In reply to Mr. MUNDELLA (Sheffield, Brightside),

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.),

said, his object in putting down the Bill for the 5th of April was that he should then be able to name a day for the second reading. He was anxious to take the second reading as soon as possible, in order that the Bill might be referred to a Grand Committee.
