§ Mr. F. Maulemoved, that the House do resolve itself into a Committee on the Parliamentary Burghs (Scotland) Bill.
§ Sir W. Raemoved, that the bill be postponed till that day three months.
§ Mr. F. Maulesaid, it was most important this bill should pass, to enable the Parliamentary burghs to make provision for their self-government. He knew, that Scotland fully appreciated the justice of this bill, and no objection to it had proceeded from that country.
Captain Gordonsaid, it was a mistake to suppose there was no objection to the bill, because he had received a petition from Leith, which he had not as yet an opportunity of presenting, strongly deprecating the bill.
§ The House divided on the original motion: Ayes 56; Noes 36: Majority 20.
