HC Deb 09 August 1875 vol 226 cc843-4
MR. W. H. SMITH

said, that, as he found there was no Business on the Paper for to-morrow, he would beg to move that the House, at its rising, do adjourn until 2 o'clock on Wednesday.

MR. O'LEARY

said, he must oppose the Motion, because it had been settled by the Government that the House was to meet that day (Tuesday); and, under that impression, his hon. and learned Friend the Member for Limerick had intended to address the House that day, and would leave town on Wednesday. He was surprised at the deviation of the Government from its promise.

MR. W. H. SMITH

explained, that when he had made the announcement that the House would sit at its usual hour to-morrow, he was under the impression that the Royal Assent would be given by commission to certain Bills; but it was now found that assent could not be given. Seeing that there was no Business of any kind on the Paper for to-morrow, he trusted that the House would adjourn, at it rising, until Wednesday.

House at rising to adjourn till Wednesday, at Two of the clock.
