§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. WHALLEYsaid, he would move the second reading of the Bill, the purport of which was to reduce the cost of application to Parliament in the case of minor Railway Bills.
§ MR. MILNER GIBSONsaid, that it was impossible to consider the subject fully that Session, but it would be dealt with early in the next Session, when the recommendation of the Committee which had recently reported on the subject would be taken into consideration. He hoped the hon. Member would withdraw the Bill.
§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHremarked, that it was not creditable that a large portion of the expenditure of the House should be paid for by fees on private Bills.
