§ MR. BUTTsaid, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is intended to act upon the Report of the Committee appointed under the Admiralty Minute of the 5th day of March, 1856, by issuing any Orders altering the present system of Lights for sailing vessels, in accordance with the recommendations of that Report, made to the Admiralty on the 26th day of March, 1856, and presented to the House on the 2lst day of July, 1857?
§ SIR CHARLES WOODsaid, that the subject was still under consideration by the Admiralty, but as an alteration in the existing Act of Parliament would be necessary to change the present system, no 2079 such orders as the hon. and learned Gentleman, alluded to had been issued.
