§ THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY)My Lords, before we adjourn this afternoon, I might say that I find it will be for the convenience of your Lordships to have a sitting on Wednesday of next week as well as on Tuesday, because of certain formal business which the Lord Chairman has in hand. Otherwise, the only definite business for consideration is the Second Reading of the Bill of which the noble and learned Viscount on the Woolsack has just moved the First Reading, and which is set down for Tuesday. I beg to move that, except for Judicial business, the House do adjourn till Tuesday next.
§ EARL BEAUCHAMPMy Lords, I have consulted my noble friend Viscount Grey, and I understand that the arrangement suggested will be perfectly convenient to him.
§ Moved accordingly, and on Question, Motion agreed to.
