IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 15.
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS.

Lord REDESDALE then rose, pursuant to notice, to
ask a question relative to the duties of the Railway
Commissioners, and the position in which they were
considered to stand with relation to the Government. 115
said the question was one of great importance, when
they considered the variety of questions to which it gave
rise, one of which had just been raised by a Noble Lord,
who, when he put his question, did not seem to be
aware of the presence of the head of that very Railway
Board to whom all such questions ought to be referred.
He would briefly recal to their Lordships' recollection
the circumstances under which that board had been
formed. In 1844, when the railway question was be-
coming of the greatest importance to this country, and
when it was evident to all that in the ensuing session of
Parliamen such a mass of Railway Bills would be brought
forward, that unless some assistance were rendered to
the Committees on them,the public interests would suffer,
a Railway Department of the Board of Trade was
formed, to consider and report on those Bills. The
, Noble Lord (Lord Granville) who presided over that
department, gave the greatest attention to those Bills
during the vacation, and from time to time issued re-
ports calculated to prove of the greatest public benefit.
When those reports appeared it was thought Govern-
ment would give its support to the recommendations of
their own board, and if it had so acted the result would
hare tended to the public good ; but no sooner was the
question mooted than it was seen that the Government
did nut mean to support the reports of the Board of
Trade, and the Committee on every Bill had more
weight than those reports. Indeed in every instance in
which the reports were opposed to the decision of a
Committee the latter was maintained as if no previous
public investigation had taken place. The House of
Commons at last became so sensible of the mischiefs
likely to arise from this course, that an address
to the Crown was moved for the appointment of
Railway Commissioners. At this period arose the
contest known as the Battle of the Gauges, and
the Government, aware of the importance of taking up
the subject in a serious manner, the report of the Board
of Trade was taken as a Government measure, resolu-
tions on the subject were moved in both Houses, and a
Bill introduced and passed as a Government measure to
settle the question. It was then thought desirable to
appoint the Railway Board and to form Railway Com-
missioners, who would take cognizance of all things be-
longing to that department, and report their opinions
specially by orders of both Houses of Parliament. Such
a board was necessary to guide Parliament for every en-
suing session, and should such board not make such re-
ports they would be guilty of dereliction of duty, and be
consequently upset. He thought it unjust, as the Rail-
way Board had been of the greatest advantage to the
Parliament and the country, when questions of great and
paramount importance were brought before the two
Houses. There were also the gauge question and
others in which this board took a decided and
very useful step. He considered the Govern-
ment should take a decided line to pass a Bill
for the public bonefit, so as to add more power to this
board, which was at present little better than useless.
He should also say that the amalgamation of railways
should be looked to by the Government, in which this
board has taken a decided position, and he believed no
other board stood in the same position as this. He
would refer to the superintendent of Woods and Forests,
and to other such boards, and ask was there not a very
great difference between the Railway Boar] and these.
In fact, he thought that the power of the Railway Board
was done away with when it was transferred to the Pre-
sident and Vice-President of the Board of Trade.
When it was known to both Houses of Parliament that
lines were made more for the good of companies than fur
the advantage of the public, there was a feeling on the
part of the House that more stringent measures were
cessary, and that this board should have full powers.
It was also thought desirable to continue this board,
which in those powers would be the means of restor-

