§ Provisional Order Bills [Lords] (Standing Orders applicable thereto complied with),—Mr. SPEAKER laid upon the Table Report from one of the Examiners of Petitions for Private Bills, That, in the case of the following Bills, brought from the Lords, and referred on the First Reading thereof, the Standing Orders which are applicable thereto have been complied with, namely:—
§ Electric Lighting Provisional Orders (No. 6) Bill [Lords].
§ Electric Lighting Provisional Order (No. 7) Bill [Lords].
§ Ordered, That the Bills be read a second time To-morrow.
§ North Eastern Railway Bill [Lords],
§ To be read the third time To-morrow.
§ Arundell Estate (Closing of Arundell Street and Panton Square) Bill [Lords],
§ Central London Railway Bill [Lords],
§ Edinburgh Corporation Bill [Lords],
§ Grays and Tilbury Gas Bill [Lords],
§ As amended, to be considered Tomorrow.
§ Bournemouth Gas and Water Bill (by Order),
§ Order read for consideration of Lords Amendments.
§ Mr. JAMES HOGGEI object.
§ Mr. SPEAKERIf the hon. Member has any real objection to the Bill he is entitled to make it; but if he is only objecting because he objects to some other public Bill, it is rather hard on the promoters, for every time a Bill is objected to and has to be put down again it involves a considerable amount of expense.
§ Mr. HOGGEI was on the Committee which considered this Bill, and the Lords 1828 inserted a condition which we wanted to keep out.
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is all right. Of course, if the hon. Member has any real objection he is entitled to make it.
§ Consideration of Lords Amendments deferred till to-morrow (Wednesday).
§ Great Northern Railway Bill (by Order),
§ Order read for consideration of Lords Amendments.
§ Mr. MARTINI object.
§ Mr. SPEAKERI again make the same appeal to the hon. Member who has objected to this Bill. Of course, if he has a real objection he is entitled to make it. But if he is only objecting to it because of his objection to some public Bill, it is really hardly fair to do so because of the additional expenses in which it involves the promoters.
