§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ LORD PLAYFAIR, in moving the Second Reading, said, this was simply a Treasury Administrative Bill in reference to money paid by suitors which sometimes accumulated in the hands of Sheriffs. The Bill provided that after seven years unpaid consignations should be paid over to the Queen's Remembrancer or Lord Treasurer. It gave, at the same time, the right to any person who might not have claimed money to demand it from the Queen's Remembrancer.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Lord Playfair.)
1310§ Motion agreed to; Bill read 2a accordingly, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Thursday next.
