MR. COLLINS

COLONEL FRENCH

said, he would suggest that the present Motion and one which stood lower on the paper in the name of the right hon. Secretary of State for the Home Department, and required seven days' notice to be given before writs were moved for certain corrupt boroughs, should be combined together, and that seven days' notice should be necessary in all cases of that kind.

Motion agreed to.

Ordered accordingly.
