§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. MONK,in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, said, it was the complement of the Act of last year, which had proved of great advantage to 652 this country. He had received letters from Dublin stating that many of the extortioners dealt with by that Act had found their occupation in England gone, and were making arrangements for transferring their operations to certain cities and large towns in Ireland. This Bill, he believed, had the approval of every Irish Member, and of the Chambers of Commerce in Ireland, and it would have the support of the Attorney General for Ireland.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. Monk.)
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for Monday next.
