HC Deb 15 July 1948 vol 453 c1574

Lords Amendment: In page 18, line 33, leave out from "1859" to "or" in line 34.

Mr. Ede

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The effect of this Amendment and the next one to line 36 is to get rid of the references to the Law Terms Act of 1830 which applies only to Wales and makes provision with regard to fines and forfeited recognizances before courts of assize in Wales. These provisions are different from those contained in Section 32 of the Queen's Remembrancer Act, 1859, relating to fines and forfeited recognizances before courts of assize in England. The differences give rise to anomalies, and it is desired to remove them.
