§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Dr. Lyons.)
§ MR. R. N. FOWLERasked the hon. Member when he proposed to take the Committee stage? He believed this was a Bill very generally accepted, and that there was no opposition to its principle; but he, in common with many hon. Members, had received a number of papers, which seemed to indicate that to one clause in the Bill much exception was taken.
§ DR. LYONSsaid, this was not the Bill to which the hon. Gentleman referred—this was not the Bill affecting medical men. It was a Bill for a special purpose—for giving the Royal University of Ireland power to do that which its predecessor, the Queen's University, did—to nominate to the Medical Coun- 315 cil. It was a very simple Bill of one clause.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for To-morrow.
§ House adjourned at half after One o'clock.
