COMMITTEE ON PRIVATE .BILLS.

; Mr LITTIZTON begged leave to submit some sosolutiona
to the consideration of the House upon the subject of constituting
Committees. He hadintentlecl to have done this last Session,
but he did not regret. the time that had intervened between
that period and the present, as it had given hint an opportunity
of revising them. The present plan of appointing Committees
was ordered by the Speaker 25 years ago. Before that period
a Bill (whether relating to the improvement of roads, making
canels, or any thing else) was submitted to a Committee of
Members serving for t!.lat part of the county, and adjoining parts
which the Bill adrected. There was nothing more desirable to
be attained upon this subject than the prevention of any undue
bias either fin' or against the subject of the Committee. Ile had
suggested last year, that any Member who presented a Bill, and
was fearful of any Member who might have a prejudice against
it, might petition the !louse and Valise the name of that Member
to be struck out of the list of the Committee. The I I on, Mem-
ber for Yorkshire had suggested at the same period that any
Member who felt dissatisfied at the proceedings of Cie Corn.
mittee could petition the house for a re-committal of the Bill.
He (Mr. L.) should propose that the Members of each Committee
should be chosen by ballot in the . same way as at all Elec.
dons. He would also propose that the Committee should be
authorised to award costs against the frivolous appellants,—
By the word frivolous he meant those Members who from mo-
tires of private interest or preju against the Mover of the
Bill prevented its progress throl the House. lie did not
sl/4111
deprecate discussion, but he watt 1 at present move (merely
pro luring* the reading of the first resolution, and to adjourn the
discussion upon it till Wednesday next.—The resolution was
then read and ordered for a second reading on Wednesday next.
Lord A. II AM ILTON thought that if the first Resolution
was a type of those which would follow, they were calculated
to be of very little service in altering the present plan of Corn-,
mittees. It appeared to hint that the Resolution was calculated
rather to try the merits of a former Committee, than the subject
on which the Committee had been appointed. The Noble
Lord expressed his thanks to the Hon. Gentleman for having
brought the measure forward.
Lord A 14THORP said, this would not be 4 Committee to
try the merits of a former Committee.
Mr. S. WORTLEY was not disposed to censure tile conduct
of the Committees of that House, but it was desirable that the

lif:mbera should do the business of Committees properly, and
with a knowledge that a check was banging over them. :
The Debate was then adjourned to Wednesday.
COMMUTATION or PUNISHMENT roil FORGERS
Mr. It. MARTIN expressed a wish that the subject of which
he had given notice, might he taken up by other and more able
hands ; and with that view the Hon. Gentleman postponed bir
motion.
Mr. GOULBURN moved for lea Xng i Bill to,

BUTTER TRADE.
Mr. C.•ORA NT moved that a Committee' be ,appointed to
inquire into the regulations of the Butter Trade in Ireland.
AIL II UTCII I NSON objected to going intosu crspaste exa-
mination in the absence of the Butter Interest in Ireland.
Sir 11. PARNELL was not desirous of hearing any cs-pirls
evidence.

Mr. C. GRANT said a few words in reply.
The motion was then agreed to, and the Committee no•
Minuted.
The Second It eatlini of the Bribery at Elections' Bill was
postponed, on the motion of Lord J. IR' ssE r.r. to Monday nex'.
BANK CHARTER BILL.
Mr. LUSHINGTON proposed that the Bank Charter Bill
should be read a second time for the purport of tilling uP the.
blanks.
Air. J. S3lllll objected to any alteration of the Bill in the
then state of the House.

Mr. HUME also opposed the Bill.
Mr. H. GURNEY wished the principle of the Bill to be car.
vied into effect, but he thought it impo,sible the Bill, with
clauses it then contained, could answer the intended purpose.
The llill was then read a second time and ,committed for
Tuesday next.
The Report of supply was received, Led 'dm liesolutiop
read and agreed to.
The Bank Deposits Bill was read a second time.
M r. HUME asked why the Bill should not come into opeis:.
tion immediately ? As it stood, it was not to come into oper4.,
tion before October.
Mr. LUSH INGTON said, the Hon. Member might movie
an amendment in the Committee.
The Bill was then committed for tomorrow.—The Hullsr
then adjourned at a Quarter to TWELvE o'CLoc
