§ Considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee).
§ * MR. MURPHY (Dublin, St. Patrick's)I am afraid there are proposals in this Bill that have been made without sufficient inquiry and notice. I have no wish to stop the progress of the Bill altogether, but I think more inquiry is necessary as to its effect on steam trawling in Ireland, and in order to give opportunity for that I now beg to move to report Progress.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Chairman do now leave the Chair to make his Report to the House."
§ DR. TANNER (Cork County, Mid)I think, before this Motion is put, I may prevail upon my hon. Friend to consent to some little progress being made with the clauses. Of course, during my recent entertainment by Her Majesty's Government in Clonmel Gaol, I have not had opportunity of making myself acquainted with matters before the House as I could wish, but I understand that many Members of the parts to which I have the honour to belong have taken interest in this measure as concerning the fishing industry of our country, and I think we might make some progress with the clauses, at any rate, until any material point of difficulty arises. I confess I speak with some reserve in the absence of my right hon. Friend the Lord Mayor of Dublin, who has given some attention to this Bill.
§ Question put, and negatived.
§ Bill reported, without Amendment; to be read the third time on Monday next.
