Many Innovations have crept into bike, and passed
through both Houses without notice, in consequence of the
amendments and alterations not having been marked, so as
to engage the attention of Members. We therefore were
glad that the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Friday night,
upon the debate on the Revenue Bill, acquiesced in Sir R.
Wilson's suggestion, that in future all new matter, or
words introduced into Bills of Amendment should be print-
ed in italics, a regulation which will also much assist the
dispatch of business.
