HC Deb 22 May 1848 vol 98 cc1235-6

LORD J. RUSSELL understood that the nomination of the Stamford Election Committee, as the list of its Members stood, would lead to some discussion and to some difference of opinion in the House. He wished to suggest to the hon. and learned Gentleman having charge of the matter, whether any discussion on the subject might not be eluded by the General Committee of Elections being instructed to report to the House the names of such persons as they should think fit to have on the Stamford Borough Election Committee?

MR. W. P. WOOD was sorry that any difficulty had arisen, but he had no hesitation in agreeing to the proposition of the noble Lord.
