HC Deb 12 May 1862 vol 166 cc1598-9

Resolution, £116,695, Science and Art Department, reported.

MR. BARROW

took occasion to ask why the Highway Bill had been so frequently postponed. The evidence taken before the Select Committee had now been ordered to be printed, though it was understood, when the Committee was appointed, that no evidence was to be taken.

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, that no evidence had been taken, and it was the proceedings of the Committee, not evidence, that had been ordered to be printed. The Bill stood for Thursday, but he did not think it could be brought on then; and, if 80, Monday next would be the first opportunity for considering it, though other pressing business might prevent its discussion on that night.

Resolution agreed to.

House adjourned at half after Eleven o'clock.
