§ SIR E. COLEBROOKE moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the Amendment of the law for the Registration of County Voters in Scotland. He said that the Bill was substantially the same as that introduced last Session, and the principle of which had already received the sanction of the House. He had endeavoured in the present measure to meet the objections which had been entertained by some hon. Members on the other side of the House, 498 and which resolved themselves principally into matters of expense.
§ MR. BLACKBURNregarded the measure as must unnecessary. There was going to be a Reform Bill, and it seemed a mere waste of time to discuss a Registration Bill before it was known what there would be to register.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill for the Amendment of the Law for the Registration of County Voters in Scotland, ordered to be brought in by Sir EDWARD COLEBROOKE and Mr. DUNLOP.
§ Bill presented and read, 1o.
