Bill, and observing chat very injurious cattseqtienees might result
from peratiteng the existing lilt! to expire before the preparation
of another to replace ir, gave no:lce that he would himself, on

REDXSDALt, the Loan Cuoncattoa, Lord Ettestaoaouao,
Lord Huttaten, and Earl STANNUMC, paracipat.td. Several of

phatically remarked, that he swished it to be generally known,
that by the existing law any exposure of a person strewed with

Chancellor.
The House having resumed, the Report was order.'d to be
received to morrow, and the Bill, as amended, was ordered to
