§ Order for Third Reading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Bill be now read the third time."—(Sir Charles Forster.)
§ SIR ROBERT PEELsaid, that a Bill under a similar title was before the House last year; and he wished to know whether the present Bill gave further powers to the same Company? It would be remembered that last year there was considerable discussion with regard to certain questionable transactions in reference to this Company; and, unless an explanation could be given, he thought it would be desirable to postpone the final stage of the Bill.
§ SIR CHARLES FORSTERsaid, he was not able to explain the provisions of the Bill; but, as an objection had 467 been taken, he was prepared to postpone the further consideration of the question until to-morrow.
§ Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
§ Bill to be read the third time Tomorrow.
