On the 9th of February, managers of the conference were appointed.
Those representing the House of Lords were the Lord Privy Seal, Earl
Waldegrave, Earl Saint Germans, Viscount Hawarden, Lord Bishop
of Hereford, Lord Beaumont, and Lord Monteagle of Brandon. The
managers representing the House of Commons were Sir George Grey,
Sir Robert Peel, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Mr. Herries, Mr. Wilson
Patten, Mr. Bernal, Sir John Yarde Buller, the Earl of Lincoln, Mr.
Attorney-General, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Mr. Thornely, Mr.
Maitland, Mr. Hume, Mr. Mackenzie, the Judge Advocate, and Sir John
Young.
Omitting other details, I come at once to the resolutions afterwards
adopted in both Houses.
“1. That, in lieu of being engrossed, every bill shall be
printed fair immediately after it shall have been passed in the
House in which it originated, and that such fair printed bill
shall be sent to the other House as the bill so passed, and
shall be dealt with by that House and its officers in the same
manner in which engrossed bills are now dealt with.
“2. That, when such bill shall have passed both Houses of
Parliament, it shall be fair printed by the Queen’s printer,
who shall furnish a fair print thereof on vellum to the House
of Lords before the royal assent, and likewise a duplicate of
such fair print, also on vellum.
“3. That one of such fair prints of each bill shall be duly
authenticated by the Clerk of the Parliaments, or other proper
officer of the House of Lords, as the bill to which both Houses
have agreed.
“4. That the royal assent shall be indorsed in the usual form
on such fair print so authenticated, which shall be deposited
in the Record Tower, in lieu of the present engrossment.
“5. That the copies promulgated in the first instance by the
Queen’s printer shall be impressions from the same form as the
deposited copy.
“6. That for the present session this arrangement shall not
apply to private bills, nor to local and personal bills, which
last mentioned bills, intended to be brought in this session,
have been for the most part already printed, in pursuance of
the standing orders of the House of Commons.
“7. That the Master of the Rolls shall, upon being duly
authorized in that behalf, receive, in lieu of the copies
of public general acts as now enrolled, the herein
before-mentioned duplicate fair print of each public general
bill, to be held for the same purposes and subject to the
same conditions for and upon which the enrolled acts are now
received and held by him.
