HC Deb 18 July 1862 vol 168 cc502-3
MR. COX

said, that the House had been counted out on several occasions when a Motion of his, on the subject of the new Orders in Chancery, was on the business paper, and that under the Act of Parliament the House would lose its jurisdiction in the matter unless it proceeded by Resolution within thirty-six days from the day when the Rules and Orders were laid on the table, he would therefore appeal to the noble Lord at the head of the Government to appoint Monday next as a Supply night, in order to give him an opportunity of bringing forward his Motion.

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

said, that it was the intention of the Government to propose to have a morning sitting on Monday for a Committee of Supply. The Government also proposed to go on with the Committee of Supply in the evening, unless the same misfortune that had hitherto attended his hon. Friend should also attach to him on Monday evening. His hon. Friend might, consequently, have the opportunity of making his statement on Monday, and he should hope that Gentlemen, who had Motions preliminary to going into Committee of Supply, would have the kindness not to bring them forward on Monday morning, but reserve them to the evening sitting, in which case the House might make some progress with Supply.
