§ MR. HOPWOODsaid, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, When the Bronze Coinage will be issued?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, that owing to the casual absence of the Master of the Mint in the country, he was unable to answer the question with certainty, but he had no doubt that in the course of a day or two he should be able to give the hon. Gentleman the information which he desired. The hon. Gentleman was probably aware that the delay which had arisen was referable to a mysterious secret of art.
