§ VISCOUNT PEELMy Lords, this Amendment is not at all important. It is only putting a paragraph in another place, and is therefore really a matter of drafting. I move that your Lordships do not insist on your Amendment, and agree to the Commons Amendment.
§ Moved, That this House doth not insist upon its Amendment, and agrees with the Commons in the Amendment proposed in lieu thereof.—(Viscount Peel.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
