§ MR. WALPOLE, in moving that this Bill be read a second time, said that it was a measure which had come down from the House of Lords, where it had received the fullest sanction of the law Lords, and it was of extreme importance that it should be speedily passed. The details of the Bill were of so technical a character that the House would hardly wish to got into 591 them on the second reading; he therefore proposed that the Bill should now be read a second time without discussion, and that the various clauses should be fully considered in Committee on that day week. The hon. Member for Exeter (Mr. Divett) had mentioned that he had some objections to the measure, but he (Mr. Walpole) was satisfied that if the Bill were read a second time, he could remove the objections of the hon. Member, or show that they were groundless.
§ MR. DIVETTsaid that he was quite prepared to take the discussion of the points on which he objected in Committee.
Bill read 2° and committed for Monday next.
