On the motion of Mr. ORMSLY GORE, a Committee
was appointed to inquire into the necessity for the removal
of Smithfield Market.
Lord MORPETH intimated that neither the members
for the city; nor Government would offer any opposition.
The Earl of LINCOLN brought under the consideration
of the house the petition of Mr. Mara, who had been
Registrar of Friendly Societies in Ireland, and who had

been removed from his office under the alleged authority
of the Friendly Societies Act, passed last session. He

After some further discussion, Mr. HUME consented to
withdraw his motion for the production of the documents
which were deemed objectionable; and

minutes of any dissent of the members of the Court of
Directors, which had been recorded by any member of
that. Conrt, and not hitherto published, relating to the
case of the Ex Rajah of Sattara from the 30th day of
