THE EARL OF MILLTOWN, in moving that the Bill be re-committed to the same Committee, said, that some four or five days ago he presented a Petition against the third reading of the Bill upon representations of so strong a nature against the Company that it seemed to him every one of them ought to be investigated. Some allegations had certainly been borne out; and, although all the statements were made ex parte, they were made with the positive assurance that every one could be substantiated.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be re-committed to the same Committee."—(The Earl of Milltown.)
§ THE EARL OF REDESDALE (CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES)said, that ample inquiry had been made into the truth of the allegations, and the only person who could have raised any objection in the matter was the contractor, who had since become a bankrupt. He did not think it was proper at this period of the Session that the Bill should be re-committed.
§ Motion (by leave of the House) withdrawn.
