§ Considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§ MR. BIGGARasked if it was competent to leave out a portion of the Bill?
§ MR. BIGGARsaid, he objected to that portion referring to emigration.
§ MR. BIGGARThen I object to the whole thing.
§ MR. BIGGARsaid, he must insist upon his right to object.
THE CHAIRMANsaid, the effect of the hon. Member's opposition would be 1051 to postpone the consideration of the Arrears of Rent (Ireland) Bill.
§ MR. BIGGARFor that reason I will not oppose it, then.
§ In reply to Mr. CALLAN,
§ MR. TREVELYANsaid, that the Government did not intend that the Land Commissioner under the Arrears of Rent Bill should be a Judicial Commissioner.
§ MR. HEALYMay I take it as a fact that the Government have decided to support the emigration scheme of the hon. Member for Carnarvonshire (Mr. Rathbone), or a modification of it?
§ MR. TREVELYANI think the hon. Member is sufficiently clever to draw his own inference.
§ Resolved, That it is expedient to authorise the payment, out of moneys to he provided by Parliament, of the Salaries of any Officers who may he appointed under the provisions of any Act of the present Session for making provision respecting certain Arrears of Kent in Ireland; and also the payment, out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom, of any moneys which may he required, for the purpose of assisting Emigration from Ireland, and which sums, though primarily charged on the Irish Church Temporalities Fund, that Fund is insufficient to defray.
§ Resolution to be reported To-morrow.
§ House adjourned at one minute before Six o'clock.
