§ Mr. SPEAKER laid upon the Table Report from one of the Examiners of Petitions for Private Bills, That, in the case of the following Bill, referred on the
552§ given out of public funds to establish a school at one place, it is futile to call that a temporary experiment. It is certain that the scheme will eventually become a permanent one. While I regret that the noble Marquess cannot give me any further satisfaction with regard to the spending of the money, I am grateful that at any rate an inquiry will be held into the matter.
§ On Question, their Lordships divided:— Content, 24; Not-Contents, 30.
§ First Reading thereof, Standing Order 63 has been complied with, viz.:— Seaham Gas Bill.
§ Ordered, That the Bill be read a second time.
