§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(The Earl of Mayo)
§ MR. COGANobjected to the Bill being read a second time at so late an hour, and without explanation.
THE EARL OF MAYOsaid, he thought that the right hon. Gentleman was rather unreasonable. The Bill was a hybrid Bill, and notices had been duly given in the Irish papers. Its objects were to make better provision for the preservation of the Curragh, and to appoint a Commission to ascertain the rights of the parties interested.
