HC Deb 30 May 1878 vol 240 c1032

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

MR. MACARTNEY

said, that this measure was one of great importance to Ireland. He had given Notice of two new clauses which it was his intention to move; but the Committee could not be expected to discuss them at that late hour. Moreover, the Irish Members had all left the House under the impression that the noble Lord who had charge of the Bill did not intend to bring it on. Under these circumstances, he hoped that the noble Lord would allow Progress to be reported.

SIR SYDNEY WATERLOW

also trusted that the Committee would agree to Progress being reported. He had two Amendments to bring forward which really touched the principle of the Bill.

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Tuesday next.
