Mr. BOOTH

In view of the early adjournment, I have not been able to put a Motion down to reduce the salary of the First Commissioner of Works, but I shall take an opportunity to-morrow of supporting one of my hon. Friends, if he chooses to move that reduction; and, unless I get a satisfactory reply from a substantial Minister, of going to a Division.

Question put, and agreed to.

Adjourned accordingly at Twenty-four minutes after Three o'clock till to-morrow (Thursday), at a Quarter before Three o'clock.
