MR. GLADSTONEI was in hopes that we should have closed the Committee on the Representation of the People Bill on Tuesday, so as to be able to take the Report stage to-day. I understand it is not unlikely that it may not require the whole of this evening's Sitting. In that case we shall proceed with the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill. If the whole of this evening's Sitting should be occupied with the Committee on the Representation of the People Bill, the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill would stand as first Order for to-morrow; but supposing the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill to be disposed of to-night, we should then propose to place the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday (Ireland) Bill, which has been waiting for some time, as the first Order for to-morrow, and we should put down the Law of Evidence in Criminal Cases Bill as the second Order, and the Elections (Hours of Poll) Bill as the third.
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEWhen is it proposed to take the Report of the Representation of the People Bill?
MR. GLADSTONEI may say at once that I feel we could not fairly ask the House to take it to-morrow; and we shall, therefore, put down the Report stage of the Representation of the People Bill for Monday.
