HC Deb 23 June 1845 vol 81 c1036

In answer to a question from Mr. S. Crawford,

Sir James Graham

said, that having ascertained that there existed in the country great contrariety of opinion respecting the proposed change in the Law of Settlement, he did not intend to press that part of the measure in the present Session. Nevertheless he hoped that the Bill might be read a second time, as the larger portion of it related to the power of removal and the mode of trying appeals; he was most anxious that in these respects a remedy should be applied to the defective law in the present Session.
