§ Mr. Giddy, alluding to the Bill relative to copy rights of books, wished to state, that a clause introduced in the Bill, which tended to throw an unmerited reflection on certain establishments for learning, should not have his assent. It had been reported, no doubt erroneously, that these learned bodies authorised the copies of books which were sent to them gratis, to be sold. He had no doubt that the suspicion or accusation was unfounded; and as he was the last man in the world who would countenance such an insinuation, he wished it to be understood, that it was not his intention to preserve the clause in question.
