HC Deb 20 May 1886 vol 305 c1516

Order for Second Reading read.

MR. JOHN WILSON (Edinburgh, Central)

I have given Notice of a Motion to oppose the second reading of this Bill on behalf of two interests. In the first place, on behalf of the inhabitants of Edinburgh, who have certain rights over the common land at Leith; and, secondly, on behalf of the Commissioners of Leith Harbour. I have been informed that the representatives of Edinburgh have now arranged their differences with the promoters of the Bill; and, as the other question with the Harbour Commissioners is one which may be easily settled in Committee, I beg to withdraw my opposition to the Bill.

MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member does not oppose the second reading?

MR. JOHN WILSON

No; I beg to withdraw the opposition.

Bill read a second time, and committed.
