§ Read a second time, and committed.
§ MR. WHITLEY (Halifax)said the Instruction he had placed on the Paper in regard to this Bill referred to the same matter as his proposal in reference to the previous Bill. If he could get a similar assurance from the promoters of this Bill he would not press his Motion. Meanwhile he begged to move.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That it be an Instruction to the Committee to whom the Bill is referred that they limit the provisions of Clause 22 to omnibuses, coaches, cars, and other road vehicles conveying persons, luggage, parcels, and goods to and from the company's railway stations."—(Mr. Whitiey.)
§ SIR CHARLES RENSHAW (Renfrew, W.)said there was no direct representative of the Midland Railway Company present, but he would suggest to the hon. Member for Halifax that he should allow the Bill to go forward on the same understanding as had been given in the case of the former Bill, namely, that an opportunity should be given of discussing the question.
§ Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
