§ SIR R. PEELThe House is probably aware that an event has taken place this day which will, I am sure, fully justify me in making a Motion without any notice whatever. That Motion is, that this House do present an Address of Congratulation to Her Majesty on the addition to Her domestic happiness by the Birth of another Princess. Sir, I well know the deep feelings of loyalty towards the Sovereign which prevail in this House, as they prevail in every other part of the United Kingdom. I well know how those feelings of loyalty are exalted by the high personal esteem, respectful attachment, and admiration for the manner in which Her Majesty discharges every duty, whether of a public nature as Sovereign, or in domestic life. I shall, therefore, without further preface, and in the full confidence that my Motion will meet unanimous acquiescence on the part of this House, move that an Address to the effect I have mentioned be presented by this House to Her Majesty.
LORD J. RUSSELLIn the assurance that every Member of this House will participate in the feelings expressed by the right hon. Gentleman, I shdll simply content myself with seconding the Motion he has now submitted to the House.
