HC Deb 09 April 1866 vol 182 c966

MR. CHILDERS moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the better maintenance of works executed under the Acts for the drainage of lands in Ireland. He said, that the law as it at present stood made ample provision for establishing drainage works, but was defective in those provisions which related to their maintenance. These defects would be obviated by the present measure.

Motion agreed to.

Bill to provide for the better maintenance of works executed under the Acts for the Drainage of Lands in Ireland, ordered to be brought in by Mr. CHILDERS and Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL for IRELAND.

Bill presented, and read the first time. [Bill 95.]
