§ THE EARL OF MALMESBURYsaid, that the noble Marquess who had brought in this Bill had given notice of his intention to move the second reading on Monday next. He wished to ask the noble Lord, Whether it would not be convenient to postpone the second reading to the following Thursday? He had just given reasons which sufficiently showed the desirability of putting off the debate for a day or two.
THE MARQUESS OF CLANRICARDE, in assenting to the postponement, expressed the hope that the debate would proceed on Thursday, and that the postponement would not involve any delay in the appointment of the Select Committee.
