§ In reply to Mr. HARVEY LEWIS,
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, the Parochial Assessments Bill of last Session was referred to a Select Committee, which came to a certain Resolution respecting it, in consequence of which the Bill was re-drawn. The Session was, however, too far advanced for its being considered; and the Committee, therefore, recommended that if the Bill should be brought in again this Session, and read a second time, it should be referred to a Select Committee. It was with the object of carrying that arrangement into effect that the House would be asked that night to read the Bill a second time.
