§ SIR GEORGE GREYasked, Whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not think it would be expedient to postpone this Bill till another Session? Very extensive alterations had been made in it, and it certainly required full consideration.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, that he was under the impression when he made the statement to the House the other day as to the probable conduct of public business, that no considerable, or, indeed, any opposition, would be offered to this Bill by right hon. or hon. Gentlemen opposite. If, however, he was to understand that any very considerable opposition was to be offered to the Bill, that would very much influence him in the decision at which he had arrived in regard to this Bill, as the time of the House was necessarily limited. He would consider the matter and give the right hon. Gentleman an answer to-morrow or Monday.
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, he did not mean to imply that he should oppose the Bill; but he thought it would require very full consideration, and the subject was not pressing.
