HC Deb 09 May 1882 vol 269 c375

Order for Committee read.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)

, in rising to move that the House should go into Committee on the Bill, said, he proposed that, as a matter of form, Progress should be immediately reported, and that the Bill should not be brought on again without Notice.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."—(Mr. Attorney General.)

SIR R. ASSHETON CROSS

said, he had no objection to the Bill going into Committee at once, provided that due Notice were given of the intention to bring the Bill on again, and provided it would be brought on at a reasonable hour, so as to give time for discussion.

MR. CHILDERS

said, he thought the suggestion very fair, and he could assure the right hon. Gentleman that the Bill should not be brought on again without due Notice, nor after 12 o'clock.

MR. THOMAS COLLINS

said, he hoped the Government would not proceed a further stage in Committee with this Bill, without first dealing with the Disfranchisement Bill.

Motion agreed to.

Bill considered in Committee.

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Monday next.
