The Earl of Radnorsaid, that being anxious, as other noble Lords were, to enter his name in the protest against the amendment of the noble Baron (Wharncliffe), which had been carried on Saturday morning last, he rose to move, and he supposed that no objection would be taken to his motion, that they should be allowed to do so. Their Lordships were aware that it was competent for any noble Peer to enter his protest to any vote of the House before two o'clock the next sitting day after such 377 vote had been come to, and to sign his name before the rising of the House on that day. Now the House rose so early on Saturday, that many noble Lords who came down for the purpose of signing the protest which had been entered on the Journals were prevented from doing so. As it would be only fair to give them an opportunity, he begged to move, that all noble Lords who wished to sign the protest in question should be at liberty to do so until the rising of the House that day.
The Earl of Rosslynsaid, he had no objection to the Motion, but he begged it to be understood it was not acceded to as a matter of course, or upon which a precedent was to be founded.
§ Motion agreed to.
