Excerpt from Speech of the Right Hon. Sir; James Mackintosh: Member of Parliament for Knaresborough, on the Second Reading of the Bill, to Amend the Representation of the People in England and Wales, on Monday, the 4th of July, 1831
Lord John Russell moved the Second Reading of the Bill for reforming the Representation of the People in England and Wales, and Sir John Walsh having moved, as an Amendment, that this Bill be read a second time this day six months, which Amendment was seconded by Mr. Fynes Clinton, Sir James Mackintosh spoke to the following effect.
Mr. Speaker,
I feel no surprize, and, certainly, no regret, at the applause which followed the speech of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, whose speeches never leave any unpleasant impression, but the reflection, that he speaks so seldom. Much of that excellent speech so immediately bears on the whole question of Parliamentary Reform, that it will naturally lead me to the consideration of the general principle of the Bill before us.
