HC Deb 08 August 1832 vol 14 cc1274-5

On the Motion of Mr. Stanley, the House resolved itself into Committee on the Party Processions' (Ireland) Bill.

Mr. Shaw

protested against proceeding with the Bill at that time of the Session, when so many Irish Members were out of town, relying on the Bill not being brought forward this Session.

Mr. Stanley

expressed his determination to proceed with the Bill. If the Irish Members conceived the Bill was not to come on, the misapprehension was their own. There was no understanding that the Bill should be dropped.

Mr. Shaw

moved that the Chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again.

On this question the Committee divided: Ayes 4; Noes 38—Majority 34.

The Committee subsequently divided several times on similar Motions, or Motions intended to prevent the progress of the Bill, but finally the Bill went through the Committee, and the House resumed.
