HC Deb 24 July 1840 vol 55 c935

Sir R. Inglis moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Farnham Rectory Bill, for the purpose of having it discharged.

Order read and discharged.

Sir R. Inglis

said, perhaps he might now be indulged in stating, that he had yesterday declined giving an answer publicly to that question which had been put to him, because he did not think that any hon. Member had a right to put the question, having previously stated that he did not intend to move the same question on which he had been defeated before. He had stated privately to a noble Lord his motive for postponing the third reading, and would have done so to any hon. Member who asked him.

Bill put off for three months.
