§ MR. W. JOHNSTON, in moving for leave to bring in a Bill "to repeal an Act, intituled 'An Act to restrain Party Processions in Ireland,"' said, he hoped the House would extend to him the usual courtesy, and allow the Bill to be introduced and read the first time. He trusted that, on the second reading, he would be able to lay such reasons before the House as would induce it to concur in the repeal of that Act, believing, as he did that its repeal would be in accordance with justice and equity, and calculated to promote the prosperity, welfare, and peace of Ireland. The hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in the Bill.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill to repeal an Act intituled "An Act to restrain Party Processions in Ireland," ordered to be brought in by Mr. WILLIAM JOHNSTON and The O'DONOGHUE.
