The Local Tokens Bill was read a third time and
, passed.
Mr. IL AIiDINGTON, on moving the first reading
of the new-Local Militia Bill, desired the attention
at the house for a feW moments. It appeared;
he said, from several letters which he had received
that morning, that a very. erroneous opinion had
gone abroad, as to his intentions in moving Orli
Bill, and that he Meant to propose sonic radical
alterations in the excellent Act, passed last year.
Nothing, he could assure the Llouse, Was further
from his thoughts, add from those of the noble
person at the head of the Department to which he be-
longed. Hethought he had guarded hiinself against
the possibility of such a mistake the day before,
when he had moved for leave to bring it in. In fact,,
the Local Militia Bill of last yeat„ had been con-
structedwith so much care, industry, and ability,
that any attempt to introduce any material altera-
tions in it, would, in hiS 'opinion, be worse titan
Useless. The which 'ha was now moving
the first reading, coatained.no more than five or
six Clauses, to which he proposed to add one
More- the Committee, alt of them necessary,
as. appeared to him, 'and tending yOucipttily to ex-
plain. and elucidate sonic. Clauses in the Act of
last. year, which had: admitted of a doUbtfel con-
struction. - .
A Bill, which he brought in , for this purpose,
was:then read a- first, and 'ordered to be read a
second time on. Tuesday next.
i lie then brought in a similar Bill for Scotland.
Rend a first, and Ordered to be read a second tilott
alCruesdny,. He also broaght in the .Bill for eu-
abling t portion of 'the Cornish Miners*to enter
into thereeadar army. Read alirst anti ordered to
read a :e.cond time ou Fridayo,Adjourned.
