§ SIR WALTER B. BARTTELOTsaid, it would be convenient to the House if the Prime Minister would state that no other Business would be taken on Monday except the formal Business which he had intimated.
MR. GLADSTONEsaid, that in speaking of no other Business he supposed that the hon. and gallant Member spoke of no other Business on the Books of the House. Now, he did not wish to override the privileges of private Members; but certainly it was not the desire of the Government to encourage the proceeding unnecessarily with other Business. But the hon. and gallant Gentleman would see that they had before them the introduction of a Bill of the greatest importance; and it might not be well to say that, under no circumstances, should they take such a step on Monday should they happily be in a position to do so.
MR. J. LOWTHERasked whether the right hon. Gentleman would undertake to move the adjournment of the House after the Government Business had been disposed of?
