THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

(Althorp) would, since he objected to the present motion, say
whether he should support any other mode of inquiry - for
he was sure that to refuse all inquiry in the present state Of the
country would have a most mischievous effect.
Mr. Tooku said that, intending to vote.for the committee as
for an abstract question, he wished to guard his vote by stating
that he differed altogether from the avowed collateral and
ulterior views of the hon. mover. He knew, however, that
distress existed : he believed that the people of England ex-
pected an inquiry into the cause of.it; he was sure they were
entitled to it; and he had that entire confidence in their good
sense, that he believed they would be. satisfied with a well-
conducted inquiry and a maturely considered report.
The house then divided, when there appeared :
