Amendment made.

Sir SAMUEL EVANS moved to leave out

3 & 4 Vict. c. 61 … The Beerhouse Act, 1840 Section one, from "to any person" to "licensed nor shall any such licence be granted."

I move this as it has been represented to me that this alteration is necessary having regard to a previous alteration.

Mr. GEORGE CAVE

This is a rather serious Amendment to move at the last moment. I do not think anyone raised a point of Order.

Mr. SPEAKER

I raised a point of Order, on the ground that the repeal of this particular statute did not follow necessarily upon some enactment which

16 & 17 Vict. c. 51 … The Succession Duty Act, 1853 Section twenty-three, except as respects persons dying before the passing of this Act.
To leave out 57 & 58 Vict. c. 30. … The Finance Act, 1896 Sub-section (5) of Section seven, from "Provided that" to the end of the Subsection, and paragraph 5 of the First Schedule, except as respects property passing on the death of persons dying before the thirtieth day of April, nineteen hundred and nine.
To insert 59 & 60 Vict. c. 28 … The Finance Act, 1896 In Section twenty, the words from "and is settled" to "by different persons"; the words "by a person not competent to dispose of the same"; the words "or is in the possession of some person who is then competent to dispose of the same"; the words "and also the person being in possession and competent to dispose of the same"; and the words from "and in the case" to the end of the Section, except as respects persons dying before the thirtieth day of April, nineteen hundred and nine.—[Sir W. Robson.]
To leave out 2 Edw. 7, c. 28 … The Licensing Act, 1902 Section twenty-two.—[Sir Samuel Evans.]

Bill to be read the third time on Tuesday next (2nd November).
