HC Deb 17 May 1860 vol 158 cc1437-8

Order for Committee read.

MR. BOWYER

said, he would move that this Bill be committed pro formâ, in order that certain additional clauses which had been proposed by the Attorney General on the part of the Government might be printed. He stated that the measure was simply a conveyancing Bill, and involved no important principle.

House in Committee.

MR. NEWDEGATE

said, he hoped that as this Bill involved a number of serious considerations, and the repeal of many Acts, the Government would give an opportunity for its full consideration.

MR. BOWYER

observed, that it was merely a conveyancing Bill to remedy certain defects of title in Roman Catholic trusts. He would suggest its reconsideration that day week. It involved no principle.

MR. NEWDEGATE

said, he must object to that course, as it would be calcu- lated to postpone the discussion of the Bill, and pass it without any.

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

said, the Bill was the Bill of the hon. Member for Dundalk, and he would fix the day for the consideration of the Bill in Committee.

Amendments inserted.

Bill reported; re-committed for Thursday next.

The House resumed.
