§ Amendments reported (according to Order).
THE EARL OF DONOUGHMOREsaid, that having had a private communication with his noble Friend (the Earl of Belmore), who had given notice to move to omit Clause 10, he would move to omit certain words and insert others to make the sanction of the Judge of the Landed Estates Court necessary for the sale of any reservations.
THE EARL OF BELMOREsaid, that he would accept the compromise offered by his noble Friend. At the same time, he still retained his objection to the clause—namely, that it gave power to sell something of which the future value could not be satisfactorily ascertained.
THE LORD CHANCELLORhoped that the Bill might be reprinted, in order that it might be properly considered. Here was an Amendment made, and then withdrawn, and another Amendment made, and it was impossible to know what might be the consequences with regard to the action of the Court.
§ Bill to be read 3a on Thursday next; and Bill, with the Amendments, to be printed. (No. 139.)
