of their services would be considered.

upwards of half an hour after the business had been die-

The Lords' amendments were considered.

additions and omissions which had originated with the
House of Lords.

Colonel DUNNE moved that the house do sot agree with
the Lords' amendments with respect to estuaries. If the
bill stood, in this respect, as amended by the Lords, its
value would be materially deteriorated.

Mr. M'MAIION called upon the Government to uphold
the bill as it stood on being sent up to the other house.
Mr. BRUCE upheld the clause, which, he said, more
strongly expressed the views of the Government upon the
matter than the clause set up.

adopt the bill in its present form.

tived without a division.
