Mr. Bankesmoved the second reading of the Sinecure Bill.
The Chancellor of the Exchequerdid not rise to oppose the progress of the Bill, but to state that he conceived it was not framed on a right principle, and therefore it was but fair to the hon. gentleman and to the House to state, that when the blanks were filled up, he should discuss the principle, and endeavour to convince the House that it was so erroneous that it ought not to be adopted.
Mr. Bankesthought the principle of the Bill was not objectionable. He stated that he should propose in the committee to fill up the blanks on that day se'nnight.
§ The Bill was then read a second time.
