§ House in Committee (according to Order).
LORD BALFOUR OF BURLEIGHsaid, he had some Amendments to which he hoped the noble Lord in charge of the Bill would agree, as he thought it unlikely that either in that House, or in another place any opposition would be offered to them. They were really to supply omissions per incuriam in the previous stages of the Bill.
LORD MONKSWELLsaid, he would deal with the Amendments on the Report stage if the noble Lord would withdraw them for the present.
§ On Motion, "That the Report be now received," Lord BALFOUR of BURLEIGH moved, in Clause 18, page 7, line 15, after ("nothing in") insert ("the foregoing part of").
§
Line 16, after Sub-section (d) insert—
(e.) In calculating the distance for all purposes of tolls and charges in respect of canned, tap mill forge and coal cinders, coal, coke, culm, and slack, the distance on the Churchbridge branch of the canal shall be taken as equal to one mile and a quarter.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Standing Committee negatived; and Bill to be read 3a on Thursday next.
