§ Order for Third Reading read.
§ SIR JOHN SHELLEYsaid, he must renew the suggestion he had repeatedly offered, that a clause should be inserted, rendering it imperative on the Chief Commissioner of Police to qualify his signature to proclamations with the words, "By order of the Secretary of State for the Home Department."
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, that, as the Commissioner signed in his character of magistrate, it would be manifestly inconvenient to use the words in question. It was the practice, however, as he had previously stated, to submit all important proclamations to the consideration of the Home Secretary, whose approval was a necessary condition of publication.
§ Bill read 3° and passed.
