§ MR. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire,) EifionI beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether there is now any objection to publish the results of the experiments conducted at Portsmouth on the boiler ex H.M.S. Polyphemus with induced and forced draught?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, EalingThe trial of the induced draught system is as yet incomplete, and it is undesirable to publish a single series of experiments on one boiler until the results obtained have been checked by further trials. Arrangements are now being made to carry out such further trials in a torpedo gunboat.
