relief of the sick poor of Ireland." The noble viscount
also moved for certain returns connected with the poor,
laws in Ireland.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY BILL.
Lord REDESDA.LE moved the third reading of this
bill. He thought it right to inform their lordships that
the bill would come into operation on the same day on
which the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company
were to sign the new contract for the acceleration of the
mails between Holyhead and Kingstown.
Lord COLCHESTER said a contract by this com-
pany. for the conveyance of the mails between London
and Dcblin in 11 hour, had been nearly completed.
Some difficulties had arisen which had prevented the ,
Chester and Holyhead Railway from completing their
part of the arrangement, but it was fully expected that
those difficulties would speedily be overcome when the
contract would be completed.
The Duke of SOMERSET said as this bill would
give a monopoly of the whole communication be-
tween London and Dublin to the Chester and
Holyhead Rail way Company, he should move
that the third reading should be postponed
ler a short time. He had been a member of a commit-
tee appointed to inquire into the state of com-
munication between London and Dublin, and
having been convinced of the advantages which
would result from carrying the report of the committee,
he thought it his duty to oppose far the present the
third reading of the bill.
Lord REDESDALE said he would not press the fur-
ther progress of the bill, but he would make inquiries
into the circumstances, and move the second reading
this day week.
After a few words from tha Earl of DONOUGIIMORE,
the petition was ordered to he laid on the table.

ships' reasons for insisting upon the amendments to the

he entertained to those reasons generally.
Earl GRANVILLE rose and was

easy.
