§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONsaid, when the Order for the second reading of the Bill was read, it was his intention to move, for the purpose of withdrawing the Bill, that it be discharged. At the same time, he intended to ask leave to bring in another Bill, which would be confined to the county constabulary. The objections which had been urged against the present Bill, on the part of certain boroughs, were objections which he thought were not well-founded, and it was his opinion that the boroughs would be found to be practically the resort of offenders from the counties, and that they would very greatly feel the inconvenience of such a state of things. He had already received representations from several boroughs on the part of the inhabitants, stating that they entirely disagreed with the objections which had been made to the Bill by the municipal councils. That was a matter, however, which the inhabitants and the councils would probably find the means of settling among themselves. If the inhabitants found that their authorities did not avail themselves of provisions afforded by the law, and of which they themselves approved, they had their remedy in electing other councillors. If the inconvenience were to be such as he thought it would be, he had no doubt the inhabitants would adopt that course.
