§ Lord Ashleybegged to inquire of the right hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government, whether the Government intended to introduce any measure in the next Session of Parliament to amend the laws relating to factories?
§ Sir R. Peelhad no hesitation in saying that the postponement of the bill, which had been before the House, to a future Session, had not arisen from any doubt on the part of the Government of its importance or propriety, but only from the desire expressed by hon. Gentlemen on both 1300 sides of the House that it should be fully discussed. He was prepared to give his noble Friend an assurance that a bill would be introduced at a very early period of the next Session for the purpose of amending the law on this subject.

§ On clause 36, "no arms or ammunition to be kept by unlicensed persons."
§ Sir W. Barronmoved that the last three lines, enforcing penalty not exceeding 10l. and forfeiture, should be left out, and the words, "a fine not exceeding forty shillings," should be inserted.
§ After some conversation the amendment was withdrawn.
§ Clause agreed to.
§ Clauses up to 39 were then severally agreed to.
§ On clause 40, licensed persons lending their licences to other persons, to be liable to a penalty.
