§ Sir R. H. Ingliswished to learn from his right hon. Friend on what day after Easter he intended to move the second reading of the Bill which came down from the other House that night, relating to the Jews?
§ Sir R. Peelcould not exactly state on what day he should move the second reading of this Bill. He must take the Estimates on the earliest days after Easter; but after the recess, he would mention on an early day when he would proceed with this Bill. He would take care that his hon. Friend had due notice. He presumed his hon. Friend had no objection to the first reading of it.
§ Sir R. H. Inglishad no hesitation in saying, that he must on principle object to the first reading of this Bill. He knew that it was usual, in regard to Bills brought from the other House, not to divide on the first readings. Within the last twenty years, he believed that there had been but three exceptions to this rule. Had the Bill originated in that House, he should have availed himself of the earliest opportunity of opposing it; but as it came from the House of Lords, he should, in conformity with the usual courtesy, allow the first reading to pass.
§ Sir R. Peelmoved that the Bill be read a first time.
