§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. THOMAS CHAMBERSsaid, as he had explained the provisions of this measure so fully when he introduced it to the House last Session, he should not now be justified in going over the arguments by which this Bill had been for twenty years supported in this House. The House had over and over again expressed its approval of the measure; and inasmuch as the Bill was perfectly simple and single in its provisions, he had nothing to do, especially as the opponents of the measure had courteously informed him that they would not oppose this stage, but to move that the Bill be now read a second time.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. Thomas Chambers.)
§ MR. M'LARENsaid, that when the Bill went into Committee he would move that the words applying the now law to Scotland should be omitted.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for To-morrow.
