HC Deb 16 July 1857 vol 146 cc1576-7
MR. WATKIN

, who had given notice of a Resolution on the subject of railways in India, said he did not wish to detain the House from the important question before them—although he was prepared to show that if proper energy had been displayed railways might have been long since completed to the scenes of the recent mutiny; and if they had been it would have been crushed at once. With the permission of the House he would postpone his Resolution.

Motion made and Question proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."
