§ Mr. Ewart moved the second reading of the players of interludes bill. He hoped that there would be no objection to the bill now passing this stage, the discussion being taken on going into committee.
Mr. M. Suttonhad no objection to offer to the suggestion of the hon. Member. He, however, could not give his assent to the bill as it now stood, though he was ready to admit that the state of the law was not very satisfactory, and he gave his consent to this proposition upon the understanding that the House should not be pledged to adopt the provisions of the bill as they now stood.
§ Bill read a second time.
