cularlv the manner in which the R10 franchise
was to be carried into operation. There were,
however, still some obnoxious principles. But
he thought 1t deserved their Lordships' conside-
ration. and they ought to see whether they could
not amend it; because if the bill was allowed to

Lord Wharnclffe stated that he should not
again refuse to give consideration 20 bill brought
up BY so large majority of the House OF Com-
mons. Hear, hear; He would not deceive the
noble Lord opposite, nor the country, and he felt
bound to state that his opinion Of the present bill
was the same as he entertained on the former

arrangement might be entered into to settle this
great question. He would 60 into the committee
with desire to see it modified. The noble Lord
concluded that he would not be party to refuse
this bill his consideration. (Hear, hear.
The Bishop Of London declared, in few words,

more straight forward to declare at once that the
principle Of the bill was Objectionable, and there
fore il was better at once to declare that it should
not receive his support. iHear.)
Earl Grey stated the alterations which had
been made, and said that he felt great satisfaction
at the appearance of the favorable consideration
which some of the noble Lords opposite seemed
inclined to give it. He thought that going into
the committee would give great satisfaction to the
country; for, having gone so far. 1t would be i'm
possible for them to stop short without producing
a measure which would prove efficient. ,(Cheers.)
The Duke of Wellington said the bill went to
effect total alteration in the representation Of
England, and in Scotland complete revolution.
Should, however, the bill go into committee, he
would render his best assistance to make 1t what
