§ Order for Third Reading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the third time."
§ MR. GREENWOOD moved that it be read a third time that day six months. If 373 locomotives wore allowed to travel over every kind of road without restriction, the greatest possible injury would result. Many of the roads of the country were exceedingly narrow, and the roads them selves were not calculated to stand the wear and tear of locomotive engines. The Bill was injurious, unnecessary, and calculated to do much injury to the general interests of the public. The ordinary-roads were wholly unfitted for engines of this kind, and from his experience by the working of a machine of the kind in his neighbourhood he was convinced of the utter inutility of them.
§ 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. Greenwood.)
§ Question, "That the word 'now' stand part of the Question," put, and agreed to.
§ Main Question put, and agreed to.
§ Bill read 3°; Verbal Amendment made.
§ Bill passed.
