HC Deb 27 July 1870 vol 203 c1028

Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Question [22nd June], "That the Bill be now read a second time."

Question again proposed.

Debate resumed.

MR. EYKYN

said, that the result of discussions which had taken place outside the House was that the Corporation of London had withdrawn their opposition to the Bill, and, therefore, he apprehended that there would be no objection to the second reading. He congratulated the Corporation upon the public spirit they had exhibited in surrendering their jurisdiction over those who carried on the business of brokers in the City.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read a second time, and committed for To-morrow.
