HC Deb 05 August 1857 vol 147 cc1082-3

Order for Committee read.

House in Committee.

Clause 23 agreed to. Four new Clauses added.

MR. WALPOLE

then moved a verbal Amendment in the preamble.

LORD JOHN MANNERS

said, he would take the opportunity of saying that such was the railway speed at which this Bill had been passed through Committee, that he had had no opportunity of moving an Amendment to a clause which had passed without discussion. He should take the first opportunity of endeavouring to rescind that decision.

Preamble, as amended, agreed to.

House resumed. Bill reported; as amended, to be considered on Friday, and to be printed.
