ment has, in consequence of the Report and Evidence re-
ferred to, addressed a letter to Mr. Wray, expressing his
strong disapprobation of Mr. Wray's conduct.
" That it appears to this House, upon a reference to the

mittee, to which the Bill of this Company was referred; a

bility under the Crown :"—Whereupon Previous Question
put, " That that Question be now put." The House then
