§ The following Instruction stood on the Paper in the name of Mr. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick's):—"That it be an Instruction to the Committee, that no preferential rates shall be given to foreign produce carried over the lines controlled by this Company."
§ *MR. SPEAKERThe Instruction which stands in the name of the hon. Member for the St. Patrick's Division of Dublin is not in order. As I said the other day, in regard to other Instructions on the same Bill, it deals with a matter which affects railways generally, and therefore it cannot be dealt with on a private Bill which does not raise the question.
§ MR. FIELDOf course, Sir, I do not dispute your ruling, but I wish to point out that I am prepared to furnish evidence showing that this particular railway company is acting contrary to the spirit of the Hallway Act. I wish to know what opportunity will be afforded to the House to deal with this particular point.
§ *MR. SPEAKERI cannot assist the hon. Member.
