HC Deb 01 May 1850 vol 110 c1061
SIR G. GREY

Mr. Speaker, before the Orders of the Day are read, I may be allowed, in the absence of my noble Friend the First Lord of the Treasury, to make a Motion, which, after the happy event that has taken place to-day, will, I am sure, meet with cordial and unanimous concurrence on the part of the House. The House will, I am confident, be anxious to take the earliest opportunity of repeating on this occasion the deep interest which it feels in everything that concerns the domestic happiness of the Sovereign, whose public and private virtues have justly endeared Her to the nation, and rendered Her an object of admiration and attachment on the part of all classes. I, therefore, beg to move— That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, to congratulate Her Majesty on the birth of another Prince, and to assure Her Majesty that every addition to Her Majesty's domestic happiness affords the most sincere satisfaction to Her faithful Commons.

SIR R. H. INGLIS

I have great satisfaction in seconding the Motion. Every hour that Her Majesty has reigned, from the first moment of Her accession, has added to Her name new claims to the affection and gratitude of Her people; and every child with which God has been pleased to bless Her, has furnished a new motive to all persons to hope for the continuance of that favour which has so long watched over the prosperity and happiness of Her people.

Resolved nemine contradicente.
