HC Deb 22 May 1882 vol 269 cc1396-7

Order for Consideration, as amended, read.

MR. HEALY

said, he did not intend to offer any opposition to the Bill; but he submitted that it would have been better had the Amendments about to be moved been on the Paper.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)

pointed out that the only important Amendment was that which related to appeals. There had been an omission in not providing in the Bill for the appeal in cases from the Recorder's Court in Dublin; and it was therefore now proposed that the Court to which those appeals should be made should be the same as that which existed at present. The other three Amendments were formal.

MR. WARTON

rose to Order. He wished to know whether these Amendments ought not to be printed?

MR. SPEAKER

I observe, on looking at the Amendment upon the Paper handed in by the right hon. and learned Gentleman, that there is one new clause, if not more; I must therefore point out that these cannot be entertained by the House without Notice.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Debate be now adjourned."—(Mr. Arthur O'Connor.)

Motion agreed to.

Consideration, as amended, deferred till Thursday.
