Twelve o'clock, for the pur-
pose of reading a third time, in order that they might
be taken up to the Lords this evening, no less than fifty-
one railway Bills.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve
o'clock.
On the motion that the Committees have leave to sit,
notwithstanding the sitting of the House,
Sir R. INGLIS objected to the motion. It was quite
impossible that Members could do their duty in that
[louse and in Committee also. If the House was to sit
at so early an hour in the day, the Committee ought
not.
Mr. WILSON PATTEN said that the House sat at
so early an hour that morning for a special purpose,
namely, that of reading certain Bills a third time, into
which it had been necessary to introduce a clause in
conformity with the resolution passed the other day. It
there were any Bills, to the third reading of which there
were special objections, the third reading of those Bills
might be postponed, but it would be highly inconvenient
to prevent the sitting of Committees in consequence of
the sitting of the House.
Sir G. CLERK observed that it would be better for
the Hon. Baronet the Member for Oxford to move that
the House should now adjourn to four o'clock than put
an end to the sitting of the Committees for this day.
The motion was then agreed to, and leave was given
for the Committee to sit, notwithstanding the sitting of
the House.
