MR. R. YORKErose to move for an Address for copies of certain correspondence between the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, Mr. Barry, and Dr. Reid, which, he was happy to say, would not be opposed by the noble Lord (Lord Morpeth). Having recently travelled in the south of Europe and elsewhere, he might say, that he had nowhere met with so close an approximation to a triumph as the present system of ventilation adopted in that House by Dr. Reid; and hon. Members who, during the present sultry weather, occasionally went into the House of Lords must be of the same opinion as himself thereupon.
§ SIR R. H. INGLISbegged to express the same gratitude to Dr. Reid, in which he should think the whole House must concur.
§ VISCOUNT MORPETH, for one, cordially concurred in the approval bestowed on the 664 ventilation which they had recently experienced. He hoped that the proposal of Dr. Reid with respect to the ventilation of the new House of Commons would be such that it might be adopted.
§ MR. HINDLEYthought that the House had never done sufficient justice to Dr. Reid, who ought to have had a testimonial or a resolution of that House in his favour. He regretted that Mr. Barry and Dr. Reid were at variance; and he would suggest that the noble Lord should endeavour to bring them together at some interview.
§ VISCOUNT MORPETHdid not think that any proposition to bring those distinguished individuals together would be attended with any success.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ House adjourned at half-past Four.
