HC Deb 13 June 1865 vol 180 c183

Order for Committee read.

MR. KINNAIRD

suggested that this Order should be discharged. The Bill was one of 140 clauses, and there was not the least likelihood of its passing this Session.

THE LORD ADVOCATE

said, they never could pass any Bill unless they tried to do so. It was only fair towards the noble Lord the Member for Haddingtonshire (Lord Elcho), who had taken such pains with this important measure, that the Government should afford him all the assistance in their power.

Committee deferred till Thursday.
