§ SIR. JOHN HAYasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, When he proposed to introduce the Navy Estimates?
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEwished to know, What Business the Government would take after the completion of the Protection of Person and Property (Ireland) Bill?
MR. GLADSTONESir, I am bound to say that, however desirable it is to keep the House as well informed as I can, I do not think it would be of great advantage, until we are through Committee with the Protection of Person and Property (Ireland) Bill, to attempt to fix what we should take afterwards; but this I will say certainly, that we shall not propose to proceed with either the Army or Navy Estimates next week.
