should propose to,recommit the Bill ,fOr the purpose
of adopting those Amendments.; he should then
propose to have it printed. He begged at the S4ITIC
time to suggest to th;mc gentlernee who might be
diyosed • to' discuss the ptieeiple of the •Bilt that
that discussion might earhap,i inure 'conveniently
take place in it None stage of the Bill.
Mr. Si 1 IcII7AN s lid, he perfetily concurred
in what hid fail-t•eS teem the Right Hoo. beptletriaFt,
atthe same time lie hoped that sio delay would take
place, but that'eirery effort would be Made to carry
the Bill into etfea as soon as po3sible. If there
were any Gentlemen who opposed the principle' of
the Bill, it certainly would be more. convenient to
pristpone that dihensslon to' a future stage of the
Bill. If gentlemen only entertained objeOloos.-to
partichlae Clauses, ;het undoubtedly was ti,'iCtliOti
for going into the Committee. lie hoped thai upon
this occasion gentlemen would not enter intn:an
mtamin4tion'of the merits or demerits of Ministers,
tut that they would for this day sacrifice All party
feelings, and endeavour,. to make the Bill' as period
as po:,sihle. ,

collet 0 from no eeaminalion of its Clauses, dill not
confirm' the avowed ()hied, fur, which the Bill was
brought forward. lle lamfeited that the. Bill had
not been brought forward earlier, even if had
, been in a more impeded state than it now4as, be.
Csllse then they would hoe bai time to ireeel if,
