CONSIDERA HON OF BILLS.
On the motion for considering the Chorley Water-
works Bill,
Mr. CARDWELL, on behalf of the corporation of
Liverpool, complained that the promoters of this Bill
had departed from their original Act of Parliament in
the appropriation of their capital. The corporation of
Liverpool petitioned against the present Bill, the object
of which was to raise additional capital; but the Com-
mittee, acting ender the impression that the corporation
could apply to one of the courts of law to redress the
grievance which they complained of, refused to hear
them. Now it so happened that the promoters of the
Bill had so framed their original Act as to preclude
that appeal to a court of law, and therefore,
unless the House at this stage inserted a proviso to the
contrary, this Bill would trench upon certain works of
the Liverpool corporation and seriously injure the rate-
Payers of that town. He moved the insertion of a pro-
viso to that effect.
Hr. CHRISTOPHER opposed the proviso, and, as
man of the Committee which sat upon this Bill,
