§ Read a second time, and committed.
§ MR LOUGH (Islington, W.)I have to ask the House to agree to an Instruction on this Bill similar to one already passed in regard to other Tramway Bills. The clause in this measure regarding the provision of cheap fares for the working classes is very bad; only one car is to be run, and that at an inconvenient hour, and the fares are by no means right. The Instruction has been agreed to by the promoters, and I hope the House will offer no objection to it.
§ Ordered, That it be an Instruction to the Committee on the Christchurch, 1300 Bournemouth, and Winton Tramways Bill to consider whether it is desirable to amend Clause 42 (Cheap fares for labouring classes) by inserting penalties to secure the objects of the Clause, and as to the number of the cars to be provided, the hours at which the cars shall run, and the maximum and minimum fares to be charged.—(Mr. Lough.)
