HC Deb 06 December 1878 vol 243 c206

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

MR. BALFOUR moved— That the Chairman be directed to move the House, that leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the Burial Laws.

MR. BERESFORD HOPE

took that opportunity of giving Notice that, on the second reading of the Bill, and at any subsequent stage, he would give it every opposition in his power, as he believed it to be a measure eminently calculated to add infinite confusion to a question infinitely confounded already.

Motion agreed to.

Resolution reported;—Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. BALFOUR, Lord FRANCIS HERVEY, and Mr. WAIT.

Bill presented, and read the first time. [Bill 10.]
