Resolution read a Second time.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth agree with the Committee in the said Resolution."

Mr. RAWLINSON

I should just like to offer a protest against all these Votes going through in this fashion, and particularly in respect to the Vote with which we are now busy. On this we ought to have been able to have a discussion on the question of Irish finance, and as to the proper authorities in relation to it, and so on. I protest strongly that the Front Bench are dealing with the matter in this way.
