HC Deb 19 June 1893 vol 13 cc1426-7

Order for Second Reading read.

Objection being taken,

* SIR R. TEMPLE (Surrey, Kingston)

expressed a hope that the opposition would be withdrawn. The Bill was a simple one. It extended to fishermen certain advantages as to the acquisition of cottages enjoyed by labourers, and surely it ought not to be opposed. These advantages had been already given to the labourers by several Acts of Parliament. The argument extended equally to fishermen; and the Bill aimed at giving a small though just advantage to industrious men known as Englishmen who had travelled on the Irish Coast.

MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORT

I object.

Second Reading deferred till Tomorrow.
