§ THE MARQUESS OF CLANRICARDE, after giving notice of his intention to ask the noble Earl at the head of the Government on Friday next what course he proposed to pursue with respect to education in Ireland, proceeded to say,—As I am upon my legs I wish also to allude to a misreport of what I said last night, when I withdrew the notice which then stood upon your 231 Lordships' Minutes. I find that I was misapprehended, probably through ray indistinct utterance, and have in consequence been misreported; and as I am anxious that there should he no misconception thereon among your Lordships at least, I beg leave to repeat exactly what I did say, which was this—that I had received such representations from learned and other noble Friends that my notice and the statement I proposed to make were at variance with Parliamentary usage and practice, and might, if admitted as a precedent, lead to much inconvenience hereafter, that I felt it right, with your Lordships' permission, to withdraw that notice.
