HL Deb 26 August 1839 vol 50 c590

On the question that the Commons' Amendments to the Bolton Police Bill be agreed to.

The Duke of Wellington

observed, that the amendment returned by the Commons had no relation to the previous amendments made by their Lordships. He should not oppose the Commons' amendment, but he wished to protest against that mode of proceeding as irregular.

Amendment agreed to, a special entry having been made on their Lordships' journals, that their Lordships' agreement in this instance might not be drawn into a precedent.
