GREAT BRITAIN-In the House OF commons,
on the 18th of March, on the order Of the day
for the second reading of the Parliamentary
representation bill, Lord J. Russell said, that in
stating the course he meant to take with regard
10 this bill, he did not wish to provoke discussion;
he had introduced it as a minister of the crown,
but as he no longer held office, he did not think
that as private member he could carry it
through AT the same time he did not, by with
drawing it, mean to preclude himself from NOV
ing any resolution upon the subject, The noble
lord concluded by moving that the bill be read
a second time this day three months. Mr. Hume
expressed considerable disappointment at the
noble lords proceeding with regard to this meas
ure he thought he ought to have gone on with
it. Mr.. Williams was glad the bill was with
drawn, because 1t was decidedly an unsatsfac-
tory measure; at the same time, he was happy
to hear that the noble lord had not abandoned
the cause Of reform. Mr. Duncombe said the
5 without single expression of regret; but he
wanted to know whether the question of para-
mentary reform was to stop where it was? what
= chance there was now that the opponents of re-
form were in office Were the people to wait
, until the noble lord again entered Office? The
motion was thea agreed to.
