§ SIR JOHN SHELLEYsaid, he rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the proceedings of gas companies and others supplying the metropolis with gas. He did not expect any opposition to the Motion. The subject had occupied the attention of two Committees of the House in two different Sessions, but it would perhaps be more convenient if he deferred any remarks till hon. Members had had an opportunity of seeing how he proposed to deal with the subject.
§ Leave given.
§ Bill to regulate the proceedings of Gas Companies and others supplying the Metropolis with Gas, ordered to be brought in by Sir JOHN SHELLEY, Mr. BYNG, Mr. JOHN LOCKE, and Mr. AYETON.
