HL Deb 05 April 1852 vol 120 c682

LORD COLCHESTER moved that the Bill should be committed pro formâ, and whatever amendments were to be proposed should be discussed at the third reading.

The EARL of MINTO

was not aware that there was anything that required discussion which could not take place in Committee.

The EARL of DERBY

observed, that there was only one question to be discussed, namely, whether it was expedient to extend the operation of the Act to Scotland. To allow the Bill to pass through Committee without proposing any amendment, and to take that subject for discussion on the third reading, would, he thought, be the most convenient course.

House in Committee.

Amendments made: Report to be received To-morrow.

House adjourned till To-morrow.
