HC Deb 28 August 1895 vol 36 c1112

Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Question [19th August], "That leave be given to bring in a Bill to continue various Expiring Laws":—

Question again proposed:—Debate resumed.

MR. T. M. HEALY

rose to speak, when—

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

appealed to the hon. and learned Member not to oppose the Bill at this stage. He was aware that there wore a number of Bills that must be continued, and there never had been a discussion on the first reading of the present Bill.

MR. T. M. HEALY

again rose to speak, when—

* MR. SPEAKER

interposing said the hon. Member had already spoken.

MR. T. M. HEALY

said, that he moved and carried a Motion for the adjournment of the Debate on a previous occasion, and was therefore entitled to speak again.

* MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member is quite right. I had forgotten that.

MR. T. M. HEALY

said, he only rose for the purpose of saying that, after the appeal made by the Attorney General, and notwithstanding the incident that had recently taken place he would not put the House to the trouble of a Division as he had originally intended to do.

Question put, and agreed to:—Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. Attorney General, Mr. Hanbury, and Mr. Jesse Ceilings; presented accordingly, and read the first time; to be read a second time upon Friday, and to be printed. [Bill No. 5.]

Whereupon Mr. Speaker, in pursuance of the Order of the House of the 19th August, adjourned the House without Question put.

House adjourned at Two o'clock.
