§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. DODDS, in moving that this Bill be now read a second time, said, he understood that the clauses against which several hon. Members who had placed their names on the Paper and given Notice of opposition to on the second reading, were to be withdrawn from the Bill, and that the opposition would not, therefore, be pressed.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. Dodds.)
§ LORD CLAUD HAMILTONsaid, that was the case. On behalf of the Great Eastern Railway Company, he might state that the Company had undertaken to strike out all the clauses which had been objected to. He hoped, therefore, the Bill would be allowed to proceed.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed.
