LANCASTER, AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a
r,Petition from the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway
sairopaoy,_praying their Lordships to facilitate the
progress of this Railway Bill through Parliament.
Lord BROUGHAM did not wish to interpose any
nanecessary delay in the progress of this Bill. Ile
must say, however, that it was rather a novel pro-
Iceeding on the part of railway jobbers to present
I Petition to their Lordships, praying their Lordships
interfere between the two houses of Parliament,
when
a conference bad taken place between
the on the subject of some particular Bill. He
would just state generally the facts of the case to their
ordships. He had consented to abandon his
opposition to the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway
Bill upon certain conditions. Had it not been for
these conditions, he would have opposed the Bill in
tevery stage, and he would have doted himself to
ug opposition, and he would have done nothing else

Noble
CAMPBELL said that the opposition of his

t,PsPo_siticin to it, as he understood, was grounded on

eol nut upon bringing up the report, and that with-
oVotiee so that it was passed sub silentio. It was
tile that ground, as explained to their Lordships in
the clause._.
that the House of Commons threw out
