HC Deb 12 August 1887 vol 319 c359

Order for Second Reading read.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)

I beg also to move the second reading of this Bill. It is a very small Colonial measure; but is important in this respect, that, in the first place, it deals with a defect in former Acts arising from the word commission. It will enable a Court of Appeal to be established in one Colony, where appeals can be heard from another Colony. It will enable a Court of Appeal to be set up in Queensland, where appeals from New Guinea can be heard.

Motion made, and Question, "That the Bill be now read a second time,"—(Sir Henry Holland,)—put, and agreed to.

Bill read a second time, and committed for To-morrow.
