§ MR. SOTHERON ESTCOURTsaid, he wished to inquire of the noble Lord (Viscount Palmerston), Whether it was his intention to make a Motion, similar to that of former years, providing that Select Committees should not sit on Ascension Day till two o'clock?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONsaid, the course indicated by the right hon. Gentleman was the usual practice, and as he had not yet made that Motion, he was willing to do so at once.
§ Motion put, and agreed to.
