HC Deb 23 July 1872 vol 212 c1673

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH

appealed to the hon. Member for York (Mr. Leeman) not to insist on the 6th clause. In that case he would assent to the passage of the Bill through Committee.

MR. HIBBERT

remarked that there was no chance of the Bill passing this Session unless Clause 6 were withdrawn.

MR. LEEMAN

, though extremely loth to part with the 6th clause, would withdraw it in order to insure the passing of the measure.

Bill reported; as amended, to be considered To-morrow.

And it being now Seven of the clock the House supended its Sitting.

The House resumed its Sitting at Nine of the clock.
