§ Bill, as amended, considered.
§ Amendments made.
§ Ordered, That Standing Orders 223 and 243 be suspended (Queen's Consent signified).
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the third time."—(Sir Charles Forster.)
§ MR. J. E. ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushcliffe)Before this Bill passes beyond the control of the House, the House will do well to receive some assurance from the promoters that it does not in any way touch common lands. I should be the last to impose any obstacle in the 1062 way of the Bill passing; but considering what took place on the 11th of May last with respect to the Hayling Common, and that the House took the very strong step of refusing to confirm a Provisional Order, I think it is desirable we should know whether this Bill in any way touches, not only Hayling Common, but any other Common in the neighbourhood.
§ MR. KIMBER (Wandsworth)I have not received any instructions upon the point. Perhaps it would be well to put the Bill down for tomorrow.
§ MR. SPEAKERDoes the hon. Member oppose the third reading of the Bill?
§ MR. J. E. ELLISI do until that assurance is given.
§ Debate adjourned till Tomorrow.
