§ THE EARL OF CLARENDON moved, in subsection (1) (a), after "lease," to insert "exception." The noble Earl said: My Lords, there are two small Amendments which I must apologise to your Lordships for not having moved last Monday. They are purely drafting Amendments—in page 1, line 15, after "lease," to insert "exception," and in line 16, to leave out the first "restriction." The words appearing in the Bill are "reservation restriction," whereas 682 the word "exception" should be after "lease." I beg to move the first Amendment.
