HC Deb 20 August 1857 vol 147 c1894

Order for considering the Bill, as amended, read.

MR. CRAUFURD

said, he had to move the insertion of a clause providing that the Bill should not apply to Scotland, on the ground that the machinery of it would be unworkable there, and that the Scotch common law was amply sufficient for meeting the class of offences dealt with by the Bill.

Clause twice read and made part of the Bill.

Bill to be read 3o To-morrow.
