HC Deb 24 July 1874 vol 221 c703

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Schedule I.

MR. BERESFORD HOPE

, moved as an Amendment, in page 2, line 5, to omit the words from "London" to the word "Middlesex" in line 8. The hon. Member said his reason for doing so was, that these tramways were generally objected to by the inhabitants of the metropolis.

Amendment proposed, in page 2, to leave out from the word "London," in line 5, to the word "Middlesex," in line 8.—(Mr. Beresford Hope.)

MR. A. MILLS

said, he had visited the locality, and saw no objection to the proposed extension.

MR. CAVENDISH BENTINCK

said, the tramways had been approved of by the local authorities, and a Committee of Parliament, and on those grounds he should oppose the Amendment.

Question put, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Schedule."

The Committee divided:—Ayes 90; Noes 8: Majority 82.

House resumed.

Bill reported, without further Amendment; to be read the third time upon Monday next.
