interrupted. As Bills were before the House in which
universal interests were involved, and as to-morrow
was the day for receiving reports, he considered that
they might meet at twelve each day, that the private
business might be proceeded with without interruption.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said, he might be allowed to
say that he made the motion for the adjournment
of the House with the perfect concurrence of the
Noble Lord (John Russell), but the Noble Lord
stated, at the same time, that if it was necessary that
the House should sit for the termination of the
private business, he should not object to it. Since he
spoke he had received a note from the Noble Lord,
stating that he had no objection to the House sitting
until Friday.
Mr. L A BOUCHERE considered that if private busi-
ness, in which parties, perhaps, had some direct interest,
were carried on by a thin House, the worst consequences
could not fail to ensue. If the Right Hon. Baronet
the Vice-President of the Board of Trade (Sir G. Clerk
would have the kindness to attend there during the pri-
vate business, and assist the deliberations of the House
with his influence and authority, such evils might be ob
viated.

ir G. CLERK would' do his best to watch over the
private business of the House, but he hoped soon to have
the assistance of some of the Right Hon. Gentlemen
opposite.—(Laughter.) No doubt the private business
would occupy a great deal of the attention of that
House. .

Mr. GREENE suggested, in order to obviate par-
tiality, unopposed Bills should be taken.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had in-
tended to have followed up the motion his Right Hon.
Friend had made to the House, with the consent of the
Noble Lord, with a motion that the Railway Commit
tees should sit notwithstanding the adjournment of the
House, and that all reports should not be taken until
Friday.—(Hear.)
After a few words from Mr. SHAW and Mr. F.
FRENCH, the motion was put and carried.
Lord S ANDON wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet
the Secretary for the Home Department, whether the
Corporation of the City of London intended to take any
steps for the improvement of the prisons under their
jurisdiction ?
Sir J. GRAHAM (as we understood) said that the
Corporation of the City of London had adopted some
measures with that view, but he did not know whether
they had done all that was desirable.
