HC Deb 22 April 1806 vol 6 c841

The hon. Henry Erskine (lord advocate of Scotland) and Mr. Wickham took the oaths and their seats.—Mr. Whitbread moved, that a committee be appointed to view the court erected in Westminster-hall for the trial of lord Viscount Melville, and to report what accommodation and convenience had been made for the members of the house when present at the said trial, and that the managers for conducting the impeachment should be the said committee; which motions were agreed to.—He moved also, that the order be read from the journals, made on the 13th July, 1805, for the attorney-general to institute a prosecution against lord Melville and Mr. Trotter, and which was since suspended, should be read by the clerk, which was agreed to; and the order being then read, he moved that the said original order be discharged, which was carried accordingly.—The order of the day being read for taking into consideration his majesty's message, Mr. Fox observed, that as it would be more convenient for the members to take the message into consideration to-morrow, he should move, that the said order be discharged, which was agreed to. He then moved, that it be taken into consideration to-morrow. Ordered.
