§ The order of the day was then read for summoning their lordships upon the occasion of the second reading of Earl Cholmondeley's Estate Bill.
The Lord Chancellorquitted the woolsack, and made several observations upon the peculiar nature of such Bills as that before the House, and the usage of their lordships' proceedings, accompanied with a few remarks upon the special case. In the course of these observations, the noble and learned lord suggested the propriety of the introduction of a clause into the Bill, for reserving the rights of the last remainder man until the period when he shall be capable of giving his consent.
§ Lord Alvanleymade a few observations upon the case, and announced his entire concurrence with what fell from the noble and learned lord. He took occasion to applaud the care and attention which had been usually paid by noble lords who had sat upon the woolsack to such proceedings as that in question.—The Bill was then read a second time; and on the motion of Lord Walsingham, committed for to-morrow fort night. Some routine business was then disposed of, and their lordships adjourned till to-morrow.
