§ MR. WALPOLE moved the appointment of the following Gentlemen as the Committee for considering the petition of Sir, Willoughby Jones, Bart., M.P.:—Mr. Walpole, Mr. Attorney General, Sir Frederick Thesiger, Sir George Grey, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, Mr. George Turner, Mr. Bernal, Mr. Greene, Mr. Wrightson, and Sir William Heathcote.
1442§ LORD J. RUSSELLsaid, that he had no wish to oppose the Motion to any extent; but as the names included four Gentlemen learned in the law, who had expressed a strong opinion on the question to be submitted to consideration, he thought that the names of the Solicitor General and the hon. Member for Devonport, who had opposed the appointment of the Committee, should be added. He thought that this arrangement was only fair, and if it was not agreed to, he would not consider himself bound to abide by the report.
§ Committee, as originally proposed, was appointed.
§ House adjourned at half-past Bight o'clock till Thursday, the 3rd of February.
