DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

said he understood that the Government were quite satisfied not to take any other business if they got the Scotch Education Bill.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)

said that by an arrangement which he thought was satisfactory to the House it was agreed to take these two Bills and these two alone after the Scotch Education Bill.

Bill reported, without Amendment; read the Third time, and passed.
