THIRD READINGS.

The following Bills were read a third time and
passed:—
British Electric Telegraph Company.
South Wales Railway (Alterations of Works).
BILSTON IMPROVEMENT, MARKET, WATER-
WORKS, AND CEMETERY BILL.

,
Upon the motion for reconsidering this Bill,
Mr. THORNELY moved the insertion of a clause.

Mr. 771La114PAITEN said the clause provided
that the cemetery should not be opened within 300 yards
of any house of 501. value. Now, if it was necessary to
protect houses of 501 value it was of equal importance to
protect houses of less value, and he should, therefore,
object to the clause, unless some explanation could be
given to justify its introduction.
Mr. THORNELY had been told that the standing
orders of the House of Lords required its insertion.
Their Lordships would not pass the Bill without it.
Mr. W. PATTEN said the sooner, then, that order
was rescinded the better.

Mr. THORNELY observed that smaller buildings
were pretected by the General Cemeteries Act.
Mr. MACKENZIE announced his intention to oppose
the clause, and ultimately it was withdrawn.
The Bill was then ordered to be engrossed.
