§ Commons Amendment considered (according to order).
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORThis Bill, as I brought it in, was to meet a particular difficulty in the Act; and in pursuance of a request from merchants in Liverpool I strove to meet that difficulty, but I am afraid the adoption of the Amendment in its present terms would give the measure a far wider application than the authors, or those interested in it, would desire. I propose a adopt it as far as possible, omitting 933 certain words, and adding or transposing others.
Some of the Commons Amendments agreed to; some agreed to, with Amendments; one disagreed to; and a Committee appointed to prepare a Reason to be to be offered to the Commons for the Lords disagreeing to one of their Amendments: The Committee to meet forthwith.
