MR. GLADSTONEappealed to the hon. Member for Lincoln (Mr. Seely), who had on the Paper a Notice of Motion 280 for to-morrow (Friday) evening relating to the Admiralty, to consent to postpone it on consideration of the state of the Business of the House, and at the same time expressed a hope that other hon. Members would not be unwilling to make a similar concession.
§ MR. SEELY (Lincoln)consented to waive his right to precedence, although he confessed that he did so with considerable reluctance. He gave Notice that he would bring forward the Motion early in the next Session.
§ LORD ELCHOsaid, that, in order to facilitate the conduct of Public Business, he would not bring on his Motion respecting the case of Lieutenant Tribe; but he trusted the Government would put down Supply some other night in order that he might submit the matter to the consideration of the House.
