§ MR. COLLIERsaid, he wished to move for leave to bring in a Bill to prohibit the payment of expenses of conveying Voters to the Poll in Cities and Boroughs. He would not say at that time anything of the merits of the measure except that it was based on the report of a Select Committee. 169 He had only further to observe that he had introduced the Bill in two consecutive Sessions, but upon each occasion he had been requested to withdraw it in consequence of the right hon. Gentleman the then Secretary of State for the Home Department being about to bring in a comprehensive measure on the subject. That comprehensive measure, however, had not yet been passed, and he now begged to say, without intending the slightest disrespect to the right hon. Gentleman, that it was his intention to press on his measure totally irrespective of any comprehensive measure that the right hon. Gentleman might have in view.
§ Leave given.
§ Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. COLLIER and Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS.
