HC Deb 23 July 1879 vol 248 cc1145-6
MR. ELLIOT

, in moving that the Order for Second Reading be read and discharged, said, he did so on account of the comprehensive character of the measure as affecting the whole of the unenfranchised householders in all the cities and boroughs in England and Wales, and the utter impossibility of a Bill comprehending such grave details being adequately discussed at that late period of the Session.

Motion agreed to.

Order for Second Reading read, and discharged; Bill withdrawn.
