§ Sir SAMUEL EVANS moved to amend the extent of repeal in the case of the Inland Revenue Act, 1880. The Schedule, as it stood, provided for the repeal of "Sections 40 to 45," and the Amendment was to repeal "Sections 40 to 42; Section 43, except Sub-section (7); and Sections 44 and 45."
§ Mr. MOONEYThe Member for North Dublin (Mr. Clancy) has an Amendment on the Paper relating to this Section. It is quite true that the Solicitor-General's Amendment is practically the same, but I think he has omitted Section 41. Under this Amendment, Section 41 will still be an operative Section, and I think he must amend the Amendment by inserting the words "forty-one."
§ Mr. T. M. HEALYAs my Amendment cannot be moved, I think I ought to call attention to this extraordinary tax. It is 2160 really too bad that the public in Dublin should be worse by 10s. than the public in any other part of the country.
§ Sir SAMUEL EVANSThe question put by the hon. and learned Gentleman does not arise. Whether "Section 41" ought to be inserted or not I am not sure at the present moment, but perhaps the hon. Member will allow me to consider it on Report.
§ Mr. MOONEYI would suggest that the words should run "Sections 40, 41, 42," and so on.
§ Sir SAMUEL EVANSIf my Amendment is carried, Sections 40 to 42 will be repealed, and that will include Section 41. But I will look into the matter.
§ Mr. T. M. HEALYWill the learned Solicitor-General take the opportunity now of telling us how the law with regard to Ireland stands?
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Question proposed, "That the Schedule, as amended, be the Sixth Schedule of the Bill."
2161§ Sir FREDERICK BANBURYI wish to express a hope that, as one of the Acts to be repealed is an Act for the encouragement of trade, and as we on this side are in favour of the encouragement of trade,

§ The CHAIRMAN (referring to Amendments on the Paper in relation to the Preamble):
2162§ my hon. Friends will divide against the Schedule.
§ The Committee divided: Ayes, 150; Noes, 39.
§ What has been thought to be a Preamble is not a Preamble. The paragraph 2163 is composed of enacting words, the form of which has been adopted for many-years, and my predecessors in this Chair have ruled that they cannot be amended.
§ Bill reported; as amended, to be considered upon Tuesday, 19th October.
