§ Visct. Morpeth moved the Order of the Day for the committal of the Drainage (Ireland) Bill.
§ Mr. F. Shawobjected to the measure being proceeded with in the then state of the House. Most of the Members connected with Ireland, on both sides of the House, had gone away, and some were out of town, and it would be improper to proceed with it in their absence.
Mr. S. O'Briensuggested that the Committee on the Bill be fixed for some; Wednesday at five o'clock.
§ Viscount Morpethconsented to the postponement of the measure, which was postponed accordingly.
