MR. PEACOCKsaid, he wished to ask the Chairman of the General Committee of Elections what is the latest period at which they will nominate Committees to decide Controverted Elections?
§ SIR FRANCIS BARINGsaid, he regretted that he could not give a very direct answer to the question of the hon. Gentleman. The proceedings of the Committee must depend upon the proceedings of the House, but the Committee would meet on Thursday, and he hoped that if the question was repeated on that day he would be able to state what was their final decision.
