§ Order of the Day read for the consideration of yesterday's Message from the Commons
THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF DONOUGHMORE)My Lords, 1638 I beg to move the Motion which stands on the Order Paper, to give leave for the introduction of this Bill next Session. This Motion really does not require any elaborate explanation. The Bill has already passed your Lordships' House, but we received a Message from the House of Commons to the effect that they desire to suspend this measure till next Session and I presume your Lordships will have no objection. I recommend that course to the House. The Motion is the ordinary one on such occasions to set this House in order from that point of view.
§ Moved to resolve, That the promoter; of the Bill which has been introduced into this House in the present Session of Parliament, and which has passed this House and Oven sent to the House of Commons, shall hive leave to introduce the same, if they shall think fit, in the next Session of Parliament, provided that notice of their intention to do so be lodged in the Private Bill Office not later than three o'clock on the day prior to the close of the present Session, and that all fees due thereon, up to that period, be paid;
§ That such Bill shall be deposited in the Private Bill Office not later than three o'clock on or before the third day on which the House shall sit after the next meeting of Parliament, with a declaration annexed thereto, signed by the agent, stating that the Bill is the same in every respect as The Bill at the last stage of the proceedings thereon in this House in the present Session;
§ That the proceedings on such Bill shall be pro forma only in regard to every stage through which the same shall have passed in the present Session, and that no new fees be charged in regard to such stages;
§ That the Standing; Orders by which the proceedings on Bills are regulated shall not apply to such Bill in regard to any of the stages through which the same shall have passed during the present Session.—(The Earl, of Donoughmore.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to, and ordered accordingly.
§ Message sent to the Commons to acquaint them that, the Lords had concurred with them it: suspending the Bill.
