HL Deb 28 July 1873 vol 217 c1084

Commons Reasons for disagreeing to certain of the Amendments made by the Lords (according to Order) considered.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR

moved, not to insist upon the Amendments made by their Lordships.

LORD COLONSAY

regretted 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,
