Mr. GUINNESS:

I beg to move, in page 25, line 21, at the beginning, to insert the words "Except as provided by paragraph (10) of this Schedule."

This Amendment and one which follows are related. They provide that the Commissioners can vary their place of meeting, not, as originally proposed by a two-thirds majority of the Commissioners, but by a two-thirds majority of the number present.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 26, leave out Paragraph (10), and insert instead thereof a new paragraph:

10. The meetings of the Commissioners shall be held at Sandwich unless the Commissioners decide, by a resolution passed by a two-thirds majority of their number present and voting thereon, that a particular meeting shall be held at some other place named therein.—[Mr. Guinness.]

Schedule, as amended, agreed to.

Schedules 2, 3 and 4 agreed to.

Bill reported; as amended in Committee and on re-committal, to be considered upon Monday next (20th July) and to be printed. [Bill 228.]
