§ The CHAIRMAN of WAYS and MEANS (Mr. Whitley)I hope the House will be good enough to give assent to the four Motions on the Paper in my name. They refer to Private Bills which have been delayed not by any fault of the promoters, but by the action of the House itself, and I think it is only fair, therefore, that they should be given a chance of completion in another place.
§ Ordered, That, in the case of the Brentford Gas Bill, Standing Orders 84, 214, 215, and 239 be suspended, and that the Bill be now taken into consideration provided amended prints shall have been previously deposited.—[The Chairman of Ways and Means.]
§ Bill, as amended, accordingly considered.
§ Ordered, That Standing Orders 223 and 243 be suspended, and that the Bill be now read the third time.—[The Chairman of Ways and Means.]
