THE RAILWAY CAB QUESTION.—Last evening a general
meeting of the hackney carriage proprietors was held at
the Cranbourne Hotel, St. Martin's-lane, for the purpose
of adopting such means as may be deem expedient for
the total abolition of railway Privileges, thereby improv-
ing the condition of their horses and carriages, and de.
creasing the transit of traffic throughout the metropolis-
The meeting was adjourned t:11 net Wednesday, July

Colonel FRENCH said as the last division had been
so close, he trusted the hon. gentleman the member for
Ayr would not persevere in forcing the bill on. He,
therefore, moved that the chairman report progress.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL trusted the hon. gen-
tleman would not persevere in pressing his motion
to a division. (Hear.) The principle of the bill
that English judgments should have effect in Ireland,
and Irish judgments in England, was assented to
by nearly all parties, and he thought that the
two principles should be kept intact ; and if it
was sought by the present bill to amalgamate the two,
he should be the last person to support it. The bill did
not contain such a provision, and, therefore, he trusted
the house would proceed with it.
Mr. AY RTON suggested that the bill should be com-
mitted pro forma, in order that the Solicitor-General for
England might adopt certain amendments which would
meet the views of all parties. He hoped the hon. mem-
ber would withdraw his motion for reporting progress if
such a course was assented to.
After a few remarks from Sir E. PEERY and Mr.
M'MAHON,
The committee divided upon the question that the
Chairman report progress.
For the motion 5O
Against it l4l
Majority -91
Mr. BLAND moved an amendment to clause 7, with
the object of clearly defining where full jurisdiction
should lie.
The clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part
of the bill.
On clause 8,

Colonel FriENCII moved that the chairman report
progress.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL condemned the fac-
tious opposition offered to this bill by the Irish mem-
bers. He would suggest that the bill be committed pro
forma upon the understanding that the member for Ayr,
the Attorney-General for Ireland, and the Lord Advo-
cate consult upon the bill, and introduce it in an
amended form.

Sir E. PERRY thought the effect of postponing the
consideration of the bill would be to throw it over until
next session.

Colonel FRENCH withdrew his motion for reporting
progress upon the understanding that the bill pass
through committee pro forma.
A conversation here ensued whether ib was in accord-
ance with the rulee of the house that the bill could pass
through committee pro forma without the whole of the
clauses being agreed to.

Mr. P. BRIEN said if the suggestion for the com-
mittal of the bill was not adopted, he and Lis party would
fight the bill in the usual manner. (Laughter.)
The LORD ADVOCATE said if the rules of the
house permitted, the Government would use their in-
fluence to re-commit the bill.

Eventually the consideration of the clauses was pro-
ceeded with.

On the question that clause 8 stand part of the bill,
Mr. WMAHON said he had great objection to the
clause. He therefore moved that it be struck out.
The SOLICITOR•GENERAL defended the clause,
which he explained was introduced for the prevention of
collusive judgments.
The committee divided, when there appeared—
For the clause 196
Against it
Majority —l5B
The clause was then agreed to.
Clause 9 was next proposed.
Colonel FRENCH moved that the chairman report
progress.
Mr. ADAMS suggested 'that Ireland should be ex-
cluded from the operation of the bill.
After a short conversation, in which Mr. M'Cann,
Mr. Ayrton, and Mr. Grogan took part,
A divi-ion took place ; the numbers were—
For reporting progress 54
Against it
Majority --121
Mr. M`MATION moved an amendment in the clause
to the effect that a complete Scotch judgment, and
not an extract of a decreet should be registered and
acted upon.
Mr. GROGAN declared it as the intention of the
Irish members to throw out the measure. They
intended to use every form which the proceedings of the
house gave to carry out their object.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL suggested that
the better course would be now to report
progress, as there seemed a determination to
obstruct the progress of the bill. During the whole of
the time the measure had been under discussion he had
not heard one valid objection urged against it. (Hear.)
Mr. CRAUFURD said if the hon. gentleman agreed
to withdraw his amendment he would assent, from com-
pulsion, to the chairman reporting progress, but he gave
notice that he should bring forward the measure on
the first open Wednesday.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the house
resumed.
