§ (Sir Alexander Gordon, Mr. M'Logan, Mr. Barclay.)
§ [BILL 51.] SECOND READING.
§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ SIR ALEXANDER GORDONsaid, that last Session, it would be in the recollection of the House, they had a very satisfactory discussion on this Bill. One of the Members of the Government then stated that the provisions of the Bill would be taken into consideration when the Government introduced their Bill for Great Britain with regard to land. This Session, however, the Government obviously could not have the opportunity to do so. He was, however, quite content with the assurance that he last year received from the Government, and he did not, therefore, intend going on with the Bill at present. What he proposed was that it should be postponed till the 20th July.
Second Reading deferred till Wednesday 20th July.
