§ Viscount Palmerstonwished to know whether the Government intended to bring forward during the present Session any measure founded on the Report which had been made by the Committee on Gaming?
§ Sir J. Grahamsaid, that he had seen the very able Report of the Committee referred to, of which the noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) was Chairman, but, though he concurred in many of its suggestions, he was not prepared to bring in any measure on the subject in the present Session.
§ Viscount Palmerstonwas not surprised at that determination of the Government, considering the state of other business and the period of the Session; but he hoped the Government would not object to bring in a Bill to continue for another year the Act for suspending certain legal proceedings, which had been passed with reference to this subject.
§ Sir J. Grahamsaid, that no suggestion had been made in the Report of the Committee of such a measure as the noble Lord now alluded to; and he must say that he was not prepared to undertake the conduct through the House of such a Suspension Bill in the present Session.
