§ LORD ALFRED CHURCHILLsaid, he wished to ask the President of the Board of Trade, If it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to lay upon he table of the House a Bill regulating the powers of existing Electric Telegraph Companies over public roads?
§ MR. MILNER GIBSONreplied, that a Bill had been prepared; but inasmuch as there was no chance of discussing it during the present Session, there would be no utility in laying it on the Table at present, but it would be introduced early next Session.
