HC Deb 04 August 1859 vol 155 c1000
SIR MORTON PETO

, who had a Motion on the paper "that Mr. Speaker do issue his Warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out a New Writ for the electing of a Citizen to serve in this present Parliament for the City of Norwich, in the room of Henry William Schneider, Esq., whose Election has been determined to be void," said that since he had placed that Motion on the Votes, he had received such communications from Norwich as had convinced him that it would be for the character of the House and the welfare of the inhabitants of that city that the issue of the writ should remain suspended until the House had heard the evidence taken before the Committee, and also until the claim of the other seat had been decided on public grounds.

House adjourned at Two o'clock.
