§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, he would appeal to hon. Gentlemen, as he did last night, with regard to this evening. The debate on the Address was still proceeding. As an Order of the Day, this being Notice day, it stood low down on the Paper. He would appeal to hon. Gentlemen who had Notices of Motion on the Paper to give way on this occasion, and allow the House to proceed with and finish 384 the debate on the Address. He hoped the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy (Sir George Campbell), and others who had Notices on the Paper, would be good enough to adopt that course.
§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLfelt that the subject of which he had given Notice was not inferior to that which had occupied the House for the last two or three days. ["Oh!"] He said so decidedly; but he also felt it would not be convenient to interpolate the subject of which he had given Notice into the middle of another debate. Therefore, he yielded to the appeal made to him; but he hoped the Government would give him a very early day for the discussion of that important subject.
