ELECTION RECOGNIZANCES BILL.
Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from Chel-

Lord MONTEAGLE, in cons« quence of the absence
of a Noble and Learned who was exceedingly anxious
to take psrt in the discussion of the Election Recog
nuances Bill, postponed the second reading of the Bill
to Monday, and he hoped that after that day no further
ob,taclea would be thruwu in the way of the progress of
the Bill.

Lord CAMPBELL thought that the Bill might be
read a second time sub silentio, and the discussion taken
on going into Committee.
Lord BROUGHAM reminded the House that al-
though the discussion on the principle of a Bill was
usually taken on the second reading, yet still it was nut
unusual by agreement to permit a Bill to be read a
second time, sub silentio, and to take the discussion on
the motion for going into Committee.
After a few words from the Earl of ELLENBOIOUGH
and Lord C.smPisem., the second reading of the Bill
was postponed to Monday.
