§ On the motion of Mr. Wynn, the short-hand writer on the Grantham election committee was called to the bar, and read the minutes of the evidence he had taken this day relative to the service upon sir W. Manners of the warrant of the Speaker requiring his attendance. A witness had deposed, that he had repeatedly endeavoured to serve the warrant upon sir W. Manners, but in vain, and at last had been obliged to throw it over the gate of his residence, near Grantham.—Sir It. Heron moved that sir W. Manners be taken into the custody of the serjeant at arms.—Mr. Tennyson moved as an amendment, that sir W. Manners be ordered to attend the House on Monday—Dr. Phillimore thought it impossible for any person who had attended to the evidence to doubt that there had been an intention to evade the orders of the House, or that the witnesses had kept purposely away. Mr. Wynn was also of opinion, that due notice had been served upon the witnesses, and that the House was bound to vindicate its authority. The original motion was agreed to.—Sir It. Heron then moved that R. A. Jarvis be also taken into the custody of the serjeant at arms.—Sir J. Mackintosh said that the present was a most flagrant contempt of the authority of the House, and he should support the motion, in order to teach all parties, either directly or indirectly concerned, that the commands of no person were a sufficient excuse for such a defiance of their orders—The motion was agreed to; and Hugh Manners and W. Atter were also ordered to attend.
