§ MR. NEWDEGATEcalled the attention of the House to the fact that there was an error in the List of the Division on the Second Reading of the Parliamentary Electors Bill on Wednesday. The Ayes in the new lobby were stated to have been 52; whereas, on an examination of the list of names, it appeared that the number should have been 53. He moved that the entry in the Votes of the Proceedings of the House of 14th July on the Parliamentary Electors Bill be now read.
§ MR. SPEAKERsaid, all the tellers must join in a statement that they were satisfied an error had been committed before it could be rectified.
§ SIR DE L. EVANShad relied on the Member for Warwickshire (Mr. Newdegate), who was one of the tellers, and repeated the numbers after him; he must leave the matter entirely in the hands of the House.
MR. B. DENISONthought, before the tellers could agree that an error had been 411 made, that they must ascertain whether that was the fact or not.
§ SIR B. HALL, as one of the tellers, would acquiesce in any agreement between the hon. Member for Warwickshire and the hon. and gallant General as to what the numbers were.
§ Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
