§ Lord Morpeth moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Dublin Police Acts. The noble Lord observed, that as the measure was identically similar to that which he had introduced towards the close of the last Session, he was saved the necessity of offering any exposition of its details upon the present occasion. It would suffice to say, that the object he had in view was the establishment in Dublin of a police force of the same character, and governed by the same regulations, as that now to be found in the metropolis.
§ Mr. Shawcoincided in the policy of several of the alterations which the measure went to effect; and, therefore, would not oppose its introduction. The details of the Bill would, however, require much consideration in Committee. He alluded particularly to the great expense which the Bill would entail on the City, and to the manner of appointing the officers.
§ Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
