§ Mr. DILLONI beg to ask leave to move the Adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent public importance, namely, "the continued refusal of the Government to give the House any definite information as to the duration of the present Parliament and the date of the General Election, and the great public uncertainty and inconvenience arising from this refusal."
The pleasure of the House not having been signified, Mr. SPEAKER called on those Members who supported the Motion to rise in their places, and not fewer than forty Members having accordingly risen—
§ The Motion stood over, under Standing Order No. 10, until a Quarter-past Eight this evening.
