Abstract
IT has been determined that this question shall not be brought on in the House of Commons at this late period of the session, as so many members are already absent that it is possible the debate might fail somewhat to represent the actual feelings of the House. At the same time it is known that had the discussion come on some weeks ago, the Government, if they had ventured to support Mr. Ayrton, would have been beaten.
