HC Deb 18 May 1893 vol 12 cc1353-4

Order for Third Reading read.

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

COLONEL HOWARD VINCENT

objected.

SIR ALBERT ROLLIT

would ask the hon. Member to allow this Bill to go through. There was a manifest feeling in the House the previous night that the Bill should be allowed to pass, because the English Bill had been helped by Irish Members. He would point out that this Bill was merely to assimilate the law of the two countries, and if they wanted to keep them united they ought to allow them to have the same laws.

MR. MARJORIBANKS

said, he would ask the hon. Member to put off the Bill for a few days, as the Irish Office had some Amendments to put down.

Third Reading deferred till Tuesday, 6th June.

MR. BARTLEY

said, he would draw attention to the fact that this Bill in its present stage was really opposed by Her Majesty's Government.

MR. T. M. HEALY

No, no!
