§ The MARQUESS of LANSDOWNE moved the Third Reading of the Buckinghamshire Summer Assizes Bill.
The DUKE OF BUCKINGHAMsaid, that he had been entrusted by the inhabitants of the town of Buckingham with a petition against this Bill. They believed that the change would not be for the benefit of the county. At Buckingham there was an excellent town-hall, and the best accommodation for the Judges, and, therefore, they conceived that it would be unfair, in consequence of a mere whim of the magistrates, to remove the assizes from their town.
§ The MARQUESS of LANSDOWNEdefended the Bill on the ground that Aylesbury was a more desirable situation for the assizes than Buckingham.
§ Bill read 3a, and passed.
§ House adjourned.
