§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading, read.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORThis is a Bill which comes from the Commons. It is understood that arrangements have been made for vacancies occurring in the Middlesex Registry. Practically the Bill is to drive into the coffers of the State certain revenue received at the Registry. It has come up from the Commons without Amendment, and the question I have to ask your Lordships is simply whether it should now be read a second time.
Bill read 2a (according to order), and committed to a Committee of the Whole House to-morrow.
§ House adjourned at five minutes past Five o'clock, till to-morrow, a quarter past Ten o'clock.
