the debate was resumed upon the amendment made by
➢lr. Disraeli to the 27th clause, the effect of which was to
strike out of the bill all the enactments relative to the
payments for glebes and glebe houses.
After some discussion a division was taken, and the
amendment was negatived by 31ti to 227.

Clauses 28 and 29 were agreed to, progress was reported,

LOND!it::, CUATRASI, AND DOVEII

eSte.-lay the Parliamentary Committee re-
gnlned its sitting on the bill ; Mr. I.),:nt, M.P., in
the chair.
;111r. YENABLES, Q. 0., who appeared for the rail-
way company, stated that the interval since the
adjournment on Friday had been spent by the
directors in carefully considering what course they
would adopt, and he thought that if the committee
consented to the proposition he was about to
make there would no longer be any opposition on
the part of any considerable body of persons in-
terested in the company's affairs. The clause which,
with the consent of his learned friends, the company
now proposed was as follows :—" The Board may
forthwith issue the A debenture stock by the Ar-
rangement Act, 1867, authorised, for the Furposes
therein described ; and if it shall eppear to the
arbitrators that it is expedient, for the payment cf
pressing claims against the company and for satis-
fying any rights, claims, or liens on land by general
creditors, that the amount of A debenture stock
should be increased to any sum not exceeding,
together with the £600,000 of that stock authorised
by theArrangetnent Act, 1867, the sum of £950,1)00,
and the arbitrators shall issue a certificate or certi-
ficates to that effect under their hands, the Board
shall create and issue A debenture stock to such
further amount as shall be directed by such certifi-
cate or certificates, and in that event all the enact-
ments and provisions of the Are angement Act, 1867,
with reference to A debenture stock shall be read
and construed, and may be acted upon by the Board,
as if £050,000 and not £600,000 were the amount
of the said stock by that Act authorised to be created
and issued," &c. Although that increavdille total
sum which the arbitrators might authorise, it Must
not be forgotten that the lands when freed would
realise about £250,000, when the A debenture stock
would be recouped by that amount, so that the ar-
bitrators would practically only have the power to
authorise an additional £lOO,OOO beyond the
£600,000 authorised by the Act of 1867. The
principle was agreed to, though he was not quite
sure the clause was drawn to meet that view. He
hoped that, as the proposal the company now made
was agreed to by all parties substantially interested,
the committee would adopt it.

Mr. MERE\VETHEIt, Q.C., on the part of the city
lenders, stated his approval of the proposal made
by Mr. 'enables.
Mr. RODWELL, Q.C., on behalf of the mortgagees
and creditors, and Mr. Fry, on behalf of the Gene-
ral Credit Companies, likewise intimated their con-
sent to the arrangement.
Mr. BRIDGE, who appeared for the trustees under
the rolling stock deed and for certain mortgagees,
and Mr. Littler, who represented Metropolitan
Extension debenture-holder, dissented from the
company's proposal. Mr. Littler's ground of oppo-
sition was that though his clients had every confi-
dence in the arbitrators, they could not consent to
their having power to raise more capital ever the
beads of the Metropolitan Extension debenture-
holders.

Mr. Hodgkinson and Mr. Forbes were examined
on the part of the company in support of Mr.
Venables's statemen', and the committee then ad-
journed until to-day.
