§ Mr. O'Brien, in moving for leave to bring in a Bill for the relief of the aged, helpless, and infirm poor of Ireland, deprecated all discussion until he should hereafter move the second reading of the Bill, when he would be ready to enter into detail, and defend the principle of the measure.
§ Lord Althorpsaid, he should not deal fairly by the hon. Gentleman, and be wanting in candor to the House, if he did not then state his apprehension, that there might be considerable difficulty in carrying a Bill of this nature into execution. He feared that the Legislature would not be easily induced to consent to its adoption, but did not intend personally to oppose it in the event of its being approved of by hon. gentlemen unconnected with Government.
§ Leave given.
