The EARL of DALHOUSIElaid on the Table a Report from the Select Committee on Railroads. In doing so, he took the opportunity of recalling to their Lordships' recollection, that on a former occasion it was stated that arrangements had been made by which Irish Railway Bills would commence immediately in that House; and it was in order to prevent certain discrepancies which would otherwise occur that he recommended the adoption by their Lordships of certain regulations in the Report, which would assimilate the practice of the House of Lords for the present Session to that of the other House. Upon one point the Committee could not, by the forms of the House, make a formal report; but he had been authorized to state that they had taken into their consideration the expe- 743 diency of making some such arrangements respecting Bills commencing in that House as those which had been carried into effect last Session—viz., that the Bills should be grouped, and that all lines relating to the same district, or having some definite or connecting link, should be referred to one group. The Committee had proceeded to arrange the Bills into groups, but they could not carry out the arrangement until the Bills came before them. It was important it should be known, that no Bill of a particular group would be considered without reference to others of the same group, and that when the whole were before the Committee, they would report to the House.
