§ Sir GEORGE CAMPBELLasked, Whether the Government seriously proposed to press forward any Scotch Bills, and, if so, when?
Mr. ASSHETON CROSSsaid, it was not the intention of the Government to proceed with the Ecclesiastical Assessments (Scotland) Bill or the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Bill before Whitsuntide, and it would be a convenience to him, as well as to other hon. Members, if he could say on what day afterwards they would be taken. He hoped some of the Scotch Bills would become law.
§ Mr. J. R. YORKEinquired whether the Government intended to take a Morning Sitting to-morrow in order to facilitate the despatch of Public Business before the holidays.
§ Mr. DISRAELI, in reply, said, there was an important Motion, that of the hon. Member for the Border Burghs (Mr. Trevelyan), on the Paper for tomorrow, and he did not think it would be consistent with his duty to prevent it coming on at the usual time.
