§ Order of the Day for receiving the Report of the Amendments read.
§ Moved, "That the said Report be now received."—(The Lord FitzGerald.)
§ LORD ASHBOURNEsaid, he would suggest that, as there had been several new Amendments of importance placed upon the Paper, the present stage of the Bill should be postponed for a few days.
§ LORD FITZGERALDsaid, he was willing to postpone the Report of Amendment until Monday, and the new clauses of which he had given Notice to the third reading stage.
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYsaid, he thought it would be more convenient to re-commit the Bill.
THE EARL OF LIMERICKsaid, that the new clauses introduced, for the first time, the Land Commission to fix the price of land taken compulsorily under the Labourers Acts. Considering the importance of the point, he submitted that the Bill ought to be re-committed.
§ Amendment moved, to leave out from the word ("that") to the end of the Motion and insert ("the Bill be recommitted to a Committee of the Whole House.")—(The Earl of Limerick.)
§ On question, Whether to agree to the said amendment, resolved in the negative: Then the original motion (by leave of the House) withdrawn: Moved, that the Report of the amendments be received on Friday next: The said motion agreed to.
