§ MR. MORGAN LLOYDasked the honourable Member for Durham, If he intends to proceed with his Bill for the abolition of the Action for Breach of Promise of Marriage this Session; and, if so, on what day?
§ MR. HERSCHELL, in reply, said, he believed the Bill excited considerable interest among many Members of the House, and he was anxious to take a discussion upon it. At the same time, at this period of the Session, his prospects of doing so were not very bright; but he did not see why he should abandon them altogether in despair. He could hardly expect the Government to give him a night, although he should be obliged to them if they could do so. He did not propose to proceed with it that night; but he would put it down for that day fortnight, and take his chance of whatever might turn up.
