§ COLONEL KINGSCOTEasked the Secretary to the Treasury, When the Dean Forest and Hundred of Saint Briavel's Bill will be printed; and, if he will allow a sufficient time between the publication and the Second Reading for its consideration by the inhabitants of the district interested in it?
§ MR. COURTNEYI am sorry that I cannot name the day when this Bill will be printed; but I can readily undertake that ample time shall be given between its publication and the second reading to enable it to be fully considered. As my hon. and gallant Friend is probably aware, the object of the Bill is to effect a settlement of conflicting interests which now impede the working of deep seams of coal in the Forest; and the Bill, when presented, will be offered rather as a scheme embodying equitable principles of settlement than as one to be rigidly maintained in all its details.
