HC Deb 18 February 1839 vol 45 cc581-4
Viscount Morpeth

moved the Order of the Day, for the House going into Committee of the whole House on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill.

The House went into Committee.

Upon Clause 8,

Sir Robert Fergusson

thought there ought to be some alteration with respect to the latter part of the clause as it was at present framed, and he thought it was likely to create great difficulty. He thought that the Poor-law Commissioners should have the power of appointing the barrister who was to decide upon the validity of the rate.

The clauses were agreed to.—The House resumed.
