Mr. KINNAIRD expressed his surprise at the
cnotion of the honourable member for Glasairg ,
this stage of the bill. In London, where every 'brace"
manufacture was carried on; a similar act had been ibu
operation for some time, and had been found to 'Or°
well, both for the manufacturer and the public gene
rally. This bill had been for a considerable time before
the people of Scotland, yet not one petition had been
presented against it. He expressed his regret at Of
exceptions having been introduced into the bill, but be
telt certain that in a year or two hence, the pirseea
e.noged in the trades excepted would apply to be
brought within its provision. He opposed the motion.

BILL. -
The house went into committee on this bill and the
clauses were agreed to.
Sir E. PER,RY proposed to bring up a clause t°
exempt Scotland from the operations of the bill. 4
Mr. ROEBUOI protested against proceeding
the bill in such indecent haste. If the bill was good foe
England, it was equally good for Scotland ; but a 01°10
preposterous piece of legislation was never sent dooa
from the House of Lords, and that was saying
deal. It wal an attempt to make people virtuous 'le
'act of Parliament, and he was arraid it would be made
use of to establish a sort of magisterial inqpisition.
Sir G. GREY supported the bill, observing that It
was brought in by the Lord Chief Justice to correct II"
