BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
THE LORD PRIVY SEAL (THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY): My Lords, there is, as you are aware, no business on the Paper for our consideration, but your Lordships thought fit, at my instance last week, to have a meeting to-day, in case there might be any reason for sitting. There is no reason. I need not tell your Lordships that the situation continues to be very grave, and there is nothing more to be said for the moment. I will take this opportunity, if I am allowed, of saying that so long as the crisis lasts I propose that we should meet on Monday of each week. I think it is better not to have a long adjournment.
House adjourned at twenty minutes past four o'clock.
