  5. (e) This Act shall apply to offences under such of the provisions of the Coal Mines Regulation Acts, 1887 to 1908, as are unrepealed by this Act in like manner as if they were offences against this Act, and expressions in those provisions shall have the same meaning as in this Act.

Mr. GEORGE GREENWOOD

I beg to move, in the first paragraph, after the word "the" ["the Schedule"], to insert the word "fourth."

The word "fourth" has been omitted, and the Clause as it stands reads, "The enactments mentioned in the Schedule." It should be "the Fourth' Schedule."

Mr. MASTERMAN

I accept the Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.
