HL Deb 27 January 1806 vol 6 c35

The duke of Gloucester was sworn, and took his seat, on his accession to the peerage, in consequence of the demise of his father, the late duke.—The earl of Jersey was sworn, and took his seat on the same occasion.—Earl Darnley adverted to the notice he had given on a former evening, respecting the Additional Force act. Of that measure he retained the same sentiments of disapprobation, and which, in fact, were fortified by progressive experience. It was in the recollection of their lordships, that he was the first who brought forward a motion for the repeal of that act. His intended motion, however, he was at present induced to suspend, in consideration of the state of public affairs at the moment.
