The Marquess of Londonderrywished to put a question to the noble Viscount, with a view of explaining away the discrepancy which appeared between the answer he had given last night, and that given by a noble Lord (Lord John Russell) in another place, on the subject of the Coronation. The noble Viscount had stated, that no alteration would be made in the ceremony: now, as it appeared in the proclamation, there was to be no procession; but the statement made last night by the noble Lord elsewhere was, that a procession was intended. Now he wished to know from the noble Viscount whether there was to be a procession, and if so, whether it was to be a walking procession, or one in carriages?
§ Viscount Melbournesaid, at the former coronation there was no procession, but in the present there was to be a carriage procession from the Palace to the Abbey.
The Marquess of LondonderryThen am I to understand that there is to be no alteration in the arrangement respecting the banquet?
§ Viscount MelbourneIn that respect no alteration is made.
