HC Deb 07 August 1876 vol 231 cc773-4

Lords' Amendments considered.

Amendments, as far as the Amendment in page 22, line 33, read a second time, and agreed to.

Page 22, line 33, after the word "situate," to insert the words but the provisions of this section shall not apply to any commons or waste lands whereon the rights of common are vested solely in the lord of the manor, the next Amendment, read a second time.

Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE

took objection to the Amendment, contending that all protection against illegal in closure would by it be taken away and the Bill reduced to a nullity. He would move that the House disagree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

Motion made, and Question put, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The House divided:—Ayes 47; Noes 18: Majority 29.

Subsequent Amendments agreed to.
