§ [SECOND READING.]
§ Order of the day for Second Reading read.
THE LORD CHANCELLORThis Bill is produced with the utmost brevity 1445 my Lords, because all the clauses have already received the sanction of this House in former Bills. The real purpose of the Bill is to extend the administrative powers under the Lunacy Act, 1890, with regard to the estates of lunatics and other matters. I beg to move that the Bill be read a second time.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, agreed to. Bill read 2a, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House to-morrow.
