HC Deb 09 April 1875 vol 223 cc663-4

Order for Consideration, as amended, read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now taken into consideration."—(Mr. Ritchie.)

MR. WHALLEY

said, he would move the adjournment of the debate on the ground that they ought not to proceed with the Bill at that late hour (12.45). It was re-introducing a system of Saints' days into this country, and was an interference with the trade of the Kingdom.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the debate be now adjourned."—(Mr. Whalley.)

MR. E. J. REED

said, he took the same view, and should therefore support the Motion.

Question put, and agreed to.

Debate adjourned till Tuesday next.
