Of the forty-five Members from Scotland, twenty-nine voted with Ministers, against a Committee to inquire into the Civil List, and seven voted for the Committee; and of the nine absent Members, we believe only three would have voted for the Committee, and six against it—making the number of Scots Representatives thirty-five who support Ministers, i. e. nearly 6–7ths of the whole number. |
§ The Duke of Wellingtonsaid:—"My Lords, I deem it my duty to inform your Lordships, that in consequence of what occurred last night in the other House of Parliament, I felt it right to wait this morning on the King, and tender his Majesty the resignation of the office which I hold; that his Majesty has been pleased to accept of my resignation, 559 and that I continue in my present situation only till a successor shall have been appointed." The noble Duke immediately left the House.
