§ On the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Bribery at Elections Bill, brought up from the Commons, being read,
§ Lord Wynfordopposed the Bill. He should be as glad as any one to find some means of putting down Bribery and corruption, but he was afraid that the present Bill would not have that result. He hoped, therefore, that the noble and learned Lord would postpone the measure till next Session.
The Lord Chancellorwas as much opposed to some of the provisions of the Bill as his noble and learned friend. In addition to that, many most important clauses which had been agreed to in a former Bill had been left out, and with the hopes of having these inserted in a new Bill, he would postpone the Bill till next Session.
§ Order of the Day discharged.
