§ Captain Polhillsaid, he observed that there were upon the paper thirty-seven orders of the day, one of which was for the further consideration of the report of the Poor-law Amendment Bill. He wished to know whether the noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, intended to proceed with that order that evening.
§ Lord J. Russellsaid, he would state his intentions on the subject when the House came to dispose of the orders of the day.
§ Mr. Waltersaid, he had not distinctly heard the noble Lord's answer. He hoped the noble Lord would be good enough to state on what day he meant to proceed with the Poor-law Amendment Bill.
§ Lord John Russellsaid, it was not his intention to proceed with that bill during the present Session of Parliament.
§ Poor-law Amendment Bill put off for three months.
