THE LORD CHANCELLOR, on rising to introduce a Bill to amend the Law relating to Promissory Oaths, said, it was not his intention to explain its object on the present occasion. When, however, the Bill came on for a second reading, he would fully state the purport of its provisions. He would now merely ask their Lordships to assent to the first reading, and would fix the second reading for Tuesday next.
