§ A conference having been held with the Lords,
LORD J. RUSSELLappeared at the bar, and reported that a deputation from the House of Lords had communicated to them two Resolutions, recommended for adoption by a Select Committee of their Lordships' House, and agreed to afterwards by that House. They were as follow:—
1st, That the Lords are willing to receive from the Commons, in one Message, all Commons' Bills when first brought up to this House; all Lords' Bills returned from the House of Commons without any amendment made thereto; and all Commons' Bills returned therefrom with the Lords' Amendments thereto agreed to, without any Amendment—a List of such Bills, with a statement of the assent of the Commons thereto, being brought by the Messengers from the House of Commons, and delivered together with the Bills so brought up.2nd. That whereas, by custom, heretofore, all Messages from the House of Commons to the House of Lords have been attended by eight Members of the House of Commons, and whereas the attendance of so many may occasionally be inconvenient to the Members of the said House, the Lords desire to communicate to the Commons their willingness to receive such Messages when brought up by live Members only, to which they desire the concurrence of the Commons.''
§ Resolutions ordered to be referred to a Select Committee.
