§
LORD STANLEY OF ALDERLEY moved to resolve
That as regards the said Bills, they are all connected one with the other, and the two latter are Money Bills, and as regards the colony, Bills of Aid or Supply; and it appears that the said Bills were unavoidably delayed in coming to this House in consequence of the necessity of communicating with certain Members of the New Zealand Legislature, and from the late period at which the Select Committee to which these Bills were referred reported upon them to the other House of Parliament; and as great inconvenience
1377
would arise to that distant colony if legislation was postponed till another year, the circumstances which render legislation on the subject matter of the said Bills expedient are in the opinion of this House of such urgency as to render the immediate consideration of the same necessary.
§ LORD REDESDALEsaid, he should make no objection.
§ Motion agreed to; Bills read 2a according to Order; and committed to a Committee of the whole House on Thursday next.
§ House adjourned at Six o'clock, to Thursday next, half-past Ten o'clock.
