§ SIR WILFRID LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether it was true, as had been reported, that in the event of the Members of Parliament (Charges and Allegations) Bill being passed, the inquiry would not be commenced until the beginning of November?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)I have received no intimation at all, Sir, on that matter. If the Bill is passed, it will rest with the Judges themselves to settle what course they will take.
§ THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN (Mr. SEXTON) (Belfast, W.)asked, if it was true that Mr. Justice Day had resigned; and, if so, whom it was proposed to put in his place?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHI have no information upon that point.
