  • Upon the return of the managers,
The Duke of Cleveland informed the House, that the managers for the House of Commons, had communicated to their Lordships the following resolutions:— 1. That the Resolution of the House of the 7th May, 1801, be rescinded; and that a new scheme, founded on the principles recommended by the Committee, be adopted. 2. That the whole number of copies of the Statutes for promulgation be printed of one uniform size. 3, That the Statutes for promulgation be of the royal octavo size, continuously printed. 4. That to secure the publicity and preservation of the Statutes for the use of the courts and offices, such copies shall be stamped, 'Promulgated for public use,' and be accompanied by a distinct notice on each volume, that they belong to the said courts and offices, and are to be solely appropriated for public use.

Resolutions to be printed.
