§ (The Earl of Dunraven.)
§ SECOND READING.
§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading, read.
THE EARL OF DUNRAVEN, in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, said, the object of it was to enable the authorities, by the repeal of the Post Office Act of 1876, to permit newspapers which had been cut and stitched to pass through the Post Office as newspapers. At present there was an objection to that being done on the part of the Post Office. The provisions of the Bill would not extend to supplements of newspapers. The Bill had passed through 1088 the House of Commons without any alteration or opposition.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Earl of Dunraven.)
§ Motion agreed to; Bill read 2a accordingly, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House To-morrow.
