Commander Galbraith

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

Perhaps it would be convenient to take this proposed new Clause with the Amendments in page 74, lines 6 and 22. This new Clause amalgamates the existing Clauses 65 and 66.

Question put, and agreed to.—[Special Entry.]
