§ Commons Reasons for disagreeing to certain of the Amendments made by the Lords (according to Order) considered.
§ LORD COLONSAYregretted that his Amendments respecting the Writers to the Signet were not assented to by the House of Commons. He was sorry that a society which had shown such a good example of how legal business should be conducted, and which was calculated to produce such a good effect upon other societies connected with the practice of the law, should have been treated in such a harsh manner. Yet he did not at this period of the Session, and under the existing circumstances, wish to insist upon dividing the House respecting the matter.
§ Motion —agreed to; Lords' Amendments to which the Commons have disagreed not insisted on,
