HC Deb 15 March 1880 vol 251 c1018
MR. E. JENKINS

Sir, the third Order of the Day on Wednesday is the Acrobatic Performances Bill, which is brought to an untimely end by a dangerous performance on the part of Her Majesty's Government. I wish to say, in withdrawing it, that although personally I shall not be able to bring it forward in the next Parliament, I hope it will be brought forward by some other hon. Member. As a large number of persons have been thrown out of employment by the introduction of the Bill, arrangements have been made to render it of such a character as will prevent its interfering with ordinary and legitimate acrobatic performances.

Bill withdrawn.
