1117 Ga A T lON TO TRINIDAD.

Mr. THORNELY moved for a copy of the correspondence
between Dr. Rolph and the Colonial Secretary, and hetweett
the Colonial Secretary and the Governor of Trinidad, relative
to the appointment and remuneration of Dr. Rolpb, in 184.1,
as the agent of the Government of Trinidad, for the removal
of the coloured population of Canada to that colony.
Mr. G. W. HOPE said that Dr. Rolph was engaged by
the Governor of Trinidad to conduct the emigration, but no
benefit was derived from his undertaking; and no emigrants
were bound by it. The salary he was to receive was 2004 a-
year, and the only question was, whether, as Dr. Rolph had
returned from Canada earlier than was anticipated, he was;
entitled to 100/. or 2001. ?
Mr. HUME asked what was the date of Dr. Rolph's appoint-
ment?
Mr. G. W. HOPE said it was from the beginning of 1843,
but Dr. Rolph, subsequent to that time, became connected
with the North American Land Association, which became
bankrupt, and Dr. Rolph did net return to Canada till his time
had expired. The whole question was, whether he was to get
100/. to which he was not entitled.
Mr. HUME—He has got too much.—(Laughter.)
The return was then agreed to.
The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in a
Bill for the appointment and payment of constables and °Seers
for keeping the peace near public works in Scotland.
On the motion of Mr. CARDWELL, the following Mem..
bers were appointed a Select Committee, to assist the Speaker
in all matters which relate to the printing executed by order of
this House, and for the purpose of selecting and arranging for
printing returns and papers presented in pursuance of motions
made by Members of this House, which may be referred to
the said Committee :—Sir George Clerk, Sir Robert Harry
Inglis, Mr. Pusey, Mr. Vernon Smith, Mr. Strutt, Viscount
Mahon, Mr. Tufnell, Mr. Patrick Stewart, and Mr. Hume.
Three to be the quorum.
Mr. GREENE brought up the report from the Committee
of Supply, which was ordered to lie upon the table.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
Mr. HUME wished to put a question to the Right Hon.
Baronet. He wished to know at what hour on tomorrow the
financial statement would be made?
Sir J. GRAHAM said the public business would commence
at half-past four, at which hour the Right Hon. Baronet at the
head of her Majesty's Government maid lay his statement
before the House.
RAILWAY CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL.'
Mr. AGLIONBY hoped that the Railway Clauses Conso-
lidation Bill would not be brought before the House that night.
There were several clauses in the Bill to which he intended to
object, and he believed that many of his Hon. Friends on that
(the Opposition) aide of the House entertained a similar opi-
nion of its merits. He thought that a Bill of this importance
ought to be referred to a Select Committee up stairs.
Lord G. SOMERSET was most anxious that the business
of the House should be proceeded with as quickly as possible ;
but, on the other hand, he did not wish to take any Hon.
Member by surprise. The clauses in the Bill, he begged to
state, were not new clauses, for they had all been taken from
existing Acts, although modified in a very considerable degree ;
and he thought, therefore, that but little opposition would be
given to the measure. Under, these circumstance, he could
not think of postponing the consideration of the subject.
After some further remarks from Mr. AGLIONRY, as to
the propriety of delaying its consideration,
The House then resolved itself into Committee.

On clause 1 being put,
Mr. HAWES inquired if these clauses were to be coin-
pulsory on all companies, and whether they would apply neces-
sarily to all future railways?
Lord G. SOMERSET said they were not to be compul-
sory on all companies. They would not necessarily apply to all
future railway companies applying for Bills.
Mr. HAWES thought the Bill would be useles's unless it
could be made compulsory.
Mr. WAKLEY was of the same opinion as the Hon. Mem-
ber for Cockermouth (Mr. Aglionby), that this Bill ought to
be referred to a Select Committee up stairs. This Bill was
intended to be a model Bill, and it ought to be made perfect,
and then compulsory on all companies.
Mr. HAWES did not think they could proceed satisfactorily
upon this Bill now.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said that to refer the
Bill to a Committee would be to defeat it. It would have to
be given up for the present session, and it was very desirable
seeing that there were so many schemes on foot, that some
general principle should be adopted with respect to them. He
doubted whether these Committees would be attended by legal
gentlemen.
Mr. JARVIS thought a Select Committee would be .a most
unfit tribunal. He thought some clauses might be devised ap-
plicable to the state of things, and to the protection of the pub-
tic. He would wish to see the responsibility of preparing these
clauses thrown upon the law officers of the Crown.
Mr. WAKLEY said the clause which had occupied their
attention was very loosely and very clumsily drawn op, and be
entirely agreed in the observations of the Hon, and Learned
Member for Chester.
Lord G. SOMERSET said that after the opposition which
had been exhibited by Hon. Members opposite, he despaired
of pushing on this Bill with any degree of success. He would
now move tkat the Chairman report progress, and on Monday
next he would declare the course he intended to pursue re-
garding the measure.
After a few words from Mr. HAWES and Mr.
AGLIONBY the House resumed.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and th
House adjourned at Half-past Eleven o'Clock.
