HC Deb 12 July 1864 vol 176 c1390
MR. DARBY GRIFFITH

said, he rose to move— That the practice of appointing a Peer and Privy Councillor exclusively to the office of Postmaster General is one which is not directed or required by law, and does not particularly conduce to the convenience of the distribution of Ministerial appointments, or to the efficiency of the Public Service. The hon. Gentleman was addressing the House in support of his Motion, when,

Notice taken that 40 Members were not present; House counted, and 40 Members not being present,

House adjourned at a quarter after Seven o'clock.
