§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (The Earl of HALSBURY)in moving the Second Reading of this Bill, said it was intended to meet the large and, he was sorry to say, increasing arrears of work in the Appeal Court by enabling the judges of the court to sit in three divisions, instead of in two divisions as the existing Appellate Juirsdiction Acts provided.
§ Bill read 2a (according to order); Committee negatived. Then (Standing Orders Nos. XXXIX. and XLV. having been suspended); Bill read 3a, and passed, and sent to the Commons.
