The Municipal Corporations (Metropolis) Bill [3]

30 JUNE, 1868

PD, 3rd ser., Vol. 193, col. 419. Reported in The Times, 1 July, p. 8. For the Bill, see No. 93. Mill opened the adjourned debate on the second reading.

mr. j. stuart mill appealed to the Secretary of State for India, by whom the adjournment of the debate had been moved on the former occasion,1 to proceed with his argument.

Sir Stafford Northcote said, that at that late hour he did not feel justified in launching the House upon a fresh discussion.

Mr. J. Stuart Mill then briefly replied to some of the arguments advanced in the course of the debate a few days since upon this Bill,2 expressing his regret that the measure, instead of being met with a direct negative by a private Member,3 had not been left for the consideration of the Government.

[The Bill was put off for three months, i.e., abandoned.]
