§ SIR T. ESMONDEI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what reply has been made to the Petition of the Excise officers sent in May last to the Board of Inland Revenue for transmission to the Treasury?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. GORST,) ChathamI must ask the hon. Member if he will put off this question, as I have not had an opportunity of conferring with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on this subject.
