On the original question being again put,

Lord Stanley

said, that his hon. Friend who had more than once postponed the bill, was quite willing to explain the bill; but if, at that late period of the evening, hon. Members would insist on the adjournment, he would recommend his hon. Friend to postpone the bill.

Sir J. Walsh

would consent to withdraw his motion.

Amendment and motion both withdrawn.
