HC Deb 08 August 1855 vol 139 c2020

Order for Committee read.

House in Committee.

MR. HORSMAN

said, the Government were willing to yield to a suggestion made by hon. Gentlemen opposite, and to limit the continuance of the Bill to the 1st of July next, instead of the 31st of August.

COLONEL DUNNE

said, the Act had never been really applicable to any portion of Ireland. It was imposed upon districts in which no outrage bad ever been committed. To pass year after year a strong measure of that kind was not the way to prevent disorder in Ireland.

The House resumed.

Bill reported, with Amendments.
