§ A Bill to exempt Manure from paying Turnpike Tolls was read a third time.
§ Mr. Halfordfelt it his duty to move the Amendment of which he had given notice, with respect to draining tiles. He was the more encouraged to persevere in it, because he believed it would tend to the relief of the agricultural interests. He moved, that in the first Clause, after the words "Manure for land," the words, "or draining tiles, for agricultural purposes," be introduced.
§ Mr. Humedenied that this was a Bill for the relief of the agricultural interests; but it was intended to remedy the defects in the existing laws. Generally speaking, the tiles were given by the proprietor, and the tenant had only to place them, and could have no objection to pay Toll for them.
§ The House divided on the Amendment: Ayes 31; Noes 32; Majority 1.
