HC Deb 07 July 1884 vol 290 cc372-3

Bill, as amended, further considered.

Amendment again proposed, In Schedule 6, to leave out the words "a Tramway and Light Railway from Athy (county Kildare) to Crettyard Bridge (Queen's county)."—(Mr. Biggar.)

Question proposed, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Schedule."

MR. HEALY

asked, as a matter of practice, how this Bill got set up, because it was counted out the other night. He did not wish to offer any opposition to the Bill, but merely to point out that the Bill was counted out on Thursday night, and that there was another count out on Friday night. As he understood the practice of the House a Bill was to be set up by Motion; and, therefore, he was extremely anxious to know how the Motion to set up this Bill was made, and whether an hon. Member would be in Order in going to the Clerk and asking him to put up a Bill? When the House was counted out on the Revision of Jurors and Voters Lists (Dublin County) Bill a Motion had to be made to get it set up again.

MR. SPEAKER

A Motion to set up this Bill was made on Friday before the Orders of the Day were read.

MR. HEALY

Then it was set up on Motion?

MR. SPEAKER

On Motion.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill re-committed in respect of Clause 2; considered in Committee, and reported; as amended, considered.

COLONEL COLTHURST

moved that the Bill be now read the third time.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the third time."—(Colonel Colthurst.)

MR. HEALY

I wish to ask you, Mr. Speaker, whether, as a matter of fact, you did not object to a proposal to read the Revision of Jurors and Voters Lists (Dublin County) Bill a third time the same night as it had been considered?

MR. SPEAKER

It is a matter for the allowance of the House. If the House wishes to allow a Bill to be read a third time the House can do so.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read the third time, and passed.
