§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 3a."
THE EARL OF BESSBOROUGH,in moving—
That the Bill be not read a third time unless the clauses relating to running powers be previously expunged,said, the clauses in question would operate injuriously to the Great Western Railway. Company, on whose behalf he asked their Lordships to amend the Bill.
THE EARL OF DONOUGHMOREsaid, he felt bound to defend the action of the Committee, who had inserted these clauses in the public interest. The case 1153 of the Great Western Railway Company had been fully heard and considered.
§ On Question, "That the Bill be road 3a?" Resolved in the affirmative; Bill read 3a accordingly; and passed, and sent to the Commons.
