HC Deb 31 March 1887 vol 313 cc38-9

[ADJOURNED DEBATE.]

Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Consideration of Lords Amendments [29th March].

MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

I object to the third reading of this Bill.

THE JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL (Mr. MARRIOTT) (Brighton)

As there is likely to be some discussion upon this Bill, and as the Public Business which will come before the House this evening is of a very important nature, I wish to make an appeal to the hon. Member to allow the discussion to be postponed until a more convenient day.

MR. SEXTON

As the right hon. and learned Gentleman has appealed to me, I may say that I quite conceive that a prolonged discussion upon this Bill to-day would be inconvenient; and, therefore, I have no objection to the further adjournment of the debate.

MR. EWART (Belfast, N.)

I, also, concur with the propriety of the request which has been made to the hon. Member.

MR. SPEAKER

To what day is it proposed that the debate shall be adjourned?

MR. SEXTON

Until this day week.

Debate further adjourned till Thursday next.
