§ On the motion for reading the Order of the Day for going into Committee of Supply,
§ Sir E. Sugdenbegged to ask the noble Lord opposite when he intended to proceed with this important bill for the administration of justice? He must say, that if the bill should be pressed through the House, at that late period of the Session, he should feel it his duty to oppose it.
§ Lord John Russellsaid, he thought it most desirable that those bills which had originated in the House of Commons should be sent up to the House of Lords, before they took into consideration bills that had come down from the other House. He therefore did not intend to proceed with the Administration of Justice Bill till next week.
§ Sir E. Sugdensaid, that this was an unusual course to take with respect to so important a bill. He should certainly oppose the passing of the bill this Session.
