HC Deb 04 July 1861 vol 164 cc369-70

Order for Committee read.

House in Committee.

Bill passed through Committee.

MR. COLLINS

gave notice that on the third reading of the Bill he should move that it be recommitted, in order to decide between the merits of Pontefract and Sheffield as a polling place.

MR. HADFIELD

hoped the next stage of the Bill would be fixed for Thursday to give him time to communicate with his constituents.

MR. COLLINS

said, if the Bill did not pass through the House of Lords before the 31st of July its operation would be a nullity as regarded Birkenhead, where the revision would shortly commence. He hoped the right hon. Gentleman would fix the next stage for Monday next.

SIR GEORGE LEWIS

intimated his intention of proceeding with the Bill on Monday.

House resumed.

Bill reported; as amended, to be considered on Monday next.

House adjourned at a quarter after Two o'clock.
