§ Bill considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)observed, that Clause 2, excluding Ireland from the Bill, having already been passed, he thought the hon. Member for Galway could not move his Amendment.
§ MR. T. P. O'CONNORsaid, he had facilitated the hon. and learned Gentleman very much in regard to this Bill, having removed his blocking Notice from the Paper; and in fairness he thought the hon. and learned Gentleman might have drawn his attention before.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)said, he quite acknowledged the courtesy of the hon. Member in taking off the block, and he should be sorry to interfere in any way with the hon. Member. The clause was now passed, and he thought the hon. Member's attention had been called to it.
THE CHAIRMANWithout the Instruction of the House the Committee has no power to extend this Bill to Ireland.
§ Bill reported, without Amendment; to be read the third time upon Monday next.
