MR. TOMLINSON (Preston)

said, that this Vote, after having been discussed for half an hour the previous night, was closured. He did not think that there had been any intention in any part of the House to carry on any long Debate on the Vote; but it would be admitted in the House, and particularly it would be admitted in the country, that half an hour was a short time in which to dispose of £1,500,000, The question he was asking when the Debate was closured was—
