HC Deb 12 May 1875 vol 224 c529
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

, in moving that the Order for the second reading of the Bill be read and discharged, said, he had originally brought in the Bill thinking that it would be one of general convenience. Its only object was to simplify the borough registration, which was now very complicated and expensive. Objections having, however, been made to the Bill, he now asked permission of the House to withdraw it, that he might move for leave to introduce a short Bill to amend the state of the law in reference to a defect which was shown in Registration Courts to be cause of great annoyance and considerable curtailment of the franchise.

Motion agreed to.

Order read and discharged: Bill withdrawn.
