ABSTRACT
On Tuesday, June 10th, Mr. Villiers moved for a committee of the whole House for the purpose of considering his resolutions for the abolition of all restrictions on the importation of foreign corn:—
“That the House resolve itself into a committee of the whole House, for the purpose of considering the following resolutions:—
“That the Corn Law restricts the supply of food, and prevents the free exchange of the products of labour.
“That it is, therefore, prejudicial to the welfare of the country, especially to that of the working classes, and has proved delusive to those for whose benefit the law was designed; and
“That it is expedient that all restrictions on corn should be now abolished.”
