§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI beg to move, in page 88, line 9, to leave out the words "with or without, hard labour."

§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI beg to move, in page 88, line 38, to leave out the word "previously," and to insert instead thereof the words:

The words that we propose to insert provide that neither of these two alternatives need be adopted if the document is, in fact, returned to the owner.
