Resolution agreed to.

The remaining Orders were read, and postponed.

Whereupon Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER, pursuant to the Order of the House of the 13th February, proposed the Question, "That this House do now adjourn."

Mr. KING

I do not see the Solicitor-General for Ireland in his place. I understood he was to be here in order to give information about a matter on which the hon. Member for the Harbour Division of Dublin (Mr. Byrne) had approached him, namely, the conditions in Belfast Gaol, where, it is understood, there is a very serious outbreak of the prevailing epidemic, where there are over 100 prisoners suffering, and there is a great lack of accommodation such as is necessary. I do not know whether any Minister has anything to tell us. If not, I will raise it again To-morrow.

Adjourned accordingly at Two minutes after Eleven o'clock.
