Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Butt be another Member of the Committee."—(Mr. Assheton Cross.)

MAJOR NOLAN

very much regretted to say that the hon. and learned Member for Limerick (Mr. Butt) was not likely to be well enough to attend the Committee for some time.

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

said, in that case, he had no objection to the substitution of another person in the place of the hon. and learned Member for Limerick.

Question put, and negatived. MR. SULLIVAN, and Mr. ADAM nominated other Members of the said Committee:—Power to send for persons, papers, and records; Five to be the quorum.—(Mr. Assheton Cross.)

House adjourned at a quarter after One o'clock.
