§ On the Order of the Day for resuming the debate on the Debts of Parishes Bill in committee having been read,
§ Mr. B. Woodexpressed a hope, that the bill would be postponed till next Session. Parliament ought to be in possession of more information than it at present possessed on the subject, before it proceeded to legislate with reference to it, and there would be no difficulty in obtaining that information before the next Session. He (Mr. Wood) intended to move for a return of those debts, with a classification, which return would afford very valuable information to the House on the subject of the bill, and there would be no difficulty in obtaining the return in the recess.
§ Mr. Wakleyalso expressed his opinion that the House ought to have more information before they proceeded to legislate on the subject.
§ Mr. Plumptresaid, that in consequence of what had fallen from the hon. Gentlemen opposite, he would not then press the bill.
§ Debate further adjourned.
