§ Order of the Day for going into Committee read.
704THE LORD CHANCELLORsaid, that since he introduced this Bill, his noble and learned Friend (Lord Colonsay), who was thoroughly acquainted with Scotch law, had taken his seat in this House, and had his attention called to the Bill. His noble Friend had made suggestions for the amendment of some of its provisions, which suggestions he (the Lord Chancellor) had adopted. He had also been in communication with the Lord Advocate on the subject of the Bill, and he had recommended other amendments, which he had also acquiesced in. Under these circumstances, he was of opinion that the best course he could pursue was to propose to their Lordships to go into Committee on the Bill pro formâ, and to have it re-printed with all the Amendments.
§ Bill considered in Committee, and reported without Amendment; Amendments made, and Bill to be printed as amended (No. 66).
