HC Deb 09 August 1831 vol 5 cc1103-4
Mr. Crampton

said, as he understood the hon. and learned member for Kerry had some amendments to propose with respect to this Bill, he proposed, that the Committee upon it should be deferred to Monday next.

Mr. Ruthven

said, it was extremely inconsistent, that a measure of this description, involving so many important considerations to the administration of justice in Ireland, should be so frequently postponed, without a probability of its being brought under discussion. He, therefore, called upon the hon. and learned Gentleman, to fix some definite period for the consideration of this important measure.

Mr. Crampton

was perfectly alive to the necessity of pressing the Bill through the House with every possible despatch, consistent with a due and proper consideration of its provisions. But, in the present state of the business of the House, he felt it impossible to name any precise time when this desirable object could be accomplished.

Mr. Stanley

understood his noble friend, that Monday next was to be wholly devoted to the consideration of measures connected with Ireland; if so, this Bill could then be brought under discussion.

Committee deferred.
