§ Order of the Pay for the Second Reading read.
THE EARL OF JERSEY, in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, said, that its object was to enable the Sanitary Authorities to make certain improvements in private streets and to charge the cost to the owners. The measure contained provisions which would secure the protection of the private owners.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Earl of Jersey.)
§ LORD HALSBURYsaid, he thought that many of the provisions of the measure were objectionable, and that their Lordships would be taking a great responsibility upon themselves if they were to pass it at this period of the Session, when it was impossible that it could receive due consideration.
§ LORD SUDELEY (for the Local Government Board)said, that Department had carefully considered the measure, and they were of opinion that it ought to be allowed to pass.
§ Motion agreed to; Bill read 2a accordingly, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House To-morrow.
