§ MR. NEWDEGATEsaid, he wished to know, On what day this Bill will be proceeded with, and whether the right hon. Gentleman the Secretary for the Homo Department will have any objection to such an alteration in the Clause which provided that the Mayor of a Borough should be the Chairman of the Bench of Magistrates as would confine the operation of the Clause to the case in which a Mayor had had some previous experience as a Magistrate?
SIR GEORGE LEWISsaid, that the Bill would be committed pro formâ that evening. It would afterwards be printed with Amendments, and in a subsequent stage it would be competent to the hon. 1069 Gentleman to propose such an Amendment as that which he had just suggested.
