§ MR. H. BAILLIEsaid, he would beg to ask the right hon. and learned Lord Advocate whether he intended, during the present Session, to press through all its stages his Bill for the union of the colleges of Aberdeen with the University, or whether he only purposed to lay the Bill on the table. It was a question in which his constituents took a great interest, and he thought it would be impossible for any Bill on the subject to receive due consideration at that late period of the Session.
§ THE LORD ADVOCATEsaid, it had been considered, as he had stated on a former occasion, that the subject had reached that point in which it was ripe for legislation. At the same time, if any material opposition should be offered to the measure being proceeded with, he certainly should not attempt to pass it this Session.
