§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERSir, I only accidentally happened to see my hon. Friend's Question a very few minutes before I came down to the House. I sent up to make inquiry at the Treasury, and I understand from what I was told that no such application has been received. If I find I am misinformed, I will inform my hon. Friend to-morrow.
