§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
THE EARL OF MORLEY,in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, said, it was a simple Consolidation Bill, 869 and was brought forward this Session, because it was thought that it would be far more convenient to refer to by those parties who might be concerned in the administration of the law than their having to refer to a great number of Acts of Parliament on the subject.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Earl of Morley.)
§ Motion agreed to; Bill read 2a accordingly; Committee negatived: Then Standing order No. XXXV. considered (according to order), and dispensed with: Bill read 3a, and passed.
