§ In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE,
MR. GLADSTONEsaid, it was undoubtedly desirable that each important Order, such as the Representation of the People Bill, should, in the weekly Orders, be set down for the day on which it was intended to next take it; but it was sometimes necessary to put it down for an intermediate day, in the hope that it might then possibly be taken. Thus it was that in the weekly Orders issued on Saturday the Representation of the People Bill was set down for yesterday.
