    The Earl of MANSFIELD

    My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 1 to 3 en bloc. These are drafting amendments which delete unnecessary words. It is unnecessary to have an offence of giving a false name and address when it is an offence under the clause for a suspect or witness to fail to give "his" name and address when required to do so. I beg to move.

    Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—( The Earl of Mansfield.)

    On Question, Motion agreed to.
