Upon the motion of Lord Duncannonthe Constabulary Bill (Ireland) was read a first time. Upon his Lordship proposing that it be read a second time on Monday next,
§ The Duke of Wellingtonobjected to this, as a very irregular course. The Bill had not as yet been printed, when their Lordships were told they should be called upon to discuss it on Monday next.
§ Lord Duncannonhad hoped that the Bill would be printed and in the hands of noble Lords by Saturday; and it was therefore he proposed the second reading for so early a day as Monday. If the Bill was not printed on Saturday he should not, of course, think of persevering. Bill read a first time.
