§ EARL GRANVILLEI wish to make a remark respecting the Second Order of the Day. It stands in the name of the noble Earl opposite (the Earl of Carnarvon), who is about "to call attention to the Parliamentary Papers relative to the recent disturbances in Barbadoes." I do not like to raise any objection to the noble Earl taking the same course 3 which I myself took the other day, and which the noble and learned Lord on the Woolsack then objected to. I would, however, remark that the Papers on this subject have only been for a very short in your Lordships' hands, and I regret to say that my noble Friend (the Earl of Kimberley) who wished to take part in the discussion is in bed with a sore throat. In these circumstances, I trust the noble Earl will find it convenient to postpone his Motion.
THE EARL OF CARNARVONI feel some little difficulty, now that the Session is drawing so near to an end, in postponing the discussion of the question. But I have heard with great regret of the illness of my noble Friend (the Earl of Kimberley). I know the interest he takes in this matter, and the way in which he is concerned in it, for he has been more or less a party to the transactions mentioned in the Blue Book. I have no hssitation, therefore, in agreeing to the proposal of my noble Friend opposite, and I will postpone the discussion of the question to the next open day—which day I will fix when I have seen that my noble Friend (the Earl of Kimberley) is restored to health.
