MR. GLADSTONEI believe it will be for the convenience of the House, in view of what may remain to be done after the Business of the day, that the House should meet at 12 o'clock tomorrow, therefore I believe it will be quite in conformity with usage at this period of the Session that I should make a Motion that this House at its rising do adjourn till 12 o'clock to-morrow. I ought to mention that if the Business of the House to-morrow lasts till 4, or near 4 o'clock, there will be an intermission of the Sitting from 4 till 6; but there is very little likelihood that there will be Business to last till 4 o'clock. Should there be so, however, it will be desirable that the Standing Order requiring the interruption of the Sitting from 4 to 6 o'clock should be suspended.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House at its rising do adjourn till To-morrow, at Twelve of the clock." —(Mr. Gladstone.)
§ MR. T. P. O'CONNORI do not want to oppose the Motion; but I wish to ask the Government whether or not they will take effectual means to keep a House upon the Bill that is under my charge —the Whiteboy Acts Repeal Bill—or, at all events, that they will take no means to get rid of a House in order to get rid of the Bill?
MR. GLADSTONEMost certainly we shall take no means to prevent discussion by getting rid of the House.
§ Motion agreed to.
