§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."
§ MR. R. G. WEBSTER (St. Pancras, E.)asked how it was that the Report of the Colonial Office Vote had been taken at half-past 6, when it had been arranged that it should be taken at 7?
§ SIR W. HARCOURTI am in the unfortunate position of the man who desired to please everybody. It was certainly the intention to continue Committee of Supply until 7 o'clock; but an appeal was made by the Leader of the Opposition and the Member for West Birmingham that we should close the Committee earlier, in order to take Report of Supply. I had totally forgotten the other arrangements, and I am very sorry if the hon. Member has been put to any disadvantage in consequence.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ House adjourned at ten minutes after Seven o'clock till Monday next.
