perience could suggest. He rep`ded to the specific objections
urged by Mr. Melina; Sir H. Cairns, and Sir F. Kelly. He
was not deterred, he said, from supporting the bill because
it contained what lawyers called a registration of assurances,
against which he had heard no real objection, except that
the landholders of England would not submit to it. But
he contended that such a so-called registration of assuran-
ces had been submitted to by them.
Mr. ROLT did not oppose the second reading of thebill,
but he strongly recommended that it should be referred to
a select committee. The bill differed widely from the
report of the royal commission, and the objections could
not be discussed with so much advantage in a committee
of the whole house as in a select committee.
Sir F. GOLPSMID drew attention to certain points in
the proposed plan which, he thought, required consideration.
Mr. DUNLOP made a few observations, and the bill
was read a second time.
Mr. ROLT, in moving the second reading of the Decla-
ration of Title Bill (likewise received from the Lords),
explained the object of the measure and its main provisions.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL made a few remarks
upon the bill, the second reading of which he did not oppose;
and, after a very short discussion, it was read a second time.
Mr. ROLT then moved that the Security of Purchasers
Bill (also sent from the other house) be read a second time,
explaining, as in the former case, its object and provisions.
This bill, after some observations by the SOLICITOR-
GENERAL, was read a second time.

short explanation from himself and a remark by Sir H .

The SOLIC ITOR.GENERAL moved the second read-
ing of the Assurances Registration (Ireland) Bill. He
stated what had been the legislation upon this subject up to
the present time ; the existing state of the registration ' •
the evils which the bill proposed to remedy (including the
heavy arrears), and the remedies themselves. The bill, he
said, had been very carefully prepared by the law advisers
of the Crown in Ireland, and he relieved it would be found
a very useful measure.
Mr. HASSARD objected to various matters of detail in
the bill, and urged the Government to refer it to a select
committee.
A discussion of some length ensued with reference chiefly
to the question whether the bill should go before a select
committee.
Mr. HENNESSY moved to defer the second reading for
three months.
This amendment was seconded by Mr. OSBORNE, who
said he looked with some suspicion at the bill, which was,
in his opt.t.e, p.militaly fitted for a select committee.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL consented to refer the
bill to a select committee, and the amendment being there-
upon withdrawn, the bill was read a second time, and ordered
to be referred to a select committee.
On the order for the third reading of the Highways Bill,
Mr. BARROW renewed his opposition to the bill, and
moved to defer the third reading for three months. -
Mr. FREELAND entered his emphatic and deliberate
protest against a bill which ran counter to the principle that
taxation and representation should go together.
Mr. H. BRUCE supported the bill from his experience
of the working of the Welsh Aot.
After some remarks by Sir B. LZIGHTON,
Sir 'a. GREY briefly replied to the objections suggested
by Mr. Barrow.
Mr. THOMPSON and Mr. G. HARDY spoke in favour of
the bill, which was opposed by Mr. NEWDEGATE. p
