Member was nearly inaudible in . iuence of the loud
cries of " Divide.")
Dr. NICHOLL contended that Parliament had con-
templated a future period when a deviation from the
4 fret 8 inch gauge would be necessary, and therefore he
should•support the decision of the Committee.
Mr. STRUTT explained.
Sir G. STRICKLAND said that where the Com-
mittee thought they should pass a line on the broad
g•euge principle they had a right todo so, and the Souse
should support the decision.
Mr. FERRAND said he thought that public Bills
should have precedence of these private Bills. He had
attended evening after evening, and he found the House
occupied with discussions on these private Bills.
The amendment was then read and passed.
After a few words from Mr. HODGSON,
Mr. JOHN DENNISTOUN thought it better St
once to decide upon the clause.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. On oU

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Mr. GISBORNE rose to call the attention of the
House to a paragraph which appeared in the Tinos
newspaper connected with the late lamentable loss of
; life at Dee Bridge. Mr. Locke (who was doubtless well
known to many Members of that House as an eminent
engineer, who had been particularly fortunate in the
character and stability of his works), was reported
to have said at the coroner's inquest that great blame
was attached to the Board of Works, the Railway Com-
missioners, and the Admiralty, who required that bridgeo
should be built with that large span which was likely to
endanger the safety of human life. He (Mr. Gisborne)•
thought it his duty to bring forward this matter before
the House ; but before he did so, he referred to Mr.
Locke himself, and he would, as nearly as he could
recollect, state what was the substance of the conversa—
tion held with that gentleman. After some remark%
Mr. Locke said that the Lords of the Admiralty and the
Board of Trade were disposed in the firgt case to attend
more to the requirements of the water way than to,
the safety of the public. He added that
Stephenson, Mr. Brunel, and himself had address"'
a letter to Lord Dalhousie, embodying these opiniro,tt
which letter had never been replied to. He (Mr.
borne) thought it right to bring this matter before
