EARL RUSSELL

My Lords, a great deal of interest was taken in penalties in another place, and a difference was made in the penalty for the offence of taking hold of a vehicle for the purposes of being drawn or carried, and a smaller maximum penalty was attached to it. For that reason, it became necessary to redraft the clause so as to separate the offences and have different maximum penalties. I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in these Amendments.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(Earl Russell.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
