HC Deb 15 July 1840 vol 55 c733

Mr. Hawes moved the second reading of the Affirmation Bill.

Mr. Goulburn

understood from the hon. Gentleman the bill was not to come on that evening. Some hon. Friends of his, who intended to oppose the bill, were absent.

Mr. Hawes

had made no promise not to bring on the bill that evening. He should not have brought on the bill in the absence of the right hon. Gentleman; but certainly he did not, in the communication he made to the right hon. Gentleman, contemplate the absence of any other Member of that House.

Mr. Freshfield moved, that the bill be read a second time that day week.

The House divided on the original question: — Ayes 49; Noes 43— Majority 6.
