LOTTERIES BILL.

DRAINAGE OF ESTATES.
The Duke of RICHMOND moved the second reading
of this Bill, which is to facilitate the drainage of entailed
estates, the expense to be defrayed by way of mortgage.
In many cases, the owners of entailed estates would
not effect the drainage which was required, and those
who were willing to do so were reluctant from the ex-
pense. lie was of opinion that the law of entail was a
good one. One of the principal objects of the Bill was to
give employment to the industrious poor, whose services
would be called into requisition at improved wages. The
Committee, with whom the Bill originated, were unarli-
mously of opinion that it should be passed this session, that
thAbjects which he had stated might be accomplished.

RAILWAYS.
Lord G. SOMERSET moved the order of the day for
the further consideration of the second report of the
Railway Committee.
Mr. GREEN would not oppose the resolution though
he did not think they went sufficiently far, thinking, as
he did, that all parties whose Bills had been read a
second time should be placed in the same position with
respect to their Bills as if the next session.
were in fact a continuation of the present one He
could not see the justice of putting the party to the ex-
pense of going over the same ground again.
Mr. E. B. DENISON said that the result of the
resolutions, if carried, would be to hold out a pre-
mium to parties to delay, and would prevent the
London and York Railway, and other measures
similarly situated, from being carried. He thought
it extremely hard upon those parties that they
should be thrown back by Parliament adopting a new
course. As the promoter of the London and Yolk line,
he would much sooner have been told that they could
not carry the Bill than be open to the enormous expense
they had been at, for it was his opinion that the money
expended had been all thrown away, as they would have
next sessioh to begin de nova unless the House put them
in the same position next session that they were in now.
He should, at a later period of the session, bring forward
a specific motion on the subject.
Lord G. SOMERSET said he thought tha Hon. Mem-
ber had made out a special case of hardship. He could
assure him that the subject should be fully considered.
He might perhaps now as well state that it was his in-
tention on Friday to bring forward a motion with regard
to the standing orders on railway Bills.
