HC Deb 14 August 1894 vol 28 cc1082-3

Motion made, and Question proposed, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the Tramways and Public Companies (Ireland) Act, 1883."—(Sir J. T. Hibbert.)

DR. CLARK

objected to the Bill being brought in at that hour; it should be deferred to the commencement of the Sitting on Thursday.

MR. KNOX (Cavan, W.)

begged the hon. Member not to persist in his objection. It was a Bill introduced at the desire of Irish Members generally, not only of the Nationalist Party. Whoever the hon. Member had a grievance against it was clearly not against the Irish Members, and he should think twice and thrice before taking objection to the introduction without alleging a reason.

Objection withdrawn.

Motion agreed to.

Bill ordered to be brought in by Sir J. T. Hibbert, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. J. Morley.

Bill presented, and read first time. [Bill 359.]
