§ Order of the Day for the House to be put into Committee, read.
§ Moved, "That the House do now resolve itself into Committee upon the said Bill."
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord HERSCHELL)My Lords, before the House goes into Committee on this Bill I desire to say that, as some misapprehension has been expressed by the Board of Trade with regard to the framing of this measure, I consequently should wish to postpone it with the view of consulting with them. I think we shall arrive at a conclusion which will meet their views. I intend, with that object, to propose one or two Amendments in Standing Committee upon matters of detail, not of principle, which no doubt will meet the objection entertained.
§ Motion agreed to; House in Committee accordingly.
§ Bill reported without Amendment; and re-committed to the Standing Committee.
