§ MR. ROEBUCK, seeing the Secretary for the Home Department in his place, although the noble Lord at the head of the Government was absent, wished to put a question to him regarding the 393 vote agreed to last night, by which 1,500,000l. were granted under the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill. He had thought from what the noble Member for London had said on a former day, that this measure was to proceed pari passu with the Irish Poor Law; and as the essence of the measure was money, he wished to know whether the vote of last night was a mere formal resolution not binding upon the House hereafter; or, in other words, whether the engagement entered into between the noble Lord and himself was to be infringed?
§ SIR G. GREYsaid, that the resolution of last night was merely a formal proceeding, necessary in all similar cases, in order that a clause might be introduced into the Bill which any Member might oppose if he saw reason to do so.
