PARLIAMENTARY FEES.
Mr. HUME, in rising to move the following resolu-
tions—That the: table of fees which was laid upon the
table of the House upon the 6th day of May, be now
read. That the several tables of fees and resolutions
relating to fees of the 22d day of February 1731, the
19th day of June 1746, the 13th day of June 1751, the
2d day of July 1801, the 4th day of April 1803, the
18th day of May 1813, the 4th day of July 1822, the
16th day of February 1829, and the 22d day of July
1830, be repealed from the time the new table of fees
shall commence. That the said table be agreed to,
and shall commence from the end of the pre-
sent session of Parliament. That the said table
of fees be made a standing order of this House—
said that it would probably be in the recollection of the
House that the Committee up stairs had recommended
an alteration in the fees of the House. Agreeably to that
report the House agreed to a resolution, by which
the Speaker was requested to revise those fees, and
to form them into a table which would be intelli-
gible to all parties, which the exiiting tables were not.
The evidence stated that it was impossible, and the Cleik
of the House could not even explain why many of the
fees were charged, nor was this to be wondered at, when
he found that they had been instituted and agreed to
by that House, in different periods, from the year 1731,
The table of these fees was now in the possession of
every Hon. Member, and in order that they might pre-
pare for the next session of Parliament, timely notice
ought to be given to all parties concerned. He b( gged,
therefore, to move that the table of fees, laid on the
table of the House on the 6th of May, be then read.
The table of fees was then read and agreed to.
RAILWAY COMPANIES CAPITAL.
Mr. HUME then moved the following resolution :
"That no railway company which, by any Act or Acts
of Parliament is now authorised to construct, purchase,
or take on lease any line or lines of railway, shall by
any future Act receive power to raise additional capital
by shares, loan, or mortgage, for the completion or ex-
tension of suck line or lines, orfor the purchase or taking
