§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. Mundella.)
MR. DICK-PEDDIEsaid, he did not wish to oppose the second reading of the Bill, but desired that the Committee stage should be put down for such a date as to allow the school boards of Scotland time to consider it.
§ MR. MUNDELLAI did not say anything in moving the second reading, because the Bill has been discussed already. It was thoroughly discussed on the second reading of the Bill of the hon. Member for Wigtonshire (Sir Herbert Maxwell), and the clauses contained in this Bill were agreed to by all the Scotch Members who addressed the House on that occasion. I will fix the next stage for a convenient day.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for Monday next.
