§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord HERSCHELL), in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, said, that its provisions had been included in the Lunacy Bill of last year; but that they had been now placed in a separate measure in accordance with a desire which was generally entertained. The separation of the two subjects had met with general approval.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ Motion agreed to; Bill read 2a accordingly, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Tuesday next.
