§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)This is a non-contentious measure. On the 5th of February I asked the Chief Secretary if the Government would undertake the Bill. The reply was that the Government had no time, but that they would give any aid in their power to assist the Bill. In pursuance of that assurance I have brought in the Bill, and I presume the pledge given in February is still in force.
§ Motion made, and Question, "That the Bill be now read a second time,"—(Mr. Sexton,)—put, and agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for Thursday.
