§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. J. HOLMS, in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, said, it was to give the Government of the Island power to raise money by passenger duties for the purpose of repairing their harbours; and when he told the House that the Bill had the sanction of the people of the Island, and had also received the sanction of the Treasury, he did not imagine any opposition would be offered to the Motion.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. J. Holms.)
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for Thursday next.
