§ THE LORD CHANCELLORpresented these Bills and said that, with their Lordships' sanction, he would pass these Bills through the House with as much rapidity as the forms of the House would permit. The Debtor and Creditor Bill underwent considerable discussion in the last Parliament, and he had communicated with his noble and learned Friends who took great interest in it. He understood that one of his noble and learned Friends (Lord St. Leonards) proposed to introduce a clause which he thought was absolutely necessary to make the Bill complete. He proposed to take the second reading of both Bills to-morrow, and his noble and learned Friend could move his clause when the Debtor and Creditor Bill was in Committee. The other Bill was acquiesced in so completely by their Lordships that he did not anticipate any discussion upon it.
§ Bills read 1a and to be read 2a Tomorrow.
