HC Deb 23 April 1879 vol 245 c960

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Major O' Gorman.)

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. GIBSON)

pointed out that the Bill had not been issued, and he objected to the second reading until they were in possession of the objects of the measure. He suggested that the second reading should be adjourned If, however, the hon. and gallant Member persisted in his Motion, he should move the adjournment of the debate.

SIR JOSEPH M'KENNA

said, the Bill had come on him by surprise, and he therefore thought he should be consulted.

It being a quarter of an hour before Six of the clock, the Debate stood adjourned till To-morrow.
