HL Deb 04 July 1865 vol 180 cc1143-4

Amendments reported (according to Order).

LORD DENMAN moved the omission of all the words in the 4th Clause except, "For any penalty not exceeding £5 two months;" also, that in 6th Clause the words "not exceeding £5" should be inserted.

LORD STANLEY OF ALDERLEY

intimated that he did not hear the proposed Amendments of Lord Denman.

After a few words from Lord CHELMSFORD,

LORD REDESDALE

said, that he retained the objection to the Bill which he stated on a previous occasion, that it would take away all discretion from the magistrates. The measure had, in his opinion, never been properly considered.

LORD STANLEY OF ALDERLEY

considered the Bill to be a proper and necessary measure.

Amendment made.

Standing Orders No. 37 and 38 considered and dispensed with.

Then it was moved, That the Bill be now read 3a.—( Lord Stanley of Alderley.)

LORD DENMAN

said, that as neither of his Amendments were attended to he felt compelled to divide the House against the Bill.

An Amendment moved, to leave out ("now,") and insert ("this Day Three Months.")—(Lord Denman.)

On Question, That "now" stand part of the Motion? their Lordships divided:—Contents 22; Not-Contents 14: Majority 8:—Resolved in the Affirmative: Bill read 3a accordingly, with the Amendments, and passed, and sent to the Commons.
