§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHsaid, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, considering the repeated personal pledges he has given to the House and the Country to take every means to pass a Bill for the repression of Corrupt Practices at Elections, he does not think it desirable so to arrange the Business of the House as to give precedence to that Bill over others of an ordinary character, if he wishes to redeem the pledges he has made on the subject?
§ MR. DISRAELISir, the hon. Gentleman has placed an argumentative Question on the Paper, which is a very inconvenient course, and one that might lead to discussion. He wishes to know if we 521 intend to carry out our intentions. All I can say is, that if we had not intended to carry out our intentions we should not have placed the Bill on the Paper in the position we have done.
