SEWERS BILL.

Mr. CHRISTOPHER moved the second reading of
this Bill.

Mr. HODGES was oppo3ed to the Bill. An Act had
passed only a few years ago, which, so far as he knew, had
given satisfaction to every county in England and Wales,
and that Bill ought not to 1N.,. repealed without some strong
ground being shown for such a course.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER said the Bill vould only sim-
plify all the laws relating to sewers. He hoped the House
would allow the Bill to be read a second time, and referred
to7a Committee up stairs, where it would be fully con-
sidered.

Mr. HODGES moved that the Bill be read a second
time that day six months.
Mr. H E hoped his lion. Friend would allow the Bill
to go to a Committee, and if, after being scrutinized there
it was objectionable, he could object to it in a future stage.
After a few words from Col. Sibthorp, Mr. C. Berkeley,
Mr. Williams, and Lord G. Somerset,
Mr. HODGES withdrew his amendment, and the Bill
was read a second time.

SUPPLY.
Mr. GORDON brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee of Supply.

Mr. PUSE'k. moved the following Members as the
Committee on the Settled Estates Drainage Bill :—Mr.
Pusey, Sir James Graham, Sir Edward Sugden, Mr.
Handley, Mr. Lynch, Lord Worsley, Sir Thomas Acland,
Captain Pechell, Mr. Ag,lionby, Mr. Frcshfield, Mr.
Hayter, Sir John Y4rde Buller, Mr. Bruges, Sir Harry
Verney, and Mr. Stansfield.

On the motion of Mr. WA KLE Y the following were
appointed the Committee on the office of Coroner of Mid-
dlesex :—Mr. Wakley, Cot. Thomas Wood, Mr. William
Williams, Mr. Mackinnon, Mr. Solicitor-General for Ire-
land, Mr. Cripps, Mr. Thomas Duncombe, ° Lord Teirr
n-
mouth, Sir James Duke, Lord Eliot, Mr. Aglionby, Sir
Thomas Fremantle, Sir Benjamin Hall, Mr. Gaily Knight,
and Sir George Strickland.
Col. T. WOOD had consented to serve upon the Com-
mittee with great reluctance, but he did so for the purpose
of vindicating the character of the Magistrates, whose con-
duct was impugned. He thought the proceeding a most
unfair and improper one.-
The Committee was then appointed, and the House Ad-
journed at a Quarter before Eleven o'Clock.
