To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Peel had resigned in December, ] 845, over the Corn Law question, but he resumed office in the same month, and Gladstone then returned to office as Colonial Secretary. His appointment vacated his seat for Newark, a Protectionist con- stituency ; and he did not seek re-election, but remained throughout the stirring Session of 1846 a Secretary of State and a Cabinet Minister without a seat in Parliament.^ ^ Labouchere also favoured the Board of Trade : " They could not have a safer guide." ^ Belo...w, p. 143.
^ Gladstone re-entered Parliament in the summer of 1847, as member for Oxford.
WILSON PATTEN'S COMMITTEE 129 Wilson Patten took the chair, and the Committee quickly heard what evidence they required, and issued two short reports, the second of which dealt mainly with the absorption of canals by railway companies.
The Committee were none of them railway representa- tives, nor were the witnesses they called ; the latter represented carriers and canal companies and the Board of Trade.^ They made some interesting remarks in their First Report, but one is chiefly impressed with the futility of the whole business ; while this Committee was urging mature consideration of Railway Bills, while a Select Committee of the House of Lords was con- sidering the " best means of discouraging schemes got up for the mere purpose of speculation," while Mor- rison's Committee, like the others, but in more deter- mined words, was insisting upon the need for a permanent department to supervise railway matters, decisive Bills were being passed without a suggestion of mature consideration, the speculative mania was past its zenith, and the railway system was arranging itself without the supervision of a Department, and in a manner that would leave little scope for re-arrangement if the Department ever were set up.
