§ Resolved, That this House will immediately resolve itself into the Committee of Supply.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."
§ MR. SPEAKERAs the House has constituted me the guardian of its Orders I think it right to explain to the House exactly what is the effect of the last Motion. The Motion that the House resolve itself into Committee of Supply was superseded by an Amendment which, was agreed to; but the Government has thought fit—and it has been done on previous occasions—to revive the Motion for going into Committee of Supply. What I wish to explain is, that the Motion so revived is revived in its entirety; and that the hon. Member who proposes the next Amendment stands in 1515 exactly the same position as if he had proposed his Amendment at the commencement of the evening, when the Motion that I now leave the Chair was first made.
