§ LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILLasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, 635 Whether, in consideration of the fact that the county magistrates have as yet had no opportunity of expressing their views as a body on the County Government Bill, he will consent to postpone taking the next stage of that measure until after the next Easter Quarter Sessions?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERSir, I am afraid it would be rather inconvenient to postpone the Order for proceeding with the measure; but I trust the magistrates will have had plenty of opportunities of considering it before Easter, and of forwarding their opinions to their Representatives in Parliament.
