§ House in a Committee of Supply; Mr. Greene in the chair.
§ On the question that 10,000l. be granted for the harbour of Portpatrick,
§ MR. HUMEinsisted that it was in the votes now contrary to a distinct pledge; and he appealed to the hon. Baronet the Member for Stamford whether such a pledge had not been given.
§ SIR G. CLERKagreed that such was the case; three years ago it had been decided that no more money should be spent on Portpatrick.
§ The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, that the reason for the vote was, that some money was required to complete works on which a great deal had been formerly laid out. It was necessary to keep up some communication, and the harbour would be filled up if something were not done.
§ MR. W. WILLIAMSmaintained, that it was a job for the benefit of a Whig Peer. The harbour never could be made available, and he would take the sense of the Committee on the vote.
§ MR. FERRANDrequired the hon. Member to name the Whig Peer.
§ The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERwas just as ignorant of the name of the Peer as the hon. Member for Knaresborough. All he knew was, that a Conservative Peer, Lord Londonderry, accompanied by a deputation of Irish and Scotch gentlemen, had called upon Government for God's sake not to give up the port.
§ The Committee divided:-Ayes 118; Noes 4: Majority 114.
