§ MR. SPEAKERsaid, that the Lords had agreed to the Amendments in this Bill which this House had made in their Amendments, and did not insist on those to which this House had disagreed, but had made a consequential Amendment to which they desired the concurrence of this House.
§ Said consequential Amendment read by the Clerk at the Table.
§ SIR CHARLES ADDERLEYmoved that the House agree with the Lords in the said Amendment. The new clause ran in the same form as the clause relating to foreign-going vessels, its terms being only adapted to coasters.
§ MR. T. E. SMITHsaid, the clause appeared to him to be suited to attain the object in view.
§ MR. PLIMSOLLexpressed his satisfaction that the penalty attached to submerging a vessel below the load-line would be applicable to coasters as well as to foreign-going ships.
§ Motion agreed to.
