§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. Meldon.)
§ MAJOR NOLANasked for some explanation of its provisions.
§ MR. MELDONsaid, the Bill was a very simple one, and the reason for its introduction was that doubts had arisen in Ireland with regard to the validity of certain deeds executed by married women. Some years ago, similar doubts existed in England, and an Act was passed to set the question at rest. This Bill merely extended to Ireland the provisions of the Act already in existence in England.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for To-morrow.
