§ MR. BARROW (Southwark, Bermondsey)I beg to ask the Attorney General whether he will consider the desirability of omitting from the Bills of Sale Bill, 1893, now before the House, the clause exempting debentures of the nature of Bills of Sale, created by Incorporated Companies, from the operation of the laws regulating Bills of Sale; and whether he knows that the Council of the Associated Chambers of Commerce has emphatically condemned the exemption referred to?
§ * THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir C. RUSSELL,) Hackney, S.I cannot agree to the suggested omission, for the reason that the Bill is substantially a codification of the law as it now exists, and that existing law exempts debentures from the rules regulating bills of sale.
§ MR. BRUNNER (Cheshire, Northwich)Is the Bill to go before a Grand Committee?
§ SIR C. RUSSELLNo: if is proposed to send it to a Select Committee.
