HC Deb 03 March 1869 vol 194 cc556-7

In reply to Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH,

MR. AYRTON

said, it was proposed to put this Bill down for Monday instead of Thursday, but, if it should be found that it would be inconvenient to hon. Members to discuss it on that day, the Government would be prepared to consider any application on the subject. It was very desirable, however, that the House should proceed with the second reading as soon as possible.
