§ Debate upon the Motion of Viscount Chaplin—viz., to resolve that the Bill be read 2a this day three months—resumed (according to Order).
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORThe original Motion last night was that this Bill be now read a second time. An Amendment was moved to leave out the word "now" for the purpose of substituting "this day three months." A division was claimed, and in consequence of there not being thirty Peers present the debate stood adjourned.
§ On Question, that the word "now" stand part, Motion agreed to, and Bill read 2a accordingly.
