§ Mr. CARR-GOMMasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Board of Customs received a petition from the watchers, dated 7th July last; and, if so, when a reply may be expected?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe answer is in the affirmative, but as the question raised in the petition is a somewhat complex one affecting other grades than the watchers, it is not possible to reply to it for some little time.
