§ Read a second time, and committed.
§ MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)I do not think I need detain the House with any observations in moving my Instruction. The object of the Bill, which affects the tramways in South London, is to introduce a cheaper form of traction, and I think the House will agree with me it is desirable that advantage should be taken of the opportunity to try and get improved facilities for cheap travelling by the working classes. I understand that 567 the promoters of the Bill take no objection to the Instruction, and I trust that the House will assent to it. I beg to move.
§ Motion made, and Question, "That it be an Instruction to the Committee to consider whether it is desirable to insert a clause in the Bill amending the provisions for cheap fares for the labouring classes in the company's original Act by the insertion of penalties to secure the object of the provisions in respect of the number of cars to be run, the hours at which the cars shall run, and the maximum and minimum fares charged."—(Mr. Lough)—
§ put, and agreed to.
