LORD DEN1VIANMy Lords, this is one of those Bills which make an annual appearance at this time of the year. Its object is to put the Public Works Loan Commissioners and the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland in funds for the exercise of their various lending powers for the present financial year. There is no unusual feature in the Bill, so I trust your Lordships will give it a Second Reading.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 2a.—(Lord Denman.)
§ On Question, Bill read 2a, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Tuesday next.
