HC Deb 08 November 1830 vol 1 cc296-7

On the Order of the Day for the bringing up the Report of the Committee of Supply being read,

Mr. Brougham

said, that in consequence of a notice of a Motion which had been given by Sir G. Murray for the 11th inst., with regard to slave-evidence, after he had already given notice of a motion upon the general question of Slavery for the 25th inst., he was determined to move his resolutions on Wednesday next, if that notice of the Colonial Secretary should not be withdrawn.

Sir R. Peel

was sure his right hon. friend had no intention to be discourteous to the hon. and learned Gentleman, and he could state that his right hon. friend had intimated to him before the meeting of Parliament, his intention to bring the subject under the notice of the House.

Mr. Keith Douglas

requested, that the hon. and learned Gentleman would consider, that there were many interests involved in the discussion: that it was not a question between him and the Colonial Secretary, and therefore it was necessary for him to come to a specific resolution and give a specific notice.

Mr. Brougham

said, that he should be down early to-morrow, and would endeavour to arrange the matter with Sir G. Murray.
