§ THE ACTING CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (Lord BALFOUR OF BURLEIGH):My Lords, with regard to the Motion standing in my name, to dispense with the Order made on 14th March to the effect that no private Bill brought from the House of Commons should be read a second time after 16th June, I beg to say that I have examined the case for this suspension in regard to these two Bills, and I have come to the conclusion that it is fair that this indulgence should be given, as the delay has not occurred in either case through the fault of the promoters.
Moved, "That the order made on the 14th clay of March last, That no private Bill brought from the House of Commons shall be read a second time after the 16th day of June next,' be dispensed with, and that the Bills be now read 2a."—(Lord Balfour of Burleigh.)
On Question, agreed to. Bills Read 2a accordingly and committed: the Committees to be proposed by the Committee of Selection.
