HC Deb 13 March 1883 vol 277 c350

Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Question [27th February], "That the Bill be now read a second time."

Question again proposed.

Debate resumed.

MR. HICKS

said, there was a Notice standing on the Paper in his name, for the postponement of the second reading until that day six months. That Notice was given in order to protect the agricultural interest from any increase of tolls on artificial manures; but after taking into consideration the new Standing Order passed yesterday, he wished to withdraw his opposition to the Bill.

Qustion put, and agreed to.

Bill read a second time, and committed.
