§ Order for Consideration, as amended, read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Order be discharged, and Bill withdrawn."—(Mr. A. Morley.)
§ MR. BARTLEYexpressed his regret at hearing that the Bill was not to be persevered with after it had proceeded so far. He and his friends desired to see some Amendment made to the existing law, but this Bill had been so altered that it was necessary it should be considered further. He did not know exactly why the Bill had been withdrawn, but he hoped the Postmaster General did not think that there was any cause on the Opposition side of the House for taking this course.
§ MR. A. MORLEYsaid, there were objections raised from gentlemen on the other side of the House which made it quite impossible to carry the Bill through this Session.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Order discharged.
§ Bill withdrawn.
