§ MR. BRADYrose to call attention to the present unequal enforcement of the Act of 29 Charles 2, c. 7; and to move—
That this House deprecates the recent attempts to put in force the Act 29 Charles 2, c. 7, and is of opinion that the said Act should be repealed.The hon. Member was proceeding to speak upon his Motion, when—
§ MR. SPEAKERA Notice has been given by an hon. Member (Mr. P. A. Taylor) of his intention to propose, on the 18th of July, the repeal of the Act the 29th of Charles II., and that Notice 501 having been given some days ago, the hon. Member for Leitrim wishes now to move that this House deprecates the attempt to put the Act of Charles II. in force, and that it is the opinion of the House that the said Act should be repealed. Now, there is a Rule of the House that when a matter has been expressly set down for consideration, no hon. Member can anticipate it by raising a discussion on the subject. I think the course pursued by the hon. Gentleman would be an infringement of that Rule.
