§ Order for Consideration, as amended, read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill, as amended, be taken into Consideration upon Thursday."— (Viscount Folkestone.)
§ SIR GABRIEL GOLDNEYsaid, he must oppose the Motion, on the ground that it was unnecessary to interpose further delay with the sole object of enabling certain hon. Members to oppose 1740 this small Bill, and perhaps, in the end, succeed in destroying the Company promoting it, when the object of the opposition was simply to put pressure upon the larger lines of railway. He thought it was a most unnatural mode of attack upon a railway simply projected as a local line, in order to enable a railway to be constructed between Windsor, Ascot, and Aldershot. He begged to move, as an Amendment, that the Bill he taken into consideration to-morrow.
§ Amendment proposed, to leave out the words "upon Thursday," in order to insert the word "To-morrow,"—(Sir Gabriel Goldney,)—instead thereof.
§ Question put, "That the words 'upon Thursday,' stand part of the Question."
§ The House divided:—Ayes 37; Noes 73: Majority 36.—(Div. List, No. 116.)
§ Main Question, as amended, put, and agreed to.
§ Bill, as amended, to be considered To-morrow.
