§ MR. CARBUTTasked, considering the great interest felt in the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sundays Bill, which was talked out yesterday, when the Government would give facilities for a Saturday Sitting for the consideration of the Bill?
MR. GLADSTONE, in reply, said, that after the answer which he had been reluctantly obliged to give to the hon. Member for South Leicestersire (Mr. Pell) in regard to his Motion on the subject of local taxation, he was afraid that, to say the least of it, a considerable amount of jealousy would be created if he, on behalf of the Government, gave any sort of a promise that a Saturday Sitting would be devoted to making further progress with the Sunday Closing Bill.
