Lord Broughamwould take that opportunity of giving a general notice that he should on an early day call the attention of the House to the state of the public business before Parliament. He felt that it was absolutely necessary to call the attention of their Lordships to the great grievance which arose from the delay that occurred before measures came before that House. This 864 was a matter that demanded the most serious attention, as the public business was never brought forward in that House until towards the end of the Session. It would be difficult to say, what that House had done since the commencement of the Session, unless it was mischief instead of good—namely, assenting to the coercive resolutions relative to Canada. In point of fact, they bad been sitting for four months, and had not proceeded with any legislative measure. The only reason why he did not at once call the attention of the House to the subject was, that he found some difficulty in avoiding making reference to matters to which he did not then wish to allude. He trusted, however, that he should be able to bring the matter before Parliament without touching on what were supposed to be the peculiar privileges of the other House.
