HC Deb 16 June 1871 vol 207 c196

MR. NEWDEGATE moved— That Mr. Thomas Chambers be discharged from further attendance on the Select Committee on Conventual and Monastic Institutions.

MR. SERJEANT SHERLOCK

said, he must object to the Motion on the ground that the hon. and learned Member for Marylebone had attended all the investigations of the Committee, and that all the Committee had to do was to prepare the Report.

MR. NEWDEGATE

said, it was at the express desire of the hon. and learned Member for Marylebone that he had made the Motion before the House.

MR. J. G. TALBOT

said, it would not be fair to the other Members of the Committee to allow such a course to be pursued, and he must therefore oppose the Motion.

Question put, and negatived.
