HOUSE OF COMMONS.

An Election Committee to try -the return for
the Borough of Truro eras ballotted for this day,
in consequence of which strangers were not ad-
mitted till half past four.

NEwINGTON SELECT VESTRY BILL.
Mr,ll. SUMNER moved the second reading of
the.abovi: Bill.

Mr. DENISON opposed
.the motion. The Pa-
rish of Newington, he observed, contained
30,000 inhabitants, a great number of whom were
not apprised of the projected measure in time to
petition against it. lie believed that not more
than 100 persuns'in the parish called for the pre-
sent. Bill. There had been- no meeting of the
Guardians and Governors of the Poor relative to
this measure. The whole business had been got
up in a hurry, and the Bill was now moved to be
read a second time, unknown to the parish. Un-
doubtedly the parishionerk had a right to know
what was going forward, in order that theymight
petition the House, if they deemed such a step
necessary. in conclusion the. Tion. Gentleman
moved, " that the Bill be read a second time
this day fortnight."
Sir R. WILsoN seconded the "amendment. To
Move the iecond reading at the''` ftesent moment
was to take the parish by surprise. lie had al-
ways. understood that the 'Bill was hot to.:be
urged forwards during the present month, hi con-
sequence of the irregularity in giving the notices.
—Mr. H. SUMNER maintained -that the Hon.
GentleMah who had last spoken,: was quite mis-
informed on the subject.. The parish had had,
every notice which could be desired on the sub-
ject.; There was therefore no surprise. At the
same time he allowed that:, in consequenCe of the
indisposition of the Solicitor for the Bill, there had
been a little irregularity in the mode of giving the
notices; for that instead c'f the three notices hav-
ing been given hi September, only two had been
given in Sept., and the third in Oct. Not think-
ing; however, that that was asufficient•ground for•
suspending the progress of the• Bill, he must resist-
the amendment.- •

Sir R. WlLsos 'repeated, that • he had under-
stood from the Hon. Gentleman, that the „Bill
was trot to' proceed until the notices had been rc-
gtilarly served.
Mr. 11. SUMNER denied that he had ever said
any thing which could lead to such an under,
standing.
Mr. DENISON maintained that it was generally
understood, that owing to the irregularity i►i giv-
ing the notice, the Bill was not to be brought
again this Session..

Mr. C. CALvunT. said the. request of his lion..
