§ Order for Committee read.
§ House in Committee.
§ MR. ALCOCKobjected that the Bill gave the power to impose tolls on turnpike roads on which no debt was due. There were cases in which a small debt was kept up on purpose to give the right to impose the toll. He would move as an Amendment that the Act do not continue beyond November, 1860, to any trust, except in cases where the bond debts due remained unliquidated, or amounted to less than one year's income.
SIR GEORGE LEWISexplained that the object of the Bill was simply to avoid the expenses which would fall upon insolvent trusts if they were compelled to come to the House annually to renew their trusts. There was no desire to interfere with solvent trusts.
§ Bill passed through Committee.
§ House resumed.
§ Bill reported, without Amendment.
