§ Sir James Graham moved the Order of the Day for the House going into a Committee of Supply.
Mr. Stuart Wortleywas very desirous of putting a question to the noble Lord op-positer especting the Curreney Question. He understood a report had been spread abroad, to which many people attached a belief, that there was some intention, on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, to alter the law which had passed in the year 1826, relating to the small-note restriction. It was of great importance that the public should not be under a delusion—if delusion it were—upon the subject; and, therefore, he begged to know, whether there was any truth in the report, that Government intended to propose any alteration in the Currency?
§ Lord Althorpwas not aware that any such report had obtained belief; but he 272 begged to assure the hon. Gentleman that, with respect to the Currency Question, his Majesty's Government had no intention whatever to propose any alteration.
