§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading, road.
§ LORD MACNAGHTEN, in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, explained that it reproduced an important provision which had been included in the Land Transfer Bill. That measure, as their Lordships would remember, was approved by them, but subsequently abandoned in "another place."
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read '2a"—(The Lord Macnaghten.)
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord HALSBURY)supported the Motion. His main feeling with respect to this Bill was that of a bereaved parent; for the j measure was in reality part of the Transfer Bill which he had. introduced in their Lordships' House earlier in the Session.
§ Motion agreed to; Bill read 2a accordingly, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Thursday next.
