THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF DONOUGHMORE)My Lords, I beg to move the Motion which stands on the Paper in my name. It is the ordinary Motion which is moved at this stage of the Session. I would only say that I think it is specially important this Session when, as we all know, it is the desire of His Majesty's Government to bring the Session to an end earlier than usual.

§ That this House will not receive any Petition for a Private Bill later than Tuesday the 1st of May next, unless such Private Bill shall have been approved by the High Court of Justice; nor any Petition for a Private Bill approved by the High Court of Justice after Thursday the 3rd of May next:
§ That this House will not receive any report from the Judges upon Petitions presented to this House for Private Bills after Thursday the 3rd of May next.—(The Earl of Donoughmore.)
