EARL RUSSELLMy Lords, I beg to present a Bill to amend the laws relating to blasphemy. It is only a one-clause Bill, but as your Lordships will probably like time in which to consider it, I Propose to take the Second Reading some time after Whitsuntide. I beg to move that the Bill be read a first time.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 1a.—(Earl Russell.)
§ On Question, Bill read 1a; and to be printed.
