§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading, read.
§ LORD HERSCHELLsaid, he understood that some objection had been taken to the second reading of this Bill. He had hoped that it might be possible for their Lordships to pass the Bill before the Adjournment; but as he understood that there was opposition to that course he did not propose to press the matter upon the House, and to insist upon the 304 second reading being discussed at the present time. The Bill would, therefore, stand over till November.
§ Order discharged.
§ House adjourned during pleasure.
§ House resumed.
§ THE Lord KINTORE (E. Kintore) chosen Speaker in the absence of the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Commissioners.
§ House adjourned at a quarter past Twelve o'clock A.M., till Twelve o'clock noon.
