§ Wine Privileges Abolition Bill.
§ Ordered, That the Report be referred to the Select Committee on Standing Orders.
§ Cardiff Railway Bill [Lords], As amended, to be considered To-morrow, at a quarter-past Eight of the clock.

2034§ Ordered, That Standing Orders 223 and 243 be suspended, and that the Bill be now read the third time.—[The Deputy-Chairman.]
§ King's Consent signified.
§ Bill read the third time, and passed, with Amendments.
§ Local Government Provisional Orders (No. 21) Bill, Ordered, That any further proceedings on the Local Government Provisional Orders (No. 21) Bill be suspended in order that the same Bill may be proceeded with in the next Session of Parliament.
§ That, with regard to the said Bill, the Order of Presentation in the present Session shall be read, and thereupon the Bill shall be read the first and a second time pro formâ, and the Order for referring the Bill to a Committee shall be dispensed with, and the Bill ordered to be read the third time.—[The Chairman of Ways and Means.]
§ Ordered, That this Order be a Standing Order of the House.
§ Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords to acquaint them therewith, and desire their concurrence.
§ Standing Orders (Private Business).
§ The CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Mr. Whitley)I have these two or three small Amendments of Standing Orders to propose to the House. None of them involve any matter of principle. The first one is merely consequential to the Pilotage Act of last year. The second one is purely a drafting Amendment; whilst the third and fourth are to alter the time at which notices shall be deposited in the Private Bill Office from Six o'clock to Five o'clock. This latter is a matter arising from the amalgamation of the Private Bill Office and the Bill Office which has been done for reasons of economy.
§ Part II.—Definitions read, and amended, in page 90, line 6, after the word "power," by inserting the words "The term Provisional Order includes Pilotage Order."
§ Standing Order 204 read, and amended, in line 6, by inserting after the word "Bills," the words "or of any Bill to confirm any Provisional Order or Provisional Certificate."
§ Standing Order 231 read, and amended, in line 2, by leaving out the word "six," and inserting the word "five."
2035§ Standing Order 247 read, and amended, in line 3, by leaving out the word "six," and inserting the word "five."—"[The Chairman of Ways and Means.]
