§ The Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate on the motion of Lord Eliot having been read, and no hon. Member having risen to address the House,
§ The Speakerrose, and having read the motion, put the question. There was a call of Aye from the opposition Members, and a call of No, from the ministerial side of the House. The Speaker said, I think the Noes have it. Some Members on the Opposition benches exclaimed "the Ayes have it."
Strangers were ordered to withdraw. There ensued immediately considerable confusion in the House as so sudden a division on this great party question was wholly unexpected,
