Sir 0. STRICKLAND understood that it war es. It was
to be converted Into an 01111111111 i net eissrge, whisk would
be attended with all the inconvenience of the copyhold
tenure, and after all it would not be anything like the fee
simple. He believed that when the bill was fairly ex-
amined it would be found that it was not worthy of support.
Mr. HUME said the object of this bill was to turn copy-
holds into freeholds within a limited period. He could not
conceive anything more advanuigeouv to landowners.

Mr. FRESHFLELD believed that the bill would be be-
&otitis!.

Mr. MULLINGS said be did not rim to discuss the bill
bet to correct a very erroneous impression which the hon.
baronet was labouring under. The object of the bill was to
make copyholds freehold. With regard to the compoine-
tion for steward., the simple movisson was that they should
hare on the deed of enfranchisement one set of eopyhold

fee., and there was an end of it.
rho bill was then read a +frond time, and wee ordered to
be committed on the 3rd of March.
