§ MR. JACKSI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, having regard to his declaration a few weeks before Easter, that if the Railway Companies did not arrive at a satisfactory arrangement with the traders before Easter, he would take prompt and stringent measures against them, and to the disastrous effects upon trade of the present increases, he can see his way to bring in some measure or take some more effective step than the appointment of a Committee to prevent the charging of any increase over the old rate until the new Schedules have been arranged and approved of?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI think it is better that the subject should be considered by the Committee of the House, and that any action which it may be hereafter necessary to take should be taken on their recommendation and Report.
