Mr.. BUZZELL Of Belfast: Mr..
Speaker, wish to call the attention
of the House to the fact that on Feb
ruary 18th, one month and one day
ago, we passed an order in this
House limiting the time for the re-
ception of private and special legis- /.
lation, and as a sort of pastime ever
since then, from time to time. We
have introduced more or less of this
class of legislation, and 1t does seem
to me as if this House should draw
the line before very long and make
a halt in the matter of reception Of
this class of legislation.
