HC Deb 15 March 1841 vol 57 cc288-9

Mr. Alston moved that the petition of Captain La Roche, presented on the 9th of March, be printed, and circulated with the votes.

Mr. Greene

said, he had not seen the petition, but he understood that there was an objection to its being printed. He suggested the postponement of the motion.

Mr. Alston

said, he could not consent to postpone the motion, as he had given notice that, on Thursday next, he would call the attention of the House to the subject.

The House divided:—Ayes 16; Noes 20:—Majority 4.

Adjourned.
