§ Mr. Tennysonsaid, that the Landlords and Tenants' bill, which he had had the honour to introduce, having now received the royal assent, he wished to give notice, before the House separated, that, conformably to an intention which he had before intimated, and to what he found to be a prevalent feeling on the subject, he should, early in the next session, move for leave to bring in a bill for further and more generally amending the laws which affect the relation of landlord and tenant, and especially for providing a more summary and accessible, and a less expensive remedy for recovering the possession, when unlawfully detained, of small tenements held at a rent not exceeding 20l. or 30l. a-year. He deemed it right to give this long notice, more effectually to direct the attention of the House and the country to a subject so important to the landed interest and the public at large, in order that, when he should bring it under the consideration of parliament, it might have the benefit of that previous and matured reflection, which it so much required, and so fully deserved.
§ On the following day, both Houses adjourned, the Lords till the 15th, and the Commons till the 21st, of August.
