Lords Sitting of 15 February 1895

Preamble
THE LORD CHANCELLORtook his seat on the Woolsack at a Quarter after Four of the clock.

NEW BILL.
THE EARL OF WEMYSSpresented a Bill, the object of which is to secure Uniformity in the granting of Licences for the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors, by way of renewal or transfer. The Bill, he explained, was drafted by the late Lord Bramwell, who prepared it because he was convinced that the present state of the law, as disclosed in a celebrated case heard in their Lordships House, was unsatisfactory and unjust. He trusted that a measure drafted by so eminent a lawyer and statesman would be favourably considered at the Second Reading stage.
Bill read 1a.
