HC Deb 05 March 1890 vol 342 c60

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Clause 1.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Clause 1 stand part of the Bill."

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin University

I rise for the purpose of moving to report Progress, not with the view to opposing the Bill, but to enable hon. Members to put down certain Amendments.

Dr. TANNER

I agree to the proposition of the hon. and learned Gentleman, though I would point out that this Bill has been in the hands of hon. Members for the past fortnight.

MR. MADDEN

The Session is still young.

Dr. TANNER

Inasmuch as I have complained about hon. Members not seeing these Bills, which are brought forward in a crude hasty way, of course I will offer no opposition to the Motion.

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Monday next.
