§ Alderman Wood moved the second reading of the Hackney Carriages (Metropolis) Bill.
§ Colonel Sibthorpopposed it. He disapproved of it in toto, and considered it utterly inadequate to its purpose.

§ House divided, there being with the four tellers and the Speaker 41 Members present:—Ayes28; Noes 8: Majority 20.
