HC Deb 16 August 1836 vol 35 c1269

Lord Dudley Stuart moved for leave to bring in a Bill to explain and amend the Savings' Banks' Act. His object was to indemnify trustees and managers, acting under that Act. If the House would read it a first time, and have it printed, he would postpone the second reading until next Session.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer

deprecated interfering with the constitution of the Savings' Banks without the exercise of the greatest caution. He could not consent to the introduction of the Bill, as it would excite great confusion and alarm.

Mr. Hume

also objected to the Bill. The mere introduction of it would be productive of great evil, and, therefore, he trusted the noble Lord would not persist in his motion.

Lord Dudley Stuart

consented to withdraw the Bill for the present Session.
