PAYMENT OF WAGES—AbJOURNED DEBATE.

The Order of the Day for the resuming the adjourned
debate on the nomination of the Committee to consider
the payment of wages having been read,
On the name of Mr. G. W. Wood being proposed,
Mr. G. W. WOOD requested to be excused from
serving on the Committee.
Mr.FERRAND had nominated the Hon. Gentleman
at the request of several of the working classes, who had
reposed the greatest trust in the Hon. Member.
The Hon. Member was excused.

On the name of Sir J. J. Guest being put,
Mr. Alderman COPELAND vindicated the Rhymney
Iron Company from the attacks which had been made
on it, and expressed a hope that that would be the first
Company subjected to inquiry before the Com-
mittee. The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to
attack the Dowlais Company as being mixed up
with the truck system, but at the same time
he must say that there might be circumstances
under which it would be of the greatest advantage to
establish a truck shop. He had lately in Staffordshire
been asked by his own workmen to open a shop.

Sir J. J. GUEST would challenge every inquiry into
the conduct of the Dowlais Company. He had never
paid his workmen in anything except sterling coin.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND explained.

After a few words from Mr. V. STEWART and Dr.
BOWRING, Sir John Guest was added to the Committee.
On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, Mr. Cobden
was added to the Committee.

Sir JOHN GUEST declined acting.
The other Orders of the Pay were then disposed of
and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve.
