HC Deb 28 March 1843 vol 68 c40
Mr. Hume

wished to ask the right hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, whether he would not allow him to bring on his motion (on the subject of the Treaty of Washington) on Friday next?

Sir R. Peel

hoped the hon. Member would name some day for his motion which would not interfere with the "Orders of the Day." He felt bound, on principle, to decline acceding to the hon. Member's request, for many applications of the kind were made to him by other hon. Members, and if he complied in one instance, he must in another. It would be better to adhere to the rule laid down for "orders" and "notices." He would be glad to assist the hon. Member if he could, for as the motion which he intended to make was now worded, he should give it his support, but he hoped the hon. Member would fix on some day which was not a supply day.

Mr. Hume

gave notice of his motion for Tuesday.
