HL Deb 04 June 1888 vol 326 c1006

Order of the Day for the Third Reading, read.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY

said, that his attention had been called to a criticism which appeared in the newspapers of that morning which complained that insufficient opportunity had been given for consideration and for the introduction of Amendments. Nothing could be further from his wish than a surprise, or the very thought of a surprise; and he therefore asked their Lordships' permission to postpone the third reading of the Bill till to-morrow week in order to give still further time.

Third Reading put off to Tuesday the 12th instant.
