Lord J. Russellsaid, he had understood from the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, that before the House went into committee on the Corn-Bill, the list of new towns would undergo re-investigation, with a view of seeing whether any had been improperly selected, or any which should be left out. He had received several letters on this part of the subject, stating, that there were places in some particular counties where there was a regular corn trade excluded, and some where very little corn was sold left in the list. He did not mean to say, that there had been any partiality, but he wished to know whether, at any time, there would be a statement of the reasons for deciding on the particular towns which had been selected.
