(Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Baxley, Mr. Akroyd, Mr. Leeman.)

[BILL 64.] CONSIDERED AS AMENDED.

Bill, as amended, considered.

MR. NEWDEGATE

said, the operation of this Bill would be to exempt all property held my charitable or religious societies from the operation of the Law of Mortmain. But no property was exempt unless duly enrolled, and this Bill exempted such property from the necessity of being enrolled, the object of enrolment being that it should be known by whom the property was held in Mortmain.

An hon. MEMBER said, he wished to ask, if the hon. Member was in order in discussing the Bill at that stage?

MR. SPEAKER

said, the hon. Member was not strictly in order in doing so.

Bill to be read the third time To-morrow.
