He could not at that late hour enter into details, or state what the views of the Government were upon it; but he hoped that a scheme to deal with the subject would be one of the first proposals which he should bring before Parliament in the next Session.
§ Original Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
§ Committee deferred till Monday next.
