§ [SECOND READING.]
§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
LORD DENMANMy Lords, this is one of those minor Treasury Bills that generally reach the House at a rather late period of the session. There is nothing of a contentious character, I believe, contained in the Bill. It is merely to set right a few anomalies at present existing in the law relating to Customs and Inland Revenue, and I beg leave, therefore, to move that the Bill be read a second time.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 2a.—(Lord Denman.)
§ On Question, Bill read 2a.
§ Committee negatived, and Bill to be read 3a on Monday next.
