ARMY SCHOOLS BILL.—(No. 83.)

  SECOND READING.
  Order of the Day for the Second Reading, read.
  THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Earl BROWNLOW): My Lords, the object of this Bill is to place Army schools on the same footing as the public elementary schools, with regard to certain charitable endowments and scholarships. It has the concurrence of the Charity Commissioners, and has already passed the other House. I trust your Lordships will give it a Second Reading.
  Bill read 2a (according to order), and committed to a Committee of the Whole House to-morrow.

  PUBLIC BODIES (PROVISIONAL ORDERS) BILL. (No. 74.)
  House in Committee (according to order); Bill reported without Amendment; and re-committed to the Standing Committee.
  MIDDLESEX REGISTRY BILL.—(No. 87.)
  Read 3a (according to order), and passed.

  ELECTORAL DISABILITIES REMOVAL BILL.—(No. 85.)
  House in Committee (according to order).
  THE LORD CHANCELLOR: My Lords, as this is a Bill with the details of which I do not think I need trouble your Lordships, I will simply state that it is for the removal of disqualifications of which I believe everybody disapproves. I do not think there are any details in it which your Lordships would consider need be mentioned.
  Bill reported without Amendment; Standing Committee negatived; and Bill to be read 3a to-morrow.
  House adjourned at twenty-five minutes before Five o'clock, till To-morrow, a quarter past Ten o'clock.
