vent expense and delay in the progress through Parliament in

possible to pus into laws from want of time for their proper in-
vett.gation during the present session :
Ilesolved,—'l hat in order to prevent expense and delay in
the progress through Parliament in the next session of such
railway Bills as it may be found impossible to pass into laws,

prorogation of Parliament.

Bills only as shall have been reported to the House and ordered
