§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. H. H. FOWLER, in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, explained that the object of the measure was to supply several omissions in the Act of last Session. In that Act several points had not been dealt with. They had been left over, owing to pressure of Business, until they could be thoroughly considered; and it was proposed now to deal with them in this Bill. He would suggest that the Bill should be read a second time, and then referred to a strong Select Committee, in order that it should be fully and carefully considered before being submitted to the House.
