HC Deb 03 August 1857 vol 147 c929
Sir FREDERIC THESIGER

Sir, seeing the Noble Lord the Member for the City of London in his place, perhaps I may be permitted to ask him, supposing the House should agree to the Motion of which he has given notice for the appointment of a Select Committee to consider whether the Act of the 5 & 6 Will. IV., chap. 62, is applicable to Oaths appointed by law to be taken by Members of this House at the Table, what he proposes to do with the Bill which stands for to-night in his name for a second reading?

LORD JOHN RUSSELL

I propose to postpone that Bill for a week.
