MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, When the Irish Law Officers reported on the Petition for the grant of a City Charter to Belfast; what is the cause of the delay in finally dealing with the Petition; and, when he expects to be able to announce the granting of the Charter?

THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

I have had no time to obtain information on this subject, the Question having only appeared on the Paper this morning.

MR. SEXTON

I will repeat the Question on Monday.
