Mr. AYRTON

said, the hon. Member for Sunderland, having given notice of an Amendment on the Address, was anxious that the terms of it should be put in writing in order that he might know how to meet it.

MR. BYNG

promised that the hon. Member for Sunderland should be in possession of the terms of the Address on Monday morning.

MR. BLACKBURN

asked the noble Lord at the head of the Government whether it was their intention to move that the Motion of the hon, Member for Middlesex (Mr. Byng) with reference to the French Treaty should have precedence of the other orders on Monday.

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

—It is in. tended to move the Address in question after the Resolutions of the Committee have been reported. I apprehend it will be competent for the House to allow the Motion to come on then.

MR. BLACKBURN

Does the Government intend to move that the Motion shall have precedence of the orders of the day?

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

Care will be taken to do only what is regular.
