HC Deb 22 February 1893 vol 9 cc153-4

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."

MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)

said, he did not object to the Bill, but he should like to know what its object was.

MR. ELLIOT (York, N.R., Richmond)

said, it was to enable common jurors to have the same remuneration for their trouble as other juror. He did not see why common jurors, who were often much poorer men than the other jurors, should not have the same remuneration.

MR. ASQUITH

I understand the remuneration is to be paid by the parties to the proceedings?

MR. ELLIOT

Yes.

MR. ASQUITH

That being so I do not object.

SIR M. H. BEACH

Do I understand that the right hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary assents to the Bill?

MR. ASQUITH

I see no objection to it whatever.

Motion agreed to.

Bill read a second time, and committed for To-morrow.
