HC Deb 28 May 1862 vol 167 c87
MR. VINCENT SCULLY

said, he rose to move that the Select Committee on the Judgments Law Amendment (Ireland) Bill, and the Land Debentures (Ireland) Bills, do consist of nineteen Members; and that Mr. M. O'FERRALL, Sir EDWARD GUOQAN, and Colonel GEEVULE be added to the Committee.

MR. WHITESIDE

said, he should oppose the Motion. He thought sixteen Members were an amply sufficient number to form the Committee on the Bill.

MR. VINCENT SCULLY

said, he was surprised at the opposition of the right hon. and learned Gentleman. He should be glad if the right hon. and learned Gentleman would himself take charge of both the Bills; and as he (Mr. Scully) had charge of one of them, he was surprised that his proposal was objected to. He thought that the addition of these three Gentlemen's names would be found useful.

Motion made, and Question put, That the Select Committee on the Judgments Law Amendment (Ireland) Bill and the Land Debentures (Ireland) Bills do consist of nineteen Members.

The House divided:—Ayes 39; Noes 61: Majority 22.

MR. VINCENT SCULLY

asked, that his name might be struck off the hon. and learned Member's Committee.

House adjourned at a quarter after Five o'clock.
