Upon Lord Dalhousie's moving the third reading of
the land clauses consolidation bill, Lord Brougham
renewed his objections to the constitution of the rail-
way department Of the Board of Trade, which frus-
trated any advantage that might have been expected
from the establishment Of such tribunal, and in
creased and exaggerated all the evils was intended
to prevent.
Lurd Dalhousie gave positive contradiction to
most of the allegations with which Lord Brougham's
speech had abounded.
Lord Ashburten consoIed Lord Dalhousie for
the reflections which had been made on the board
over which he so ably presided, and regretted that
the provisions of this bill did not apply to existing
