clause 36.

for the omission of this clause, but after the opinion which
the house had already expressed in reference to this bill,
and considering the lateness of the session, he would not
press the motion.
The O'DONOGHUE was of opinion that, as there was
such a thin attendance of Irish members (only about nine
being present), they ought not to proceed with a bill of such
importance. He concluded by moving that the chairman
report progress.

was agreed to.

as were clauses 38 and 39.

the provisions of the clause, which enabled a tenant to give
up a tenement when destroyed by fire, should be extended
to cases where the property was destroyed accidentally by
tempest or by water.
Mr. DBASY did not oppose the amendment, further
than that he considered it unnecessary, the terms " inevit-
able accident" meeting the views of the hon, and learned
member.
