§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading, read.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORThis is merely a Consolidation Bill upon the 1321 subject of foreign jurisdiction. As the object of it is merely to consolidate the Acts of Parliament, I anticipate no objection. Under ordinary circumstances, I should ask your Lordships to take this Bill in Committee of the whole House; but as it involves, by reason of the consolidation, some small Amendments of the law, I think it would be better that it should go before the Committee on Law.
§ Read 2a (according to order), and committed to the Standing Committee for Bills relating to Law, etc.
