AC'. r AMENDMENT BILL.

Upon the motio n for the further consideration of this bill
in committee,
Mr. BRADY a ontended that the operation of the mea-
sure was unjust t 3 some parishes, and that it gave powers
to the Board of W orks of a most arbitrary character, which
they ought neve] • to possess, and which might be exerted
most prejudically to the parishes. Under these circum-
stances he felt it his duty to resist by every means' in his
power the progres sof this bill. He moved that it be con-
sidered a second t •ime this day six months.
Colonel FRE NCH seconded the amendment. He
thought it unnecessary they should waste their time in
considering a bill which they could not hope would pass
the other house. I his session.

Mi. lIENL E Y supported the amendment, adopting the
view of the last.; I speaker. The hon. gentleman then went
through the ai ai mdments on the paper, and asked the house
would it be use if al to consume time in discussing them there
when they cot 1.1( 1 not be considered in another place.
Sir G. C. LEI VIS pointed out that this was substantially
a private bill, a nd had been fourteen days before a com-
mittee of the ho )use, and the promoters and opponents had
been at:great e xpense in supporting and opposing it, all
which expenst N time, and trouble would be thrown away if
they refused t( ;I consider it. He thought, if there was no
serious objectim ito the principle of the bill, they might pass
it this session..
Mr. TITE a ated he brought the bill in last session, and
it had been fu ll y and fairly before all the vestries, and their
suggestion ar A objection had been fully considered. The
bill had been. 14 days before a committee, who had heard
about 30 cow io .el in reference to it, and the bill was neces-
sary to facilil is to the operation of the metropolitan board.
Mr. LIDD ;LL suggested that the supporters of the bill
should aster to in whether the other house would consider
the bill if it lis .ssed this house.
Mr. LOCI Cl E supported the bill in its entirety.
Mr. E. JA .1 lES thought they ought to go into committee
and see if it \vi is practicable to get through the bill, and do
so if possible,.: Ind thus show that the house was prepared
to perform its duty.

the bill had ho id, and its great urgency, he thought the
