HC Deb 07 April 1865 vol 178 cc887-8

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—[Mr. Gore Langton.)

MR. GREAVES

said, the Bill had already received its death-blow elsewhere. He moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months.

Amendment proposed, to leave out the word "now," and at the end of the Question to add the words "upon this day six months."—(Mr. Greaves.)

MR. GORE LANGTON

said, as his name was on this Bill, he had thought it right to move the second reading, but he had had no communication with the promoters, and therefore as the Bill was opposed he should not put the House to the trouble of a division.

Question, "That the word 'now' stand part of the Question," put, and negatived.

Words added. Main Question, as amended, put, and agreed to.

Bill put off for six months.
