§ COLONEL FRENCHsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, When Mr. Bateman's Report on the state of the River Shannon is to be laid before the House?
MR. PEELsaid, in reply, that Mr. Bateman's Report upon the state of the Shannon had not yet been delivered, and that it was probable some time would elapse before it was ready. When it was sent in, it would, of course, be laid on the table.
