'HOLYHEAD HARBOUR.

On the motion of Mr. WARD, the following Members
were nominated as the Select Committee for the Holy-
head Harbour Bill:—Viscount Morpeth, Mr. Ward, Mr.
W. 0. Stanley, Admiral Dundas, Colonel Pennant,
Captain Berkeley, Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, Mr. Parker,
Sir Stephen Glynn*, Mr. Tufnell, and five Members to
be added by the Committee of Selection.
Mr. GILL suggested the appointment of Lord Sandon
as a Member of the Committee.
Lord SANDON said that it was incompetent for the
Committee to proceed until they had received the report
of the Commissioner;, and that the Committee therefore
would be useless at least at the present time.
Mr. WARD said that this Committee was simply in-
tended to inquire into the objections which had been,
and he believed very needlessly, made against the plans
of Mr. Bendel!. The Noble Lord was aware that a
very large sum had been actually voted for the formation
of the harbour, and if he would serve upon the Com-
mittee there would bp a great facility given to the
labours of the Committee.
Mr. WILLIAMS was astonished that the Hon. Se-
cretary td the Admiralty had brought forward this mo-
tion at the present time. A very large sum was to be
devoted to this subject, he believed upwards of a million
and a half, and he thought that the least that could be
done would be to wait until the report of the Commis-
sioners had been made.
Mr. W. 0. STANLEY thought that the observations
of the Hon. Member for Coventry were quite out of
place, for this was no new measure. It had been amply
discussed at the time, and the Government hal given
every information in reply to the many inquiries which
had then been made. The whole of the plan had been
stated, and he thought that the Noble Lord the Member
tor Liverpool had given circulation to the most gro-s
and injurious fabrications.
Lord SANDON utterly denied that such had been the
case.
Mr. W.O. STANLEY—WeI ',those fabricat ions had been
circulated with facility among the Members of the House,
The Committee was for nothing more than to enable the
Crown to purchase land at Holyhead.
Mr. WARD was quite willing to postpone the motion
till to-morrow, as well as the other matter connected
with it.
The motion was accordingly postponed.
