HL Deb 18 February 1881 vol 258 c1219

Order of the Day for the House to be put into Committee, read.

LORD DENMAN

expressed a hope that the offices of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and Chief Baron of the Exchequer would be retained. It would be most objectionable to abolish these high Offices. He gave Notice that on the 24th instant he would renew the Motion he had made on that subject.

EARL GRANVILLE

wished to point out, as a matter of Order, that as the Motion had already been discussed it could not be renewed.

House in Committee accordingly; Bill reported without amendment: An amendment moved; objected to; and, on question, resolved in the affirmative: Amendments made; and Bill to be read 3a on Monday next; and to be printed as amended. (No. 36.)
