HC Deb 06 August 1883 vol 282 cc1788-9

(Mr. Samuel Morley.)

[BILL 126.] COMMITTEE.

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Clauses 1 and 2 agreed to.

Clause 3 (No wages to be paid within publichouse. See 35 & 36 Vict. c. 76, s. 16, and 35 & 36 Vict. c. 77, s. 9).

MR. WARTON

said, it was quite true that, on account of what occurred on Saturday, he had not been able to put a block on the Bill. If he had been able, he should certainly, with respect to a Bill of this importance, have taken steps to prevent its being considered at an unreasonable hour in the morning. ["Go on!"] He maintained that it was extremely discourteous for hon. Gentlemen to assail him with shouts of "Go on" and he appealed to the Chairman to say whether hon. Gentlemen were really in Order?

THE CHAIRMAN

It is difficult to define what is discourteous at this time of the morning, when everyone is anxious to make progress.

MR. WARTON

declined to go on if he was to be insulted in this way.

Clause agreed to.

Remaining Clause agreed to.

Bill reported, without Amendment.

MR. SAMUEL MORLEY

said, they were all but unanimous upon the principle of the Bill; and he hoped the House would be good enough now to read it a third time.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the third time."—(Mr. Samuel Morley.)

MR. WARTON

protested against the Bill being hurried through the House in this way. ["Go on!"] The hon. Member for Stockton (Mr. Dodds) was always ready to insult him. In fact, it was not the first time that the hon. Member had used improper expressions in that House. He considered the hon. Gentleman extremely rude. He had been prevented making the observations he desired to make in Committee; and he, therefore, begged to move that the Bill be re-committed in respect of Clause 8.

Amendment proposed, to leave out the words "now read the third time," in order to add the word "re-committed." —(Mr. Warton.)

Question, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question," put, and agreed to.

Main Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read the third time, and passed, without Amendment.
