MR. PEACOCKsaid, he would beg to ask the Chairman of the Committee of Selection what course they propose to take with regard to Election Committees?
§ SIR FRANCIS BARINGsaid, that considering the probable length of the Session and the state of public business, the General Committee of Elections thought it was not advisable to proceed further than they on that day proposed to go in fixing Election Committees. To prevent any mistake he could inform the House that Election Committees had been struck that day from panel No. 1. Another Committee would be struck to-morrow from the same panel. On the 26th and 27th July panel No. 2 would be taken, and Election Committees would be struck. On the 1st and 2nd August further Election Committees would be struck (cries of "From which panel?") He could only say that the Gentlemen who were placed on panels No. 4 and No. 5 might make themselves comfortable with the assurance that they would not be called upon to act in the present Session.
