REFORM BILL.

Mr. E. JAMES asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether, in the event of the Reform Billbeing read
a second time during the ~present session, it was the inten-
tion of her Majesty's Government at once to proceed
with the bill, or to agree to any motion to refer
such bill to a select committee. He gave the noble
lord (Lord J. Russell) credit for sincerity in regard
to the bill, but he considered that the Government was
guilty of apathy in reference to a measure of so much im-
portance.
Lord I. RUSSELL said that the debate on the second
reading of the bill was postponed unavoidably before the
holidays, but it would be resumed on Monday next, and
he denied, therefore, that the Government were guilty of
apathy in respect to the bill. The whole question of the
franchise could be adequately discussed by the whole holm
in committee.
