§ MR. KIMBER (Wandsworth)I beg to ask the Postmaster General when he expects to be able to bring in the general Bill relating to telephones and telegraphs; and whether he is aware that progress in many important mercantile directions is being retarded by the want of legislation in the matter?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONI am not able to name the precise date for the introduction of this Bill, but I hope it will be introduced almost immediately.
