HC Deb 24 April 1876 vol 228 cc1623-4

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed "That the Bill be now read a second time" [22nd March].—(Sir. Drummond Wolff.)

MR. WADDY moved that the Order be discharged, complaining that it was kept on the Paper night after night.

MR. RAIKES

said, that it would be wanting in courtesy to the hon. Member who had charge of the Bill to pass such a Motion in his absence.

MR. DODDS

pointed out that hon. Members were brought down night after night to watch this Bill, and though it might not be quite right to discharge the order on that occasion, if the same course were persisted in, he should certainly resort to such a Motion on a future occasion.

Motion, by leave, withdrawn.

Debate further adjourned till Thursday.
