§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading, read.
§ LORD DENMAN, in moving the Second Reading, said, that in view of the unfair opposition which had been made out of doors to this Bill, he thought it would be an excellent thing if it were carried in their Lordships' House, and submitted to the opinion of the other House at the next meeting of Parliament. He begged, therefore, to move that the Bill be now read a second time, so that, with the suspension of the Standing Orders in its favour, it might be passed through all its stages in that House.
818§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Lord Denman.)
§ On Question, resolved in the negative.
