HC Deb 05 May 1864 vol 175 cc84-5

Lords Amendments considered.

The first Amendment, to leave out Clause 4, read.

MR. HENNESSY

said, he wished to point out that the House of Lords had struck out the clause which empowered the guardians to bury a member of a poor family without compelling the whole family to enter the workhouse. He begged to move that the House disagree with the Lords Amendment.

SIR ROBERT PEEL

said, he hoped the hon. Member for the King's County (Mr. Hennessy) would not press his Motion to a division, as such a course might bring that House into collision with the other House of Parliament.

LORD NAAS

said, he viewed the matter in the same light as did the right hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth (Sir Robert Peel).

Motion made, and Question put, "That this House doth agree with The Lords in the said Amendment." — (Sir Robert Peel.)

The House divided:—Ayes 29; Noes 9: Majority 20.
