MR. GREENE

said, he would move the adjournment of the House, upon the ground that at that late hour no new business should be entered upon. There were many questions to come on, which would occupy much time if properly discussed, added to which the House had to meet again at 12 o'clock of that same day.

After short debate—

Motion made, and Question put, "That this House do now adjourn," — (Mr. Greene.)

The House divided:—Ayes 56; Noes 101: Majority 45.

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

rose to move that Mr. Speaker do leave the Chair; but

MR. SPEAKER

ruled that the noble Lord was not in Order.
