§
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. CLARKobjected 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§ Objection withdrawn.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.]
