§ MR. HAYTERsaid, he would move that the House at its rising do adjourn till to-morrow at Two o'clock.
§ MR. THORNELYsaid, he wished to know if they were to begin business at Two o'clock'?
§ MR. SPEAKERsaid, he must inform the hon. Member that the House at its rising always adjourned till half-past Ten o'clock the following forenoon. Committees were entitled to sit after that hour, but to-morrow being Ascension-day, it was not thought desirable that they should meet before Two o'clock, and hence the Motion for adjourning the House till that hour.
§ MR. THORNELYsaid, he understood, then, that though Committees might sit at Two o'clock, the House itself would not meet till Four.
§ MR. SPEAKERPrecisely so; but it is competent to the House now to resolve that no Committee should sit to-morrow, being Ascension Day.
§ Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
§ Ordered—That no Committees shall have leave to sit To-morrow, being Ascension Day, until Two o'clock.
