§ Order for Second Reading road.
§ MR. AYRTONsaid, there would be no objection to the Bill passing that stage if it were understood that it must be materially altered in Committee by striking out a clause which provided that the Treasury should give compensation to some gentlemen who performed local functions. He would suggest that the hon. Member in charge of the Bill should communicate with the hon. Member for Durham, and arrange with him what was to be done.
MR. BENTINCKsaid, he should be glad to do so, and to take the second reading on the understanding mentioned.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for Monday next.
