§ House in Committee on the Prisons (Ireland) Bill.
§ On the fourth clause, and on amendment being proposed,
§ Colonel Percevalobjected to the committee proceeding any further with the bill to-night, and to the practice of Government introducing a variety of new 716 bills at the close of the Session, when all the Irish members of the legal profession were necessarily absent, attending the assizes. He moved that the Chairman report progress.
§ Viscount Morpethsaid, these bills were for advancing the general interests of the country, if, therefore, the hon. and gallant Member persisted in his opposition, he should certainly divide the House upon it.
§ Colonel Percevalthought that these bills were introduced for party purposes; and he should therefore persist in his motion.
§ The Committee divided; Ayes 18; Noes 29: Majority 11.
