Clause 16, page 17, line 23, leave out ("guilty of an offence") and insert ("liable in the case of the first conviction to a fine not exceeding five pounds, and in the case of a second or subsequent conviction to a fine not exceeding ten pounds")
EARL RUSSELLMy Lords, the offences under this clause are regarded as less serious than many of the other offences under the Bill and a lower maximum penalty has been suggested. I beg to move that the Amendment be agreed to.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Earl Russell.)
