HC Deb 22 March 1888 vol 324 c149
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

said, after the statements made by the First Lord of the Treasury to-night in connection with the debate of the previous day, he did not feel himself justified as a private Member in keeping his Bill any longer on the Paper. But in moving that the Order for the second reading be discharged, he wished to be allowed to say that he would not allow that any responsibility rested upon himself and his friends; the responsibility must rest on the shoulders of the responsible Government of the country. He moved that the Order be discharged.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the order for the Second. Reading of the Bill be read and discharged."—(Mr. T. W. Russell.)

Question put, and agreed to.

Order discharged.

Bill withdrawn.
