§ On Order of the Bay for the Second Reading of the Trustees Charities Bill:—
§ MR. DISRAELIsaid, he wished to make an inquiry of the lion. Member for Swansea (Mr. Dillwyn), whether he would postpone the second reading of his Bill to a future day. The Bill had only been placed in the hands of Members yesterday, and, as the sitting of the House commenced at a late hour, the discussion would not be likely to terminate before the adjournment; the hon. Gentleman would, therefore, not be in a worse position by assenting to the proposition and consulting the convenience of Members.
§ MR. DILLWYNsaid, he was extremely averse to taking the House by surprise; but he should have thought that a Bill of a few lines, the same as one brought in last year, and similar to one introduced by Lord Stanley of Alderley two years ago, could have been well discussed to-day. He trusted the right hon. Gentleman would not think him too hasty if he proposed the second reading to-morrow night.
§ Second Reading deferred till To-morrow.
§ House adjourned at Half after Two o'clock.
