§ MR. WALPOLEbrought up the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the allegations contained in the petition of Mr. H. E. Childers with reference to the recent election for the borough of Pontefract; and moved that it be printed. [Cries of "Read."]
§ MR. WALPOLEhoped the House would allow the Report to be printed. The Committee had been engaged all the day in considering their Report. Many alterations had been made in the document, which the Clerk would find it very inconvenient to read. He believed that its reading would occupy from half an hour to three quarters of an hour, and that the better course would be to order the petition to be printed, and it would then be in the hands of Members to-morrow.
§ Report brought up, and read; to lie on the table, and to be printed.
