§ MR. J. C. STEVENSON (South Shields)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether he is now prepared 1024 to name a suitable day for the second reading of the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday Bill?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)I hope it will be in my power to ask the House to place Friday, the 14th instant, at the disposal of the hon. Gentleman; but perhaps the hon. Gentleman would be so good as to repeat his Question on a later day.
§ MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)asked, whether the right hon. Gentleman recollected the arrangements he had made in his favour for the same day?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHI have borne that question in mind; and I will endeavour to give an opportunity for the Motion in the hon. Gentleman's name.
§ MR. J. C. STEVENSONsaid, the arrangement was hardly suitable; but, at all events, he could not accept any later date than the 14th instant.
