HC Deb 12 November 1902 vol 114 c856

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

[Mr. J. W. LOWTHER (Cumberland, Penrith), in the Chair.]

Clause 1:—

Motion made, and Question proposed "That Clause 1 stand part of the Bill."

MR. CALDWELL (Lanarkshire, Mid)

moved that Progress be reported.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (MR. J. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.

asked the hon. Member not to press his Motion. This was a most useful Bill, and only repealed an old Irish Act of George II.

MR. CALDWELL

said that that might be so, but it took away the security which the people of Ireland had under that old Act. He insisted upon Progress being reported.

Committee report Progress; to sit again Tomorrow.

MR. SPEAKER, in pursuance of the Order of the House of the 16th October last, adjourned the House without Question put.

Adjourned at twenty minutes after twelve o'clock.
