MR. TCITE (Westmeath, N.)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in reference to the favourable reply given by him on the 26th of last August, with regard to the Writers' Saturday half-holiday, it was his intention that such alternate Saturday half-holiday should commence from the date of his reply?
§ THE SECRETARY TO IHE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.No, Sir; the alternate Saturday half-holiday to copyists was not intended to be given until provision should have been made by order in Council for the grant of the same privilege to clerks of the second division.
