§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ THE EARL OF DENBIGHMy Lords, this is a very short Bill, which was introduces at the request of the Royal Dublin Society and passed through the other House without opposition. The object of the Bill is to transfer the administration of a sum of £5,000—being part of the sums paid in respect of the Probate Duty Grant to the Local Taxation (Ireland) Account—expended annually for the improvement of the breed of horses and cattle in Ireland, from the Royal Dublin Society to the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland. This will prevent a considerable amount of overlapping which now takes place in the distribution of two grants of public money for the same purpose by two different Departments.
Bill read 2a (according to order), and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Thursday the 4th of December next.
