HC Deb 15 June 1898 vol 59 c328

"Page 2, line 40, leave out from 'mentioned' to end of clause."—(Mr. T. M. Healy.)

AN HONOURABLE MEMBER

I beg to move the Amendment standing in the name of the honourable Member for Louth. I understand that the Government have agreed to accept it, and I congratulate them on a satisfactory settlement of the question.

I am pleased, therefore, to be able to accept the Amendment.

MR. SERJEANT HEMPHILL (Tyrone, N.)

I had a similar Amendment to this on the Paper, which, of course, under the circumstances, it is not necessary for me to move.

Motion made, and question put— That the Bill be read a third time.
