HC Deb 04 May 1842 vol 63 cc109-11
Captain Rous

moved the re-committal of the Public Houses Bill pro formâ, and said that the sense of the House could be taken upon it on its third reading.

Captain Pechell

said, that this bill was before the House for the last six weeks, and various provisions had been introduced into it which were contrary to the title of the bill. He wished to know what the hon. and gallant Captain proposed to do by this motion of a re-committal pro formâ? He did not like these pro formâ motions. He wished to know whether the hon. and gallant Captain intended to persist in bringing forward that clause which related to steam-vessels upon the river Thames? He hoped that that clause would be struck out, but if it should be | otherwise, he would give it every opposition.

Captain Rous

said, with respect to the question, of the hon. and gallant Member he could only say sufficient for the day was the evil thereof. On the third reading, the matter could be fully discussed.

Bill went through committee pro formâ, and was ordered to be printed.
