HC Deb 21 March 1861 vol 162 c154
MR. WHALLEY

said that, seeing the hon. Member for North Warwickshire in his place, he wished to ask him, Whether it was his intention to introduce again this Session the Bill for repealing the Grant to the College of Maynooth

MR. SPOONER

I beg to inform the hon. Gentleman that it is not my intention to bring on that question. I may, perhaps, be allowed to state, shortly, my reason for not bringing it on. [Cries of "Order, order!")

MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member is not entitled to enter into explanations.

MR. SPOONER

I wish merely to say that my reasons for not doing it are these, that I feel myself totally incapable from the state of my eyes to read those documents which it will be necessary to lay before the House when bringing forward the question.

MR. WHALLEY

Then, I beg to give notice that I shall shortly after Easter ask leave to bring in a Bill on the subject.
