§ [Second Reading.]
§ Order of the day for the Second Reading read.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (the Earl of HALSBURY)explained that this was a measure to codify the law relating to marine insurance. The Bill also contained several Amendments of a technical nature, which he did not imagine their Lordships would wish to discuss. The Bill was a very desirable one, and he trusted the House would give it a Second Reading.
Bill read 2a (according to order), and committed to a Committee of the Whole House tomorrow.
