HC Deb 27 July 1885 vol 300 c207

Order for Committee read.

MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

said, he wished to know what was meant by the title of this Bill? There was a reference in the title to "India and the Colonies;" but there was no allusion whatever to India in the body of the Bill itself, which was unlimited in its scope.

SIR FARRER HERSCHELL

said, the explanation was that it was only in India and the Colonies that evidence could be taken by Commission.

Bill considered in Committee, and reported, without Amendment; read the third time, and passed.
