BILLS OF EXCHANGE BILL.

HL Deb 29 July 1850 vol 113 cc392-3

LORD EDDISBURY moved the Second Reading of this Bill.

LORD MONTEAGLE

thought it ought to be a permanent and not a temporary measure.

LORD BROUGHAM

was of the same opinion.

The MARQUESS of LANSDOWNE

would have preferred a permanent measure, which would give facilities to the landed proprietors for raising money on their estates more easily and more cheaply; but as this Bill had come up from the Commons, he did not wish to interfere with it.

Bill read 2^a.
