§ LORD ELCHOsaid, that he had given notice of a Motion in Committee of Supply to call attention to what was reported to have been said in the Canadian Parliament relative to the Vote for the defences of Quebec. He had been told as a matter of form he could not bring on the Motion in Committee of Supply, and that it would be convenient for him to do so on the Motion for going into Committee. It had been suggested to him that as it was an important subject, bearing, as it did, upon the whole question of our defences, the opportunity for bringing it before the House would be on the bringing up of the Report on the Votes which they were to consider that evening. As he understood that there was no objection to this course, he should call the attention of the House to the subject on Monday evening next, if the Report were brought up at an hour sufficiently early to enable him to raise a discussion on the subject. If the Report, however, were not brought up until late, 243 he should give notice the first night on going into Committee of Supply.
§ Main Question, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair," put, and agreed to.
