The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected, and the

LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL.

Landlord and Tenant Bill.
Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the progress of the
measure at that late hour, and moved the adjournment
of the House.
For the adjournment ...
Against it ... . .
Majority against ...
On our return to the gallery we found
Colonel SIBTHORP repeating his protestations
against the Bill, denouncing it as dangerous, delusive.
and disgusting, and altogether uncalled for. It was a
partial Bill to suit partial feelings and partial purposes.
It created suspicion between landlord and tenant. He
objected to the manner in which the Bill was brought in
and attempted to be smuggled through the House at a
quarter after one o'clock. He moved that the Bill be
further considered that day six months.
The SPEAKER said the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman
having already moved the adjournment of the House, it
was not competent for him to move an adjournment of
the Bill for six months.
Colonel SIBTHORP then moved the adjournment of
the debste.
Mr. FORBES seconded the motion.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the adjournment ... ... 3
Against it
Majority against it ... ... —4B
Several amendments were made in the Bill, and clauses
were about being added, when
Colonel SIBTHORP moved that the House be counted.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but on a count
upwards of forty Members were found present.
The consideration of the clauses was then proceeded
with, and they were adopted. The Bill was ordered to
be considered as amended.
The House then adjourned, at a Quarter to Two.
