THE EARL OF CARNARVONsaid, he had given notice of a Motion for Monday next on the subject of the commutation of the sentence passed on the convict George Townley. He had, however, understood that the Secretary of State intended in a few days to bring in a Bill in the other House to amend the Act under which the convict had been removed from prison to Bethlehem Hospital, and the correspondence which had passed on the matter had been laid on the table. He therefore thought it would be better if his own Motion were allowed to stand over for the present until they saw what was the result of the discussion elsewhere.
§ House adjourned at a quarter past Six o'clock, to Monday next, a quarter before Five o'clock.
