§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)said, that this Bill was one which had met with considerable local opposition, and if any hon. Member wished to inquire into the circumstances of the case, he would find the subject a very intricate one. He would find that the Bill dealt with private rights of way in the county of Essex, close to the small town of Walthamstow. Several hon. Members sitting on that (the Opposition) side of the House had objected to the Bill time and again, as it was always brought on at an extremely late period of the Sitting. Seeing that the hour was now very late (12.5 a.m.), and that no discussion could take place upon this highly debateable subject, he hoped that the measure would not be gone on with to-night, but that it would be taken some other evening at an earlier hour.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY, WAR DEPARTMENT (Mr. BRODRICK) (Surrey, Guildford)As the hon. Member objects to the second reading, we will defer it till to-morrow.
