§ MR. BRIGHTsaid, he wished to put again a question to the Secretary of State fur India which he had asked him a few nights ago, namely, whether he is able to inform the House when he will bring forward the question of Indian Finance, and whether he has any objection to lay upon the Table the latest despatches which he has received from India on that subject? The noble Lord (Lord Stanley), who filled the office before the right hon. Baronet, had followed that course, and the House had been given to understand that it would, be followed out in future.
§ SIR CHARLES WOODsaid, that with regard to the latter part of the hon. Gentleman's Question he had laid upon the table within the last quarter of an hour the last despatches which he had received from India; and, with regard to the former part of the Question, he could not at present name the day on which he should be prepared to bring forward the subject of Indian Finance, as the general financial statement of his right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer must take precedence; when his right hon. Friend had made his statement, he (Sir Charles Wood) would make his statement on Indian finance at the earliest possible moment.
