§ Mr. Huttsaid, he had, on an early day of the Session, given notice of his intention to move for leave to bring in a bill to prevent flour, or flour and biscuit, to be substituted for foreign wheat secured in bonding warehouses. He had, already, in consequence of the pres sure of important business, postponed the introduction of his measure; but, as the point was one of some importance, and as the subject generally was occupying a great share of public attention, he should wish to have the consent of the right hon. Baronet at the head of the Government to a proposition regarding the measure which he was about to submit. The bill now stood for Tuesday next. He pro posed, that he should be allowed to lay it upon the Table on that day without opposition; that it should then be printed and circulated; and, that the discussion on the principle of the measure should be taken on the second reading, which he should move after the Easter recess. If this course were agreed to, the House and country would have time deliberately to consider the proposition.
§ Sir R. Peelsaid, that without in the slightest degree pledging himself to the principle of the bill, or promising to as sent to any of its provisions, he could only say, that as far as he was concerned, he should offer no objection to the course the hon. Gentleman proposed to pursue, if he thought that course necessary.
