IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills,
which were severally read a first time, on the motion of the
Earl of DALHOUSIE.

DUBLIN AND GALWAY RAILWAY.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition,
signed by the High Sheriff and the Grand Jury of the
county of Galway in favour of this Bill, and stating that if the
undertaking was nst carried out, that great injury would be
inflicted on that part of the county.
The Earl of BESBOROUGH moved that the adjourned
debate on this Bill be resumed. The Noble Earl then pro-
ceeded to draw the attentien of their Lordships to the report of
the Committee appointed to inquire into the allegations brought
against the Directors of the Company. It appeared from
their report, that the Directors had not been in the habit
of inquiring into the condition of those who applied to
them for shares ; that out of 971 applications, 863 were
granted without any inquiry, and that 29 only were
impede the progress
he
of the Bill, and in moving for the inquiry
which had been instituted,
nquired into. As he had said, he had no wish to
had no other object in view than
that the allegations contained in the petition of Mr. Pimm
might be inquired into by a
Committee of their Lord-
ships' House. The report which they made to the
House stated that the allegations that fraud had
i e c
s , s
toltshow
i Difr.p y m m ,
been used to obtain the necessary uumber of signatures to
the subscription contract had been proved before them.
None of their Lordships who had read the ,report could hold
any other opinion than that gross and systematic frauds had
been committed to a very great extent. In page 9 they would
find that the Company had resorted to the too prevalent prac-
tice of putting the names of respectable and well-known indivi-
duals in their prospectus for the purpose of making a show.
If parties allowed their names to be put in the pros-
Pulie
taken
see that its affairs were carried out in a proper manner.
The Noble Lord then proceeded to quote extracts from the
evidence
abefor company, they ought, at least, to
e the Select Committee on the peti-
t
that the allegations contained in the
petition
n t
of
relative to the allotment of shares,
and concluded by declaring his intention to persist in his mo-
tion that the further consideration of the Bill be postponed for
three months.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE admitted that the Noble
Earl had made a very
skilful speech, but really if their Lord-
ships looked carefully ints it, they would find that it bore very little
upon the &legations of the petititioners; that the Directors had
sancctioned the forgery of names to their contract deed. He
could see no reason why their Lordships should attempt to fix
upon ;his particular the stamp of a character which was equally
applicable to several other Bills that had passed, and several
that were now before the House, because they had
framed regulations which afforded facilities for persons
committing frauds against the directors, against the company,
and if they could, against the public. Neither the !Noble Lord
nor the evidence said a word which could possibly show that
any man had been induced against his will to sign the contract
deed, or that went to show that any measure, whether directly
or indirectly, had been taken by the directors for that purpose.
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock precisely,
when the orders of the day were proceeded with.
The following Bills were read a third time and passed :
The Court of Chancery 13i11, the Stock in Trade Bill, the
Removal of Paupers Bill.
The Apprehension of Offenders Bill went through Com-
mittee, and was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow at
twelve.

The report of the Municipal Districtsa (Ireland) Bill was
received, and went throughand the Bill was or-
dered to be read a third time to-morrow at twelve,
GAMES AND WAGERS BILL.
The report of this Bill was brought up.
After Mr. Q. DICK had proposed the insertion of two
clauses, both of which were negatived without a division, the
Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow at twelve.
SMALL DEBTS BILL.
Sir J. GRA HAM moved the third reading of this Bill, when
Mr. H. BERKELEY objected to the seventh clause, on
the ground that the Secretary of State would be put in pos-
session of an unconstitutional power, by being en-
abled to increase or diniinish indefinitely the number
of courts. He thought, however, there was a great deal of good
in the Bill, and should be glad to see it pass, provided that the
objection he had stated to the power which would be possessed
by the Secretary of State were removed.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that he had, in the clause re-
ferred to by the Hon. Gentleman, struck out the name of the
Secretary of State and substituted the name of her Majesty.
He trusted with that the Hon. Alember would be satisfied.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER, the Customs' Laws Repeal Bill was read a third time
and passed, as was the Customs Management Bill and the
Customs' Duties Bill.
WAREHOUSING OF GOODS BILL.
This Bill was read a third time and passed.
BRITISH VESSELS BILL.
On the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill,
Captain PECHELL hoped that some improvement in the
transmission of letters to the Scilly Island would be effected.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
The Shipping and Navigation Bill, the Trade of British
Possessions Abroad Bill, the Customs Bounties and Allowances
Bill, the Isle of Man Trade Bill, the Smuggling Prevention
Bill, were read a third time and passed, without discussion.
CUSTOMS REGULATION BILL.
On the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill,
Mr. WAWN trusted that vessels returning to a British port
in ballast, after landing a cargo at another British port, would
he exempted from the pilotage dues exacted from foreign ves-
sels. The Hon. Member moved the insertion of certain words
to give effect to this distinction.
Captain PECHELL seconded do amendment,
