§ SIR DE LACY EVANS said, the Motion of the hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose for Parliamentary Reform embraced four different points, in favour of every one of which he had himself already voted; but he wished to ask whether the hon. Gentleman would have any objection so to bring forward the subject as to put each of those heads or points to the House successively—each, in fact, as a different and independent resolution? It was the wish of many hon. Gentlemen that the hon. Member would adopt this course, as being calculated to ensure better divisions upon each proposition separately than could be expected if the House were to divide upon them as members of one general proposition.
§ MR. HUME had well considered the subject, and as he believed that no practical reform could be effected unless all his propositions were carried, he meant to propose them at once in the same resolution. In the event of further progress being made in the matter, each proposition would be made the subject of a separate Bill.
