§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)The state of affairs in regard to this matter is this. The Letters Patent have received the approval of His Majesty, and the Great Seal will, it is expected, be affixed to them in the course of this week. We hope to lay them on the Table of this House on Monday, and they will be published on Wednesday.
