MR. SPEAKER

The Question not having been affirmed by a majority of three to one, as required by the Resolution of the 3rd February, I have to declare that the Question has not been resolved in the affirmative.

MR. GLADSTONE

Sir, with regard to my second Notice— That, unless the House shall otherwise order, the Committee of Supply have precedence of all Orders of the Day, and Notices of Motions, from day to day until the Votes declared urgent have been disposed of, that Notice is consequential upon the first, and I shall, therefore, not move it.
