§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. CHANNING (Northampton, E.)said, that after the suggestion made the other night by the right hon. Gentleman the President of the Board of Trade, that this Bill should be read a second time and referred to the same Committee as the measure of the right hon. Gentleman, he hoped that no objection would be taken to the Second Reading. The Bill simply embodied the results of the Select Committee, and it had on the back of it names of hon. Gentlemen representing all sections of the House.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. Channing.)
§ SIR M. HICKS-BEACH (Bristol, W.)I approved of the Bill of the right hon. Gentleman, which was identical with my own recommendation, but this measure contains matters to which I cannot agree. I must object to the Second Reading being taken without Debate.
Objection being taken to Further Proceeding, the Debate stood adjourned.
Debate to be resumed To-morrow.
