HC Deb 11 August 1832 vol 14 c1326
Mr. Spring Rice

, in moving the third reading of the Stage Coach Bill, took the opportunity of informing his hon. friend, the member for Glasgow, that his noble friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had consented to his suggestion, in totally exempting steam carriages from any toll on the ordinary roads. This was not much, but it would be found advantageous in promoting those ingenious and useful inventions.

Mr. Dixon

expressed his thanks to the noble Lord for his kindness in this respect.

Lord Althorp

hoped, that those machines would answer the expectations of those who had invented them.

Bill to be read a third time.
