§ Order for Second Reading read; Motion made and Question proposed "That the Bill be now read a second time."
§ MR. M'MAHON moved as an Amendment that it be read a second time that day six months, alleging among other grounds that it was calculated to impose a very heavy and very unnecessary expense upon the county of Wexford.
§ Amendment proposed, To leave out the word "now," and at the end of the Ques- 1855 tion to add the words "upon this day six month."
§ Question proposed, That the word "now" stand part of the Question.
MR. FITZROYsaid, he was of opinion that this was a Bill which ought not to be sent before a Select Committee, because it appeared to him to embody the dangerous principle of repudiation.

§ MR. GROGANsaid, he would assent to the proposition of the hon. Member.
§ Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
§ Main Questions put, and agreed to.
