§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. HASTINGSsaid, he believed there was no opposition in any quarter to the Bill. Its object was simply to give to Quarter Sessions the same power as to detached or semi-detached portions of their counties, in regard to cattle disease, that they had possessed for a quarter of a century with regard to police. 1203 The names of five county Members were on the back of the Bill, and county Members, he believed, were unanimous in supporting it.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed, for Thursday.
