§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he will be prepared, during the present Session, to inform the House of the names of the gentlemen to be appointed to inquire into the state of crab and lobster fisheries on the coasts of the United Kingdom; whether the same staff of Commissioners will be appointed to inquire on all the coasts of the United Kingdom; and, whether their inquiries will be held in open Court?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, it had not yet been decided whether the inquiry would be completed in its present form, or whether a fresh inquiry would be instituted before the end of the Session. He believed that all such inquiries were held in open Court.
