§ Order for Third Reading read and discharged.
§ Bill re-committed; considered in Committee.
§ MR. CAVEsaid, that this Bill was founded upon a convention which was to last ten years. That was much too long a time. There might be mistakes ab initio as that with regard to paper and rag duties in the French Treaty; or an altered state of affairs might arise, as was the case with the oyster fisheries affected by the French Fishery Convention, and so much mischief might ensue. Could not the Chancellor of the Exchequer arrange these conventions for shorter periods?
§ Amendments agreed to.
§ House resumed.
§ Bill reported; as amended, considered.
§ Bill read 3°, and passed.
