Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Clause 1.

(2.50.) DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

May I ask the Attorney General to be good enough to give us a short explanation of the Bill.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER, Isle of Wight)

The Bill is simply to supplement the Act of last year by removing certain difficulties which have arisen in its working.

DR. TANNER

Does the Bill apply to Malta?

SIR R. WEBSTER

It will not apply to Malta, because there is no Consulate there.

Clause 1, and remaining clauses, agreed to.

Bill reported; as amended, to be considered to-morrow.
