HC Deb 20 July 1876 vol 230 c1628
MR. FAWCETT

asked the right honourable the Lord Mayor, Whether, in view of the general desire which is felt by the people of the Metropolis and of the counties of Surrey and Middlesex, that the Toll Bridges (River Thames) Bill, already considered by a Select Committee, should pass this Session, he will withdraw the Notice of opposition which he has given to the Motion to go into Committee on the Bill, so that any objections to the Bill may be considered in Committee?

THE LORD MAYOR (MR. ALDERMAN COTTON),

in reply, said, as the matter was the subject of an adjourned debate on the part of the Corporation, he was not prepared to withdraw his opposition to the Bill.
