§ In reply to Mr. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.),
THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)said, that he hoped to take the Parliamentary Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (Salary) Bill and the Land Law (Ireland) (Land Commission) Bill on Monday next; but he would give a definite reply on Thursday.
§ MR. JOHN MORLEY (Newcastle-upon-Tyne)asked, in consequence of the answer of the Chief Secretary, Whether it was proposed to take the Excise Duties (Local Purposes) Bill before Thursday; because, if so, he thought there would be great inconvenience?
THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)said, he feared the Bill could not be taken before Thursday in next week; but he would shortly make a statement as to the order of Business?
