COLONEL SIBTHORP

recommended the hon. Member to leave this measure in the hands of the Government, and moved that it be read a first time that day six months.

MR. NEWDEGATE

said, if hon. Gentlemen did not object to the principle of the Bill, they ought to wait for Committee to test its details. He had heard no objection to its principle; therefore he was at a loss to know why these repeated adjournments were moved.

SIR G. GREY

recommended that the Bill should be read a first time, as this was not even the time for testing its principle.

Mr. C. BERKELEY

said, he should at that hour of the night oppose the Motion, and move that the House do now adjourn.

MR. FORBES

hoped the hon. Member would not persist in his opposition to the first reading of the Bill. Government had consented to its introduction, and the feeling of the country was in favour of it. He trusted that out of common courtesy to the hon. Member for Birmingham, the hon. Gentleman (Mr. C. Berkeley) would withdraw his Amendment.

The House again divided on the question of adjournment:—Ayes 6; Noes 51: Majority 45.
