HC Deb 28 March 1855 vol 137 cc1281-2

Order for Second Reading read.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, this Bill had not yet been printed; but it simply empowered the Go- vernment to raise the funds necessary for giving effect to the Convention with Sardinia. The clauses were not likely to give rise to any discussion; but if any hon. Member wished to address the House upon the subject, he would have an opportunity of doing so on going into Committee. Under these circumstances he hoped the House would agree to the second reading now.

Bill read 2o.

The House adjourned at ten minutes before Six o'clock.
