§ On Question, Bill read 3a.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND (Lord ASHBOURNE)explained 926 that the Amendments which he had to move were placed on the Paper at the suggestion of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland. The first Amendment enabled the council of the society to nominate one of their body in the event of the president not being able to attend; and the second Amendment made a modification which he thought was important.
§
Amendments moved—
In page 2, to leave out Clause 5, and insert the following clauses—'In Section twelve of the Supreme Court of Judicature (Ireland) (No. 2) Act, 1897, the words "or such other member of the council of the society to be nominated for the purpose by the council" shall be inserted after the word "Ireland." In the Schedule to the Statute Law Revision Act, 1893, the words: "In Section seventy-two the words 'body or' shall be substituted for the following words relating to the Irish Bankrupt and Insolvent Act, 1857, namely, 'In Sections seventy-two to seventy-five the words 'body or' and the said Act of 1893 shall be read and construed as if the words so substituted had originally been enacted therein.'"—(Lord Ashbourne.)
