STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES BILL. (Hansard, 30 July 1860)

LORD DENMAN
said, that this Bill, which stood on the paper in his name, had come up to the House after the 26th July, the day after which the Resolution adopted by their Lordships declared that no Bill, unless of a very urgent nature, should be read a second time. He considered this Bill to be of a very urgent nature, and therefore begged to move to resolve, That as regards the Stipendiary Magistrates Bill the Difficulties attending the Execution of the Office of Justice of the Peace in unincorporated 346 populous and increasing Towns and Places constitute Circumstances of such real Urgency as to render the immediate Consideration of the said Bill necessary.

§ LORD REDESDALE
thought his noble Friend had not made out any case which would justify the House in departing from the Resolution which had been adopted with regard to the period after which Bills, unless of an urgent character, would not be read a second time.

§ EARL GRANVILLE
understood that it was by mere inadvertence as to a point of form that the noble Lord had been prevented from placing the Notice on the Paper insufficient time. It was for their Lordships to consider, under such circumstances, whether they would be disposed to suspend the Standing Order.
