§ 11. Lord C. BERESFORDasked if any trials have been carried out by His Majesty's ship "Conqueror"; and, if so, with what result; whether her gun-mountings have proved satisfactory; and, if not, when will they be in working order?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe gun trials of the "Conqueror" were carried out on the 17th June last. Owing to the gun-mountings being of a novel design it was found necessary as the result of the trials to make some modifications. These are practically complete.
