jority in a thin House. The Bill lie had most
caretully considered, and he had had commoniea-

the proposed dis'cretiottary pou'er to the Magis-

just and inetricient.

For the intormation which the Holt. and Leaeoed

given before the-Committee appointed to inquire
into the subject. That Committee !tad decided by
ti.great majority that it sins expedient to continue
