THIRD READINGS.

The following Bills were read a third time and passed:
Bristol "and Exeter Railway (Branch from Bleadon to
Wells, Glastonbury, and Street).
Bristol and Exeter Railway (Taunton and Castle Cary
Branch).
Leeds and Thirsk Railway (Harrogate and Pateley
Branch, &c.)
Leeds and Thirsk Railway (Branch from Melmerby to

Sir JAMES GRAHAM felt it his duty before
the House proceeded to consider the next Bill, to
call its attention to a fact that had taken place yes-
terday with respect to one of the railway Bills
before the House. Printed papers had been distributed
to the Members of the House, imputing to Mr. Milnes,
the father of Mr. Monckton Milnes, and another
gentleman, opposition to the Bill, for the purpose of
obtaining compensation for land of theirs over which
the railway was to go. He thought such a course was
most improper and highly objectionable, and ought to
meet with the reprehension of the House.
Mr. M. MILNES denied that his father had given any
opposition to the Bill, and stated that he had no land
over which it was intended to carry the railway.
After some discussion, in which Mr. CHRISTOPHER
and Lord GALWAY took part,
Tho SPEAKER suggested that the House should lay
down a rule, that in future no statement should be cir-
culated unless signed by a Parliamentary agent.
The subject then dropped.

REPORTS.
On the question being put for considering the report
of the Edinburgh and Northern Railway (Roscobie,
Keltyhcad, and Glencraig Branches, &c.)
Mr. ELLICE proposed the insertion of a clause giving
the company power to indemnify the trustees of turnpike
roads from any injury the railway might inflict upon
them.
Mr. GREENE opposed the insertion of the clause.
Mr. ELLICE said the clause had been inserted in all
other Scotch Railway Bills; and he was afraid if the
House did not consent to its introduction the House of
Lords, who always insisted upon the insertion of such a
clause, would throw the Bill out.
After a short discussion, the proposed clause was
withdrawn, and the report agreed to.
The following reports were then considered, and
agreed to:—
