LORD BROUGHAMrose, and Moved to reolve:—
That as regards the Debtors and Creditors Act Amendment Bill, inasmuch as Persons in actual Custody who were to be released by the Bankruptcy Bill lately withdrawn had relied upon that Bill being proceeded with, and had not considered any Amendment of the Debtors and Creditors Act was required; the Circumstances which require Legislation on the Subject-Matter of the said Bill are of such Urgency as to render the immediate Consideration of the same necessary.
§ Resolution agreed to.
§ Bill read 2a (according to Order); Committee negatived; and Bill to be read 3a To-morrow.
