§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES), in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, said, that it had not been printed; therefore, if there was any objection taken to the second reading he should postpone the stage. He did not, however, think there was likely to be any opposition, as the measure was the same as that passed in the last two Sessions of Parliament. Its object was to prevent Writs issuing in regard to suspended boroughs during the Recess. He trusted the House would allow him to take the second reading.
Motion made, and Question, "That the Bill be now read a second time,"—(Mr. Attorney General,) — put, and agreed to.
Bill read a second time, and committed for Thursday.
