HC Deb 01 June 1866 vol 183 cc1691-2

Order for Committee read.

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

SIR WILLIAM STIRLING-MAXWELL

said, in compliance with the request of the Government, he would postpone, until this day week, calling attention to the Returns recently presented relating to the office of Lord Lyon King-at-Arms in Scotland.

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, he was obliged to the hon. Gentleman for so readily acceding to the request of the Government to allow the Reform debate to be proceeded with as early as possible, and he trusted that the hon. Member for Peterborough (Mr. Whalley), who stood next on the paper with a Motion for a Select Committee to inquire and report as to the origin, object, and extent of the late Fenian conspiracy, would follow his example.
