§ [SECOND READING.]
§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
*THE LORD BISHOP OF ST. ALBANSMy Lords, it is quite unnecessary for me to trouble your Lordships with any description of this Bill. It has been carried without opposition through your Lordships' House in two succeeding sessions, but stress of work in the other House prevented its becoming law. The only difference between this Bill and the one which I had the honour of introducing in previous sessions is that this Bill has been shorn of one clause which it was found possible to effect by Order in Council. If any explanation of the Bill is desired I shall be pleased to give it.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a"—(The Lord Bishop of St. Albans.)
§ On Question, Bill read 2a, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Monday next.
