THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN (Mr. SEXTON) (Belfast, W.)

asked, what would be the effect of postponing the clause?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

said, that the Committee could not entertain a Money Clause until a Resolution had been set up. It would be set up to-morrow, and the clause would then be considered by the House. The House could not consider the matter until the Money Resolution had been set up in this way.

MR. SEXTON

asked, whether the clause would be considered to-morrow?

MR. W. H. SMITH

replied in the affirmative.

Question put, and agreed to.

Clause postponed.

Clauses 10, 12, 13, and 16 also postponed.

Remaining Clauses agreed to.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Chairman do report Progress, and ask leave to sit again."

MR. SEXTON

said, that before the Chairman left the Chair he should like to understand the exact position of the Bill. Could they take the Money Resolution in such order that it would be possible to dispose of that question and pass the third reading before the Adjournment?

THE CHAIRMAN

said, the Resolution, which would be agreed to to-morrow, would be reported on Monday. Then the clauses could be considered in Committee.

Question put, and agreed to.

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Monday next.
