HC Deb 14 February 1840 vol 52 c250
Lord John Russell

said, that there was one other motion which he proposed to make, of which he had given no notice, but it was for another congratulatory Message, to which he thought that the House would not object. The noble Lord moved,— That a congratulatory Message be sent to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, to congratulate Her Royal Highness upon the marriage of her Majesty; an event so deeply interesting to the maternal feelings of Her Royal Highness, and so conducive to the happiness of Her Majesty.'

Motion carried.
