§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONsaid, that, pursuant to notice, he would now move—
That upon Thursday, the 29th day of May next, and on every succeeding Thursday during the present Session, Government Orders of the Day shall have precedence.He might, perhaps, be allowed to say that he made this Motion in conformity with the precedents of former years; as it was a practice which was found to conduce to the convenience of the business of the House, and tended in some degree to advance the public business at a period of the year when it was desirable the Session should come to an end. He hoped the House would agree to the Motion, following the example set in former Sessions.
§ Motion agreed to.
