HC Deb 11 August 1859 vol 155 cc1350-1
MR. NEWDEGATE

said, he would take that opportunity of calling the attention of the House to the business on the paper. At twenty minutes to six yesterday he asked the hon. Member for Salford (Mr. Massey) when the Charitable Trusts Continuance Bill would come on, and he replied, the first thing to-morrow. He (Mr. Newdegate) then asked, what time the House would meet, and the answer was, 2 o'clock. Now, to day he found no less than three Orders of the Day were placed before the one he had mentioned, and he thought the Government ought to abide by the underetanding come to yesterday, and take the Charitable Trusts Continuance Bill, as promised yesterday.

SIR GEORGE LEWIS

said, the hon. Gentleman bad raised an unnecessary difficulty, for although the Bill was fourth on the paper, it was virtually first, the others having only formal Amendments to be made to them.
