§ MR. HANKEYasked the Secretary to the Treasury, If the Legacy of Pictures bequeathed to the Nation by Mr. Wynn Ellis has been accepted by the Trustees of the National Gallery; and, if so, when the Pictures will be open for public inspection?
§ MR. W. H. SMITH, in reply, said, that the legacy bequeathed by Mr. Wynn Ellis had been accepted by the Trustees 561 of the National Gallery, and the pictures would be exhibited to the public when the new rooms now in course of construction at the National Gallery were finished; but it would probably be some two or three months before the arrangement of the pictures, which the new building rendered necessary, would permit of their being shown.
