HC Deb 12 March 1847 vol 90 cc1325-6

On the Order of the Day being read for the consideration of the Report on the Drainage of Lands Bill,

SIR G. GREY

announced the determination of the Government to restrict the sums advanced to 10,000l. instead of 15,000l.

CAPTAIN GORDON

complained of the sum being so restricted.

SIR J. GRAHAM

thought the Government were entitled to great credit for the course they had taken; the intention being, as he understood, to benefit the yeomanry, and not the large proprietors.

Report agreed to.

Bill to be read a third time.

House adjourned at One o'clock.
