§ Order for Committee read.
§ MR. HIBBERTappealed to the House to allow this Bill to be considered in Committee. It was necessary that the Bill should go to the House of Lords on Monday; and he regretted to state that, owing to a misunderstanding which had occurred in connection with it, a considerable amount of time had been lost. The Bill had been before a Select Committee; and as its provisions had been accepted by all parties interested in it, he believed it would be disposed of in five minutes.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."—(Mr. Hibbert.)
§ SIR R. ASSHETON CROSSsaid, he coincided with the suggestion made by his hon. and gallant Friend (Sir Walter B. 141 Barttelot) that no more Business should be taken at that Sitting.
§ Question put.
§ The House divided:—Ayes 60; Noes 26: Majority 34.—(Div. List, No. 282.)
§ Bill considered in Committee, and reported, without Amendment; read the third time, and passed.
