§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND (Lord ASHBOURNE)My Lords, this Bill is the counterpart of a Bill that was brought in and passed last year to deal with cases in some parts of Ireland where there was special distress that required the relaxation of the Outdoor Relief Act. The Bill sanctions the administration for a short period of a special relief by boards of guardians with the approval of the Local Government Board for Ireland, and I beg to move that the Bill be read a second time.
§ Question put.
