§ MR. B. SAMUELSONasked Mr. Attorney General, When he will lay upon the Table the promised statement showing the number of Patents prolonged by the Privy Council in each year since 1870? He also desired to ask what were the intentions of the Government with reference to the Patents for Inventions Bill?
§ The ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir JOHN HOLKER)I have obtained the statement referred to; and I will take steps to lay it on the Table of the House to-morrow. I hope to be able to pass the Patents for Inventions Bill this Session; and if the House would only allow the measure to be read a second time, I think I could agree to every Amendment which has been proposed.
