up reasons for not agreeing to all the amendments
OF the commons-they prepared reasons which
wore presented ON Saturday the 9Th of Scptcm-
when the motion made for their adoption, as
follows:

position Of the noble duke, it having been deter
mined on by Your lord>hips that the amendments
which have been made by you shall be insisted
upon; but at the same time must say, having
declined to agree 10 the amendments when they
were proposed, II cannot be supposed that adopt
the reasons; have only now to repeat, m, lords,
that still maintain my opinion of the opposition
which your ordships have manifested 10 the bill,
and cannot help thinking that the proceedings Of
your lordships may he attended with consequences
which we all may have 10 regret"

amendments of the lo,ds.
