§ Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Question [27th February], "That the Bill be now read a second time."
§ Question again proposed.
§ Debate resumed.
§ Amendment proposed, to leave out the word "now," and at the end of the Question to add the words, "upon this day six months."—(Mr. Creyke.)
1599§ Question proposed, "That the word 'now' stand part of the Question."
§ MR. CHAMBERLAIN, in moving, as a further Amendment, "That the Debate be further adjourned until Tuesday next," said, he would suggest to his hon. Friend the Member for York (Mr. Creyke) that that would be the best course to take. He was aware that the Bill was opposed on another ground than that of an alteration of rates—namely, on the ground of interference with the navigation of the Humber; but as it was one of the Bills which contained a proposal for an alteration of rates on agricultural manures, it would be for the convenience of the House that the second reading should be postponed until that day week, when the objection raised to the Bill by his hon. Friend on the other point could be taken at the same time.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Debate be further adjourned till Tuesday next."—(Mr. Chamberlain.)
§ MR. CREYKEsaid, he fully assented to the course proposed by the right hon. Gentleman, and would withdraw his Amendment.
§ Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Debate further adjourned till Tuesday next.
