HL Deb 08 August 1889 vol 339 c713

Order of the day for the Third Reading read.

LORD BALFOUR

I ask your Lordships' permission to withdraw this Bill. I move that the order for the Third Reading be discharged, and that the Bill be not further proceeded with, because the only two clauses of which it is composed have been incorporated with another Bill, which is now passing through your Lordships' House. That has been done for the purpose of avoiding that more than one Bill amending the same Act should pass through in the same Session.

Order for Third Reading discharged, and Bill (by leave of the House) withdrawn.
