LORD DENMAN,in rising to ask the Lord Chancellor if the Bills for the Duration of Speeches in Parliament and for Women's Suffrage might be down for Second Reading on Monday, the 2nd September, said that the Second Reading of the two Bills referred to would have a good effect in another place. They related to subjects in which he had always taken great interest, and, if at all practicable, he would like another opportunity during the present Session of pressing their importance upon the House, because owing to his advanced age he might not have an opportunity in a subsequent Session.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORsaid that there would be no difficulty in placing the Second Reading of the two Bills in question upon the Orders of the Day for the 2nd September, if the House happened to be sitting upon that day, but he ventured to express the hope that that contingency would not arise.
