§ SIR WILFRID LAWSONobserved, that this Bill was the second Order for this Sitting; but as the Representation of the People Bill was likely to occupy some hours, there would not be much time left before 7 o'clock for the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday (Ireland) Bill. He therefore suggested to the Prime Minister whether it would not be better to name another day for the Bill?
MR. GLADSTONEsaid, he quite agreed with the hon. Baronet that it was not worth while to keep a large number of Members in expectation of the Bill coming on at the fag-end of the Sitting; and, therefore, he would say at once that it should be deferred. The Medical Act Amendment Bill would, therefore, be taken after the Representation of the People Bill. Assuming that the Report stage of the Representation of the People Bill finished that morning, he should propose to take the third reading on Thursday next.
