HL Deb 29 March 1830 vol 23 c961

The Earl of Rosslyn moved an amendment in the Standing Order No. 210, which was introduced by Lord Lauderdale with a view to check the introduction of bills for making Joint-stock companies for purposes of idle speculation. Almost every public improvement for which a bill was likely to be necessary was specifically excepted out of the operation of the Order. It became now requisite, however, to make some further exceptions of other works, of which mention was at first omitted, but which were strictly within the intention of the former exceptions.—Amendment, including in the exceptions Wharfs, Stairs or Landing-places, and Market-houses or Market-places, agreed to.
