§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONSir, seeing the hon. Member for Honiton (Mr. Baillie Cochrane) in his place, who has a Motion on the Paper on our relations with Greece, I would take the liberty of saying to him that I think it would be attended with public inconvenience to call upon the House to discuss that question, and for Her Majesty's Government to make statements about it. If the hon. Member will have the kindness to put it off to-day, he will of course expect that I should give him the certainty of some future day, and I will offer him Monday week, if that will suit him, taking care, of course, that he shall have precedence on that day.
§ MR. BAILLIE COCHRANEsaid, there was an impression in the City that the apathy of the House of Commons on this subject had been very injurious to English interests. At the same time, it 1129 would be his duty to defer to the appeal of the noble Viscount, and to what he understood to be the general wish of the House. He would, therefore, postpone his Motion until Monday week.
