HC Deb 14 July 1890 vol 346 c1692

On Motion for Adjournment.

(12.30.) MR. SEXTON

I wish to ask if the Government propose to take Wednesday next for Government business, and also whether it is a fact, as reported in the Press, that Lord Wolseley has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Ireland, in succession to Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar?

*THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir M. HICKS BEACH, Bristol, W.)

I have not information on either point.

MR. SEXTON

I beg to give notice that if such appointment is made I will call the attention of the House to it before the end of the Session.

DR. TANNER

I wish to ask whether the Government intend to make, or have made, any attempt to arrest the absconding Constable Palmer, as it now transpires that the steamer in which he travelled to New York has just arrived at that port?

House adjourned at half after Twelve o'clock.