ing confidence to the country, and with such an intention
a Bill was brought into the House of Commons, which
he regretted to say was allowed to drop, and thus the
board has not the power over railways which would be
advantageous to the public interest. Such a state of
things he did not think creditable to the Government or
to the Railway Board.
The Marquis of LANSDO VITNE admitted the im-
portance of the subject, which related to the conduct of
the railway system in this country, and the amount of
interference which was more or less incumbent on the
Government and Parliament. The question of the
Noble Lord raised two points; first, whether it was ex-
pedient that there should be such a board intrusted with
the charge of inquiring into the state of railways and
the accidents arising out of them ; and, secondly, if
so, what should ha the duties of such a board. lie
had no hesitation in saying, that though there had '
been an alteration in the administration of the board,
consequent on the person who had been at its head
ceasing to exercise those functions which had been
personally intrusted to him ; and though the office
which that gentleman held, and the salary attached
to it, had, on a principle of economy, been suppressed,
yet the Railway Board itself existed, entrusted with
all the same functions and precisely in the same relation,
in respect to the Government, as before; and, though the
Noble Lord seemed to think that the board had become
of little importance, and insignificant in the eyes of Par-
liament, yet he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) considered
that its labours were of real importance, the Commis-
sioners and their paid officers operating, from week to
week, and from day to day, for the public benefit, and
for the assistance of the Government and the Parlia-
ment. In order that the Noble Lord might know how
numerous and important the functions of the board were,
he would state the various points to which its attention
was particularly and constantly directed. They embraced
the opening of railways, and the examination of the
lines in reference to their fitness for the purpose of
public travelling; inquiries into those cases of ac-
cidents which unfortunately too frequently occurred ;
the regulation of cheap trains ; the consideration of
all the bye-laws relating to these subjects, and all the
miscellaneous powers relating to lines ; references
under special Acts of Parliament, of disputes occurring
between company and company, references under the
standing orders, and the special duty of making reports
thereon • and the consideration of a vast number of colo-
nial railway schemes, which from time to time were sub-
mitted to the Commissioners. Not less than 780 lines
had been inspected and reported on the course of last
year, and in the present year a greater number would
be inspected. Extensive investigations had been made
in cases of accidents, and, in respect to 22 of those cases,
special reports had been made by the engineers acting
under the authority of the Commissioners, and valuable
suggestions had been made by the engineers, which, in
most cases, if not in all, were willingly acted upon by
the companies. The Commissioners had also inserted
in Acts of Parliament a number of special clauses
relating to a variety of different subjects. It could
not be said, then, that the board was not discharging
useful and important duties, or that it was not in the
full exercise of those functions with which Parlia-
ment had intrusted it, and with which he thought it
should be intrusted, for these duties ought to be per-
formed, for the public convenience and safety, under the
authority of the Commissioners, by paid officers, care-
fully selected and experienced, whose attention was not
liable to be distracted by other occupations. The Noble
Lord inquired what authority this board was supposed to
have? Undoubtedly the board had not any binding
authority either on the Government or the Parliament;
but it was impossible for any person anxious to avail
himself on railway matters of important information
placed within his reach not to be aware how great a
moral weight was attached to the opinions pronounced
by the Railway Board. At the same time he (the Mar-
quis of Lansdowne) was not prepared to say that the
Government or the Parliament ought to consider it-
self so bound by the opinions of the board as to re-
ject all further information, or refuse to hear
any other person. All that Government and Parlia-
ment could do was to attach due weight to the opi-
nion of the board. Such had been, and such would
continue to be the functions of the board, usefully
exercised for the public service. If the Noble Lord
asked him whether he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) was
prepared to say that it would at no time be found ex-
pedient to give to this board or some other still greater
powers of control in respect to railways, he, of course,
was not prepared to say that the time would not come
when a still further extension of the powers of the board
might gradually take place. On this subject, however,
a great deal of jealousy was entertained by the railway
companies, and he did not think that matters had as yet
reached such a point as would justify the Government
in demandino• further powers. The President and Vice-
President! of the Board of Control would give their at-
tention to railway matters, receiving the assistance of
the most efficient officers, and he had no doubt that the
application of the Railway Board would continue to be
as vigilant as it had been during the whole of the last
year.

Lord REDESDALE said, in reference to the remark
of the Noble Marquis, that weight was attached to the
opinions of the Railway Board, he was almost afraid that
no weight was given to them at all.
Earl GRANVILLE conceived that the Noble Loren;
observations had more reference to the old board than
to the Railway Commission, for there was not one in-
stance in which the recommendations of the latter had
not been attended to. He thought that the board might
be made more useful, but even with its present powers
he could not for one moment admit that the board was
useless.
Lord REDESDALE thought that those to whom the
gauge question had been referred ought not to have left
Parliament without more advice on the subject.
THE SPANISH CORRESPONDENCE.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in moving that the
House do then adjourn, regretted that he had not pre-
viously been able to lay before them copies of the Spanish
correspondence, but he hoped to-morrow to present the
whole of that correspondence.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
