§ Order for Third Heading read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the third time."
§ MR. HEALYsaid, so far this Bill had proceeded without the intervention of the Irish Party in the debates; but he could not, as an Irish Member, allow it to pass without a protest, and he intended to divide against this stage. He had not intervened, and would not do so now, except to offer a protest against the proposal to grant a loan of an immense amount to a bankrupt Power, while advances for desirable and necessary public works in Ireland were refused. Protesting against this disposal of public money, and that afterwards it might not be said that the Bill passed nemine contradicente, he should challenge the question, and take a division.
§ Question put.
§ The House divided:—Ayes 42; Noes 17: Majority 25.— (Div. List, No. 113.)
§ Bill read the third time, and passed.
