Stamp Duties Bill Reprinted With Amendments And Evidence Clause
The Stamp Duties Bill is reprinted with amendments allowing banker cheques to be negotiated within fifteen miles on adhesive stamps and admitting unstamped documents as evidence in criminal trials. A deputation to Lord Palmerston protested the Extra Metropolitan Improvement Bill, seeking exemptions for certain cemeteries and compensation for proprietors. The debate covered government interference with literary bodies and church disputes, plus parliamentary proceedings on military, bribery, and revenue bills.
