§ Order for Committee read.
§ MR. WARTONsaid, he had opposed this Bill for some time, having done so for the reasons he had already stated. He had had some scruple as to whether, in some cases, compensation should not be given to the owners of the burial grounds. He had doubted, and he doubted still, whether it was not an evil for a man to own a burial ground at all. If it was not wrong, he had thought that at least compensation should be given. Looking at the fact that public scandals occurred in this matter, and seeing that the hon. Member for Brighton (Mr. Hollond) held a strong opinion upon it, he had thought it right to waive his doubts.
§ Bill considered in Committee, and reported; as amended, considered.
252§ MR. J. R. HOLLONDI hope that, considering the simple character of the measure and the lateness of the Session, the House will allow me to take the remaining stages of the Bill now.
§ Bill read the third time, and passed.
