§ THE MARQUESS OF RIPONI move that the House do now adjourn. I believe that the noble Duke opposite (the Duke of Northumberland) and others are anxious that I should now state what course it is intended to take with the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill. The intention of the Government is to move the Second Reading on Tuesday next, and the Bill will be in charge of Lord Tweed mouth.
§ THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLANDWill it be the first Order of the day?
§ THE MARQUESS OF RIPONI have not actually considered the Order, but as far as I know it will be.
§ THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLANDI only want to know whether it will be practically the first Order. It will not, I presume, be treated like the Tonnage Bill of last night.
§ THE MARQUESS OF RIPONI have every anticipation that there will be a long debate, and I will endeavour to give proper time for it.
§ House adjourned at twenty-five minutes before Nine o'clock, till To-morrow, a quarter past Four o'clock.
