Order for Consideration, as amended, read.

Bill, as amended, considered.

MR. M'LAGAN (for Mr. J. W. BAR-CLAY)

proposed to amend Clause 6 by leaving out line 16 and inserting— Six days before each time the valuator appointed by the lessee to assess the damage inspects such grass for the purpose of estimating such damage.

Amendment proposed, In page 2, line 38, to leave out the words "harboured on the lands of the lessor," in order to insert the words "six days before the grass is inspected, for the purpose of having such damage valued,"—(Mr. M'Lagan,) —instead thereof.

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

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

said, in the absence of the hon. Member who had given Notice of the Amendment, he thought the House ought not to agree to it unless some explanation was given as to the object which was desired to be effected.

MR. M'LAGAN

said, of course if the Amendment was objected to, he would not press it, though personally he had no objection to it.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Bill to be read the third time To-morrow.
