HC Deb 19 May 1857 vol 145 cc539-40

MR. HADFIELD moved that Sir JOSEPH PAXTON should be added to this Committee.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Sir JOSEPH PAXTON be added to the Select Committee on the Rating of Mines." But notice being taken that the House had ordered that this Committee should consist of sixteen Members, and had already nominated that number;

MR. SPEAKER

stated that no other Member could be added, without leave of he House previously obtained, and that the Question therefore could not be put.
