offensive to a number of Irish Members, ought to be
disclaimed.

Mr. REYNOLDS said that having moved that the
Chairman leave the chair, and having been appealed to
in mild and moderate language by the Prime Minister.
it was his determination to yield to the request of tee
Noble Lord; but when he stood up to express his deter-
mination he was met by shouts that drowned his voice,
and was compelled to sit down. Immediately afxr-
werds the Hon. and Gallant Manber for Gloucester
rose and addressed the Committee in a tone of voice the
most scolding—(Laughter)—and in language the most
violent and intemperate. But he must remind the Hon.
and Gallant Member that though he (Mr. Reynolds) and
his friends were in the minorities of 41 and 29 to ma-
jorities of 306 and 230, yet that they represented the
opinions of 10,000,000 of people.—(oh, and laughter.)
He must I u7ther remind the Honourable and
Gallant Member that no matter how violent
his language might be, or how excited- he might
feel as a subordinate member of the Government,
that he (Mr. Reynolds) and his friends were in a diffe-
rent position from him, and were defendidg their creed
against agg-nesion.—(Hear, hear.) Though their oppo-
sition might render the official position of the Hen. and
Gallant Member unsafe, he would not insinuate that the
Hen. and Gallant Member was thinking, when he ad-
dressed the House. of his next quarter's salary.—(Loud
cries of " Oh.") Though he might again prevent a vote
on the motion by moving that the Chairman report pro-
gress, it was not his intention to do so, but having made
that concession he trusted no further progress would be
made with the Bill that night.—(oh.)
Lord J. RUSSELL bad not understood the Honour-
able Member to express any intention of withdrawing
the motion that the Chairman leave the chair. The Hon.
and Gallant Member for Gloucester had spoken without
any communication with him, and had addressed the
Committee on his own responsibility. As the matter
now stood, he thought it would be advisable to decide
on the proviso, and not to proceed further that night
with the Bill.

The Committee then divided, when there appeared—
For the proviso ... 130
Against it 166
Majority against the proviso ---36
Sir F. TIIESIGER gave notice that ho would bring
the question of the recovery of the penalties by any per-
son, subject to the sanction of the Attorney-General,
again under the consideration of the House upon the
bringing up of the report.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and ob-
tained leave-to sit again on Friday se'nnight.
A considerable number of the orders on the paper
were then postponed until after the recess.

Lord NAAS moved that the House should go into
Committee on the above Bill.

The House went into Committee, Mr. BERNAL ill the
chair.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
that the chairman should leave the chair. He thought
that would be the easiest way of at once opposinc, the
Bill, against which he had received a largo number of
complaints from English distillers.
The Committee divided, when there appeared—
Ayes ... 123
Noes ... 140
Majority against the Government —l7
The announcement of the numbers was received with
loud cheering.
The Bill then went through Committee and was
ordered to be reported after the holidays.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would take the sense of the Housa on every future stsge
of the hear.)
The remaining orders of the day were then disposed
of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Two o'clock,
to Thursday next.

Mr. J. B. Smith paired in favour of Lord Naas with
Mr. C. Villiers against.
