Earl Grosvenorwished to know from the noble Earl opposite, whether it was true that he had bestowed the appointment of Clerk to the Privy Council, vacant by the sudden death of Mr. Buller, on any individual. If rightly informed, though he was unwilling to believe the report, the vacancy had been filled up by the noble Earl within twenty-four hours of its occurrence —a haste, he thought, not becoming with a patent office of so much emolument.
§ Earl Bathurst said, that no appointment had taken place.
