General GASCOYNE presented a Petition from
certain Ship-owners of Liverpool, on the subject of
the Timber Trade, which he wished to press on the
attention of the President of the Board of Trade,
and of the Representatives for Ireland. The Hon.
General then remarked on the inconvenience arising
to trade from the present uncertainty on the subject.
Mr. WALLACE said, the Committee of the Board
was fully aware of the inconvenience complained of,
and as anxious as the Hon. General himself for its
removal. The Committee had made considerable

sary to extend the law as it at present existed.
After a few words from Sir J. NEWPORT, the Petition
was.referred to the Committee on Foreign Trade.

to the Timber Trade now on the table, should be re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Trade. ;Agreed to.
