GOLLON INCLOSURE BILL.
Sir JOHN WALSH moved the second reading of this Bill.
Gollon was a piece of land which would be greatly benefited by
being inclosed, The cottagers and other occupants of the
place had been opposed to the inclosure, but were now satis-
fied that if the lands were inclosed their condition would be im-
proved.
Lord WORSLEY opposed the second reading, on the ground
that the cottagers had exercised the right of common for up-
wards of 60 3 eara, and their rights ought not to be done away
with. He had given notice of his intention of opposing the
Bill; so that the attention of the Government might be drawn
to it, the Bill being in apposition to the resolutions and
principles of the general Act passed last session of Parliament.
If the present Bill was carried, the provisions of that Act would
be done away with as far as the enclosure was concerned.
He assured them that he only opposed the Bill on public
grounds.
After a few words from Mr. EsTcouax and Mr. 111.
SUTTON,

Colonel WOOD hoped that some amendments would be in-
troduced into the Bill in reference to the principality of Wales,
for if not the whole of the principality would be thrown into
confusion.

Mr. M. PHILLIPS was of opinion that a vast amount of
good would follow from this Bill, and it would also, no doubt,
be desirable to remedy the defect with regard to Wales.
Mr. AGLIONBY was of opinion that this Bill, though a
private one, had now attained the importance of a public one,
and therefore he would say a word or two upon it. It was de-
sirable to have a special clause inserted in the general Act.
He did not oppose the Bill before the House. He wished to
have the expenditure in such cases materially reduced.
The Bill was then read a second time.
Major BERESFORD presented a petition against the
Cornish Coast Railway.
Another Hox. Md\IBER presented a petition against the
Yeovil and Dorchester Railway.
Mr. W. PATTEN moved—" That it be an instruction to
the several Committees on Railway Groups, that in all instances
in which railway companies propose to take powers of amalga-
mation with other companies, either by sale, purchase,
lease, or otherwise, the rates and charges of such com-
panies be revised, and a new maximum imposed ; and that
they specially report any circumstance which may have in-
duced them to allow such :maximum to exceed the minimum
of rates and tolls actually charged and received by the respec-
tive companies at any previous period :—that they also append
to their report a schedule, containing, under the various heads
of traffic, the minimum of rates and tolls previously received,
and the maximum which it is proposed to allow the companies
to take under their Bill.
STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE.

Mr. ESTCOURT brought [lip the report from this Com-
mittee, in which it was stated that oti the St. Albans Railway
Bill, the Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, and the Birming-
ham and Gloucester Extension Railway Bill, the standing
orders had not been complied with.
