§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ THE ATTOENEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)said, he wished to move the second reading of the Bill. It was a purely technical measure, and the hon. Member for Mid Lincolnshire (Mr. E. Stanhope), who took an interest in it, had suggested that when it was read a second time it would be well to refer it to a Select Committee. He (the Attorney General) would be very pleased to accept that suggestion.

§ Motion agreed, to.
§ THE ATTOENEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)I now beg to move that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill committed to a Select Committee.
