HC Deb 17 September 1841 vol 59 cc607-8

On the motion of Sir G. Clerk, that the Administration of Justice Bill be read a second time,

The Speaker

said, it appeared to him, that there were certain clauses in this bill affecting the privileges of the House. It would, therefore, be a matter for consideration whether the bill should be proceeded with.

Sir R. Peel

observed, that under the circumstance of money clauses being contained in the bill, the measure no doubt ought to be postponed. At the same time, he trusted, that the House of Lords would adopt a new bill, founded on the present one, when sent up from that House. He moved, that the bill be put off for six months.

The second reading put off for six months.

The House adjourned.
