HC Deb 12 November 1852 vol 123 cc142-3
MR. WALPOLE

said, he begged to give notice of his intention to bring in a Bill, which would require the suspension of all the Standing Orders, in order that it might pass through the House on Monday next. The object of the Bill would be to declare that the day appointed for the funeral of the Duke of Wellington should, as regards the payment of bills of exchange and promissory notes, be treated as the "Lord's-day," commonly called Sunday. From all he could hear, he believed that if some such provision were not made, great inconvenience would he experienced by the commercial and banking classes.

The House adjourned at Six o'clock.
