§ Order for Consideration, as amended, read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Consideration of the Bill, as amended, be deferred until Saturday."—(Mr. Solicitor General.)
§ MR. WARTONsaid, he must enter his protest against the practice now resorted to of putting down deferred 1821 Bills for a Saturday Sitting. A Sitting had been fixed for Saturday really for the purpose of taking Supply, and he had understood that Supply would be the only Business proceeded with. That was the understanding last week, and it had been acted upon. When an exceptional Sitting was held on a Saturday, there ought to be a distinct understanding that no Business would be entered upon except such as was really necessary in the interests of the country.
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL (Sir FARRER HERSCHELL)To save further time, I will put down the Bill for Monday.
§ Consideration, as amended, deferred till Monday next.
