§ The report of this bill being brought up, Colonel Barry said, that in order to show there was a second opinion in the House with respect to the case of Mr. Ellis, who was, he believed, ere now, elected for Dublin, he thought it proper to move n additional clause, viz. "That nothing in the act shall extend to prevent any person from sitting or voting in the House of Commons who shall have been elected to serve therein previous to the passing of the act." The question being put, that the clause be brought up, the House divided—Ayes, 42; Noes, 65: Majority against the clause, 23. The report was then agreed to.
