T HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY, APRIL 22. In the absence of the Lord Chancellor, Loid Redesdale took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of Darby, in a brief address, moved the second read- ing of the St. Alban's Disfranchisement Bill, which, after a short discussion, was agreed to. Lord Redesdale then proposed that the parties should have leave to appear at the bar by counsel, according to the precedent in the Sudbury case, a petition to that effect having been previ. ously presented. This proposition was supported by Lord Campbell, on the ground that the bill was one of pains and penalties. He had no wish, however, that their lordships should hear evidence at the bar, but only that counsel should be heard upon the effect of the evidence taken before the commission. A conversation followed, in which the Earl of Derby, Earl Grey, Lord Monteagle, Lord Beaumont, the Marquess of Clanricarde, the Duke of Argyle, and the Duke of Newcastle, toolfpart, and upon a division, Lord Redesdale's motion, having been consented to by the Premier, was carried by a majority of 26, the numbers being-content, 41 non-content, 15.
