§ In Moving the Second Reading of this Bill,
§ THE EARL OF CHESTERFIELDsaid, that it was a non-contentious measure, which had passed through all its stages in another place. The Receiver had certain statutory duties to perform, and at present there was no power to appoint a substitute for him in case of his absence from ill-health or any other cause. Serious inconvenience had arisen from this state of things; and the Bill would give power to the Secretary of State to appoint a temporary substitute for the Receiver.
§ Bill read 2a.
