§ COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, In what state the Wet Dock of Galway is at present; and, if this dock is under the entire control of the Board of Works; and, if so, when it will be fit to receive ships.
§ THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)The dock at Galway alluded to is not under the entire control of the Board of Works, whose position in regard to the harbour is that of receivers of the tolls. I learn, however, that new gates have been constructed, under the supervision of the engineer of the Harbour Commissioners, to replace those which were destroyed; and that engineer considers that the dock will be in working order in about two months.
