§ The House went into Committee on the Highways' Bill, and was occupied with it the whole evening. Several Amendments were proposed, and several divisions took place; one of which proposed by Mr. Cayley, deserves to be preserved. On the 66th Clause being proposed, it was moved that those should be exempt from summary penalties who might plough up foot-paths. The Committee divided—Ayes 35; Noes 35.
§ The Chairman (Mr. Pryme) gave the casting vote in favour of the Amendment.
