§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Earl of Belmore.)
§ LORD CRANWORTHsaid, that, in his opinion, the English Charity Commissioners did not receive the approbation which was due to them for their useful labours. They prevented a large amount of litigation, and performed a great sdeal of work most carefully 1063 and satisfactorily; and he had no doubt that if the same powers were conferred upon the Commissioners in Ireland, similar results would follow in that country.
§ Motion agreed to: Bill read 2a, and committed to a Committe of the Whole House on Monday next.
