i NEW STOCK MARKET.
• Sir W. CUETIS moved the further consideration
of the report of the Stock-market -Bill.
Mr. DENT, opposed the moti6n. No one, he
said, was acquainted with the nature of its various
ci.auses. By' the closeness of the market the number
Of 'defaulters was diminished. He adVerted to the
ConduCt of -the Secretary,. who went -surreptitiously
With the sever3l books belonging to the Market to
the King's Arms 'Tavern, and- was there closeted
with Members of the House. ,Several petitions
had' been presented against the „ Bill, by the most
respectable Bankers' and Merchants. - • .•
• Sir W.- Cuwris with Much warmth vind;cated.the
conduct of the Committee. He had ,heard that it
was called a rascally Committee; he asked the Hon.
Gentleman if he said so.—(The Speaker called the
Hon. Member to order).-:-He had .nothing to'do
with Agent's or
.Secretaties ; the Bill he was con-
vinced was fraught with.good.
..It was not right
thht the conduct of near. seven millions, of property
should be carried on in a privati'room,without the
persons who owned it knowing any thing of what
was going forward. Nothing should be done in an
underhand way. .
Mr. DENT expitined.
Mr. JAco4 observed, that the nece sity of a new
Stock Exchange was not fully proved in the Com-
mittee. Some time ago- in the Old Market, there

Sir W. MILNE?. `supported: the 'Motion;,, he otnt.-!
ed a few circunistanCci relative to the petitioilc,
quoted the case of Cope aid Dowling, whose pro-
perty,on their failarA had been sunk in the Stock
F4s(cliange, and no cothpensation•given to tlie;r cre-
ditors. The new, market would prevent- similar
evils. •

Sir R. NELA--said, that the Bill. Was deFerving of
the attention of the House; considering the wiionni
of the sums and the number of the Proprietors, it
was astonishing that the Public should not have t-to-
ness to the Market ; . the spitit of corrie.etNon be be-
lieved to be the life of 'business: (There Could be
no danger from the Bill, it was wished for by tho
country, and would prevent a system which is at pre-
senteomplete monopoly.

Mr. GRENF'ELL gave his decided negative to the
Bill.

Mr. P. MooRE said; that if it was on no other
ground than the case cited 'by an Hon. Ba'ronet (Sir
W. ,Milner); ht.t would vote against the ,E 6.1.•
