Lord Farnhamwished to know from the noble Viscount opposite whether it was the intention of the Government to bring in a Bill during the present Session for the regulation of Municipal Corporations in Ireland. He begged to say, that the Report on the subject had only just been printed; that that Report was a very imperfect one, a circuit and a-half being totally omitted; and that at this late period of the Session it would be impossible to consider the whole of the Report, which consisted of above 1,100 pages, so that if a measure was now introduced it would be brought in at the end of the Session, and would be hurried through Parliament at a time when it was quite impossible that its details could be attended to.
§ Viscount Melbournesaid, that, the important subject mentioned by the noble Lord was under the consideration of the Ministers, and that he certainly hoped to 3 be able to propose some measure on the subject before the end of the Session.
