§ MR. HADFIELDsaid, he would beg to ask Mr. Attorney General, Whether he intends to bring in a Bill this Session for promoting the Revision of the Statute Law by repealing certain enactments which have ceased to be in force or have become unnecessary, and in continuation of the Act 26 & 27 Vict. c. 125, which brought the Revision of Statutes to the end of the reign of James II?
THE ATTORNEY GENERALsaid, in reply, that a revision of the statute law, with a view to the repeal of such statutes as had become obsolete or unnecessary, was being proceeded with under the direction of the Lord Chancellor, the revision taking up the period between the end of the reign of James II. and the 10th year of George III. The Bill prepared was in the hands of the Lord Chancellor, and would, he understood, be brought into the House of Lords in a few days.
