RIRMIKOHAM 'WATER WOZICS' ELIA.?
Sir C. MORDAUNT moved the reedit% of the
Bill for .the establishment of Birmingham Water-
Works a second time.
Mr.CURWEN observed,that aCommittee, chosen
out of the most respectable inhabitants in and about
Birmingham, had considered such a motion as the •
present utterly inexpedient two years ago. He cer-
tainly deemed it proper that the Gentleman who
moved for that Bill, should explain the motives he
had for acting in defiance of the public opinion: Three
thousand pumps were kept continually going and
supplied the • town with abundance of :water : what
.
more than plenty WAS needed ? He would feel dis-
posed to take the sense of the House upon the present
business, and not altogether to trust to the plausible
schemes of chimerical projectors
Sir C. MO RD AUNT said, he would not any more
that' the ingenious Gentleman uphold the extrava-
gance of whimsical projectors; but the opinion of al-
most the whole town could not be chimerical, they felt
a want ; and whenever want was felt, chimeras ceased.
There was a tolerable plentiful supply of spring
water ; but the present complaint was for the lack of
soft water fit for the uses of washing. The Honour.
able Gentleman would consider that as a want surely
.of some' importance. He agreed, that the sense of
.the House ought to be taken in a Committee; and
then the unprejudiced opinion of the House would be
known, and the Bill, he was conscious, then would

The Hon Gentle Min regretted that he should be com.
pelled to resort to the painful necessity of calling the
most serious attention of the House to the situation of
appellants in the highest Coutt of Judicature in the
kingdom, and to the cases of
•suitors in the High
Court of Chancery. He had thought that after the
assurance which he received during the last Session
.from the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) that something should be done to re-
dress the grievances or which suitors complained, that
he should have been spared the trouble of intruding
himself again on the notice of the House. As yet,
however, notwithstanding the promise given, nothing
had been done —at least no active measure had been
I taken. It was true that a motion had been made in
the House of Lords and a Committee appointed to
inquire into these cases.
(Here the Speaker interrupted the Hon. Gentle-
man, by reminding him that he was not strictly in
order in making references to the proceedings in the
other House of Parliament.)
