THE EARL OF KIMBERLEYBefore the House adjourns, might I ask when it is proposed that the House shall rise for the Whitsuntide recess?
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYMy intention originally was to take the same day as the House of Commons, but as I am told that it will be impossible to send any Bills down to that House on that day, I have come to the conclusion that it is an unnecessary act of self-denial, and I think, therefore, we shall rise on the Thursday.
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYI hope I shall not be considered indecorous if I give as the date the day after Derby Day.
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYBut even the sacredness of that day would not permit us to sit upon a Wednesday, which is a thing we never do.
§ House adjourned at half-past Five of the clock, to Monday next, a quarter past Four of the clock.
