drawn his motion. He had acted, and he intended

felt it would be a dangerous precedent, and he had said,.
when informed that it was the intention of the Hon.
Baronet to move to rescind the decision come to on a
former night, that he never could or would believe that

ral whether it was his intention to move the seem*
reading of the Administration of Justice Bill tbst'
evening.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that the!

were several Bills which it was necessary should b 6
proceeded with that evening, and as it did not appeal
probable that the second reading could be brought 10
at an ear) hour, he should postpone it to a future day'
Sir E. SUGDEN considered it matter of great cal.
plaint, that a Bill of such importance should be brougl4
forward at so late a period of the Session, and the c!ill
of that complaint was increased by its being postponed
when it actually stood on the first Order of the Day'
Perhaps the Learned Attorney-General would 6% "
day, then, for the second reading.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could not 6% .'
..e
day in the absence of the NoMe Lord, the Seerett
for the Colonies ; but he would take care that Rig'
Hon. Gentlemen should have full notice when' thel.l".
cond reading took place. la

RAILWAYS BILL.. the
Lord SEYMOUR moved the rer,ommitar 0'
Railways Bill.
The House having resolved itself into Com toitteef
Mr. EASTHOPE said it wo'ald be in the recc„ oil
tion of the House that there lrad been no diseussi'Aioi
the principle of this Bill. . It was the understll°;iol
when the Bill was -read a second time, dl
the discussion should hr.: taken before the reeoolll4l
of the Bill. He was desirous of occupying the to
tion of the Hoture for a short time, anti bed bets
anxious to leara what the views of the House 710
upon the principle of the Bill. In the Comtnitt,eelot
found himself in a very small minority, obr 011
as he did to any legislation on this subject with lot
imperkct information. To his own mind it was I°o4,
of great surprise that railway communications
too
railway undertakings had proceeded so viell'olo
his objection to any legislation at Pr-01°
was, that railways up to the present or,
had proceeded better than could possibly bet,
petted. When the House was directing Wit. Ole
"
to matters of trade and commerce, it must -obi
vious to every body, that before it legislated upon theo
ject, it ought distinctly to have the whole matter hor°
So far from any coal-administration, so far fronin
abuse or disregard of the public convenience, iisirce,
irom anything of that kind, the individuals in the vios
tion of the various railways appeared to understood
most fully that the interests of the public ete,
their own were identified ; there was o°,sofer
dente of any Company having acted in a 43,.''',:0011;
spirit. There was much want of information upon t11:001`'
ject, and he thought the Bill of his Noble Friel° "otre
he much better considered next Session. Tbereothef
parts of it which he would support-:--there
parts to which he must offer his strenuous opPo ,;0 "1°
i
and there were omissions which it would be bis fit
attempt to fill up, if the House decided upon goingtagb,
,"
the Bill at that late period of the Session. Het qf-
they might proceed with greater benefit, and 'NI 1,,p01
danger to those important undertakings, to legislateoe
the subject next Session ; however if the Hcuse 191.: 016
to proceed with the Bill then he had no ohjectiset
would apply himself te its provisions.
