HL Deb 20 May 1887 vol 315 c646

In answer to The Earl of KIMBEKLEY,

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

said, the House would adjourn on Monday next, subject to certain formal Business from the House of Commons; but, practically, it would be on Monday; and it was proposed to meet again on Thursday, the 9th of June. He was aware that it was usual to meet on a Friday; but as they never did much on the first day except to put down Notices for other days, he thought they might utilize the 9th for that purpose.

House adjourned during pleasure.

House resumed.

The Lord KINTORE chosen Speaker in the absence of the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Commissioners.
