§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. M'LAGAN (Linlithgow)said, that at the present stage of the Session he was unwilling to take any unfair advantage of hon. Members who might be absent by pressing this measure. Considering also that a great many Government Bills were on the Paper, and 1636 several of them relating to Scotland, he thought it more prudent, after consultation with his friends and the friends of the Bill, to ask the House that he should be allowed to withdraw the Bill.
§ Order discharged.
§ Bill withdrawn.
