§ LORD ELCHOasked the hon. Member for Bedford (Mr. J. Howard), Whether he intended to proceed with his 1741 Landlord and Tenant Bill for England on Tuesday next. The measure had only been placed in the hands of hon. Members yesterday; and, as it made some very serious alterations in the relations between the landlord and tenant in this country, he hoped that the hon. Gentleman would afford the House longer time for its consideration before he moved the Second Reading?
§ MR. J. HOWARDsaid, he was afraid, having regard to the state of the Order Book, that if the business which had precedence of his Bill on Tuesday next terminated at a reasonable hour, he must avail himself of the chance of explaining the principles of the Bill.
