§ *(12.14.) MR. H. H. FOWLER (Wolverhampton, E.)I would ask the House to go into Committee on this Bill pro formâ, so as to have the Amendments printed, and the Bill put into such a shape that the Government will be able to decide what to do.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir It. WEBSTER,) Isle of WightI have no objection to raise to the course proposed by the right hon. Gentleman, but I think I ought to point out that his Amendments are framed in order to confine the operation of the Bill to one set of rules, namely, legal rules. I am afraid there are serious objections to proceeding with this set of rules alone. I do not make this statement to object to the committal of the Bill, but in order that it may not be supposed that I assent to the Amendments.
§ Bill considered in Committee, and reported; to be printed, as amended [Bill 397]; re-committed for Monday next.
