§ Sir R. Peelsaid, he had, some time since, given notice of his intention to proceed with the property- tax that evening. He believed, it was also the impression of the House that it would certainly be proceeded with. There were a number of preliminary arrangements which it was absolutely essential to make, if the measure was brought into operation on the 5th of July; and, taking that circumstance into consideration, he did hope that no objection would be offered to proceed with the bill at once; and that he might be permitted to appeal to hon. Members to agree, that no question likely to lead to a discussion—not even a question of privilege—should be interposed.
Several motions were accordingly postponed.
