§ Mr. Humeregretted that his right hon. Friend had not stated, what was the ob- 534 ject of the committee, and what was the result that he wished to arrive at. He had attended every day that the committee met last year, and he could not tell what they intended to do. He understood the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not yet prepared to make a statement on the subject, but it was one with respect to which the greatest interest was felt out of doors. He hoped, that the first opportunity would be taken by his right hon. Friend, when the evidence had been extended so far, that he could see his way, of bringing the whole question before the House.
§ Committee re-appointed.
