§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Earl of Plymouth.)
§ LORD HASTINGSMy Lords, I do not know whether the noble Earl is justified in calling this consequential. I remember very well there was a strong feeling of distrust expressed in this House in the local authorities who, it was suspected, might succumb to the temptation to use these fences and posts for advertisement purposes. An Amendment was inserted in this House making it impossible to do so, and now this is excised.
§ THE EARL OF PLYMOUTHMy Lords, this is consequential on the acceptance of the last Amendment.
§ LORD HASTINGSI think that probably is so. I beg the noble Earl's pardon.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
