§ The declaration of the numbers, indicating that the Bill had been lost, was received with ironical Opposition cheers.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY, rising immediately, said: It is evident that the attempt to carry on business during the Jubilee celebration is not wholly unattended with difficulties. In these circumstances, I beg to move "That this House do now adjourn." [Ministerial cheers, laughter, and Opposition cries of "No!"]
§ Question put, "That this House do now adjourn." The House divided:— Ayes, 58; Noes, 64.—(Division List, No. 250.)
