HC Deb 01 July 1857 vol 146 cc754-5

Order for Second Reading read.

LORD ELCHO

said that, as he understood that the discussion which had just concluded had been upon both these Bills, and the result of the division was in favour of No. 1, and against No. 3, he should not at present attempt to proceed further with the latter. At the same time, as he ventured to prophesy that the Bill No. 1 would not pass into law this Session, he gave notice that if the Government did not take up the question, he should next year reproduce the Bill No. 3 in its present form. Under these circumstances he moved that the order of the day for the second reading of the Medical Bill No. 3 should be read and discharged.

Order discharged; Bill withdrawn.
