That the petitioners praying to be heard by themselves, their counsel, or agents, be heard against the Bill. That the Committee have power to send for persons, papers, and records, intimated that he would postpone the Motion till Tuesday next.

MR. JAMES LOWTHER (Kent, Thanet)

As the Ramsgate Order, to which no objection is taken, is included in this Bill, I strongly object to its being hung up.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL (South Tyrone)

I do not like to object, but if the Bill is delayed until Tuesday it may be too late for consideration in the House of Lords.

MR. SPEAKER

Under the Standing Order the Motion will go over until to-morrow.

MR. JAMES LOWTHER

I hope it will be taken to-morrow. There will be plenty of time in another place to raise any objection.
