HL Deb 01 August 1844 vol 76 c1641
Lord Campbell

wished to draw their Lordships' attention to the Amendments made by the Commons in these Bills respecting the right of suing parties residing abroad for debt, which had been sent down from their Lordships' House and were now returned. The first Amendment, as it merely explained more fully what he considered the intention of the Bill to be, namely, that the Act should apply only to parties who were actually domiciled abroad, he did not object to, and he would advise their Lordships to agree to it. But the second was a very strange one, and excluded persons domiciled in Scotland from the operation of the Bill. In this he could not conceive that there was any reason, and he therefore should recommend their Lordships not to agree to it. He supposed that a conference with the other House would be necessary.

First Amendment agreed to; a conference with the Commons to be requested as to the second.
