On Tuesday Lord Brougham brought under consideration the accounts recently received from America with respect to outrages alleged to have been committed by British cruisers upon American merchantmen trading in the waters of Cuba . The Earl of Malmesbury said that as yet they had nothing but ex parte statements .

On Thursday Earl Fortescue moved the second reading of the bill for abolishing the property qualification of members of parliament . The bill
was opposed by Earl Grey , but being supported by Lord Derby was read . On Friday the bill passed through committee after an ineffectual attempt of Earl Grey to introduce a clause subjecting the members of both houses to arrest for debt . In the House of Commons on Monday , the House went into committee on the Government of India , and the discussion of the third resolution was resumed .
