HC Deb 16 July 1806 vol 7 c1175

The Land Tax Redemption Amendment bill, the Warehousing Goods bill, the Woods and Forests Surveyors' bill, the Windsor Forest bill, this Irish Hops Importation bill, the Grenada Loan bill, the Lottery bill, and the Stage Coach bill, were read a third time and passed. Upon the latter, sir John Sinclair took occasion to observe, that the provisions of this bill did not appear to go far enough to satisfy the wishes of the public. But yet it formed an additional arrangement to those already existing, which he hoped would operate to diminish the evils com- plained of, as to the number of passengers, particularly outside, upon stage coaches, and the general conduct of the drivers and guards of such vehicles. The hon. bart. added, that this bill was only meant to be temporary, and that he would, very early in the next session, call the attention of the house to this subject, in order that endeavours should be made to establish a more eligible system.
