HC Deb 13 May 1842 vol 63 cc481-2
An Hon. Member

moved that the Speaker do issue a writ for the election of a burgess to serve in Parliament for the borough of New-castle-under-Lyme, in the room of John Quincy Harris esq., whose election has been determined to be void.

Lord J. Russell

said, it was better the writ should be suspended until the evidence adduced before the committee was laid upon the Table.

The hon. Member

withdrew his motion, and moved that the minutes of the proceedings of the committee of the New-castle-under-Lyme Election Petition and of the evidence taken before them be laid before the House.—Agreed to
