Mr. WAITHMAN rose to reply. He had no wish
to prolong the discussion unnecessarily, and he there-
fore thought it right to state at once, that he had no
material objection to the amendment being adopted.
—He confessed that it appeared to him it would be
better to have every individual case referred to a Corn
mittee for investigation. With respect to the remarks
which he bad made on Joint Stock Companies, he cer.l
tainly never did mean to include all the great public
Companies which had been instituted for many years.
He believed that they had been most beneficial to the
country. He spoke only of those Companies which had
been formed during the mania, and which were for the
most part mere delusions. The Member for Midhurst
had made some observations, which he (A IdermanWaith-
man) thought only proved the necessity of the motion he
had made—( Hear). With respect to the Equitable Loan
Company, he had not spoken unadvisedly. He had
studied the documents and the evidence he had then by
him, and he should be able to prove the assertions he had
made whenever he had an opportunity. With respect
to the information afforded by the Hoe. Member for Cal-
lington, who had had so much experience in Joint Stock
Companies, it seemed but necessary for him to remark that that
Hon. Gentleman had looked abroad for Companies to defend, but
had wholly neglected to notice the fact that he was himself auditor
to we of those speculations in which material alterations had been
made without the knowledge of the Shareholders. For instance, at
first it was necessaty for a Director to hold SOO shares, when sud-
denly the qualification was reduced to twenty. They took 400
shares, but none of them had paid up on more than 300. The facts
which he had stated remained entirely uncontradicted. The Hon.
Alderman then recapitulated them, and after relating the conduct
of the Directors of the Equitable Loan Company, concluded by
saying, that he should not offer any opposition to the amendment.
The question being put front the Chair, the Amendment was
adopted unaniniously ; and a Select Committee appointed, consist-
ing of the following Members:
Mr. Aldtrinan Waithman, Mr. Horace Twiu, Mr. G. Lamb,
Lord Altborp, Mr. Ilobhouse, Mr. Ward, Mr. Lockhart, Sir T.
Ackland, Mr. N. Calven, Mr. W. W.olridge, Mr. S. Wortley, Mr.
Dickenson, Sir James Graham, Mr. Fazakerley, Mr. Warburton,
Mr. R. Grant, Mr. I'allmer, Colonel French, Sir R. Vivian, Ma-
jor Moberly, and Mr. C. Ross.
Mr. HEItRIES gave notice that on Friday next, he shonid '
move to Repeal the Duties on the Conveyance of Letters in Ireland.
