HC Deb 25 May 1881 vol 261 cc1277-8

(Mr. Inderwick, Mr. Howard, Sir Edmund Filmer, Mr. Duckham, Mr. Arthur Vivian, Mr. Thorold Royers.)

SECOND READING.

Order for Second Reading read.

MR. INDERWICK

said, that as the Bill which was now before the House dealt only with a portion of the question respecting the abolition of tithe in regard to agriculture in England, it was not his intention to proceed with it. A Committee was sitting upstairs discussing the whole question. He should not ask that the Bill be referred to the Committee, but that the Order should be discharged; and when the Committee had considered the matter he should ask permission to introduce a measure.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Order for the Second Reading be discharged."—(Mr. Inderwick.)

Motion agreed to.

Order discharged; Bill withdrawn.
