HL Deb 13 March 1845 vol 78 cc775-6
The Earl of Dalhousie

moved the second reading of these Bills.

Lord Monteagle

called the attention of the House to the extent of private business before them. If there had been a difficulty in this respect last Session, it promised to be greater now. He would not venture to make any suggestion as to the course to be taken; but if their Lordships intended to make any new rule upon the subject, the sooner they did so the better. The noble Lord, in reference to something which had before fallen from him relative to the Board of Trade, said he admitted the zeal and ability with which the railway duties of that Department had been performed.

Bills read 2a.

House adjourned.
