§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. MARJORIBANKS (Berwickshire)This Bill is simply to remove an anomaly in certain burghs in Scotland where a portion only of the Act of 1862 has been adopted, and a considerable part of the electors are omitted from the Municipal and County Council franchise. It is really an extension of the franchise.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. Marjoribanks.)
§ DR. TANNERAfter an assurance from a leader of our Party, which I unreservedly accept, I offer no objection.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Bill read a second time, and committed for to-morrow.
