§ On the Motion for the adjournment of the House,

§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order! The hon. Member is too late for that. If he had any question of Order he should have raised it at once. ["Hear, hear!"] I explained why I ruled as I did at the time. ["Hear, hear!"]
§ MR. BYRON REED(who was received with cries of ["Order!" and "Name!"]: I am speaking now strictly to the Motion for Adjournment; and I wish to ask hon. Gentlemen within my own hearing whether they understood that there was no negative response when the Resolution was put. [Cries of "Order!"]
§ MR. SPEAKERThe hon. Gentleman is entirely out of order in appealing to the House as to whether what I said was correct or not. [Cheers.]
