§ The Lord Advocatemoved that the House go into 387 Committee on the Infeftment (Scotland) Bill. He wished the House to go into Committe pro formâ, in order to make one or two alterations in the measure.
§ Mr. Rutherfurddid not rise to oppose the Bill; on the contrary, he wished to render his learned Friend all the assistance in his power. The only objection he had to the measure was, that it did not go far enough; but, as far as it did go, he thought it would produce important benefits. The amendments which his learned Friend was about to propose, and which he had had an opportunity of seeing, would, he was satisfied, render the Bill still more valuable.
Mr. M. Stewartalso supported the Bill, and hoped its progress would not be unnecessarily delayed, as it was waited for in Scotland with considerable anxiety.
§ Bill went through Committee, and was reported.
