HL Deb 09 February 1871 vol 204 cc50-1
EARL GRANVILLE

My Lords, I rise with very great pleasure to make a Motion which I have made for now a considerable number of years following, although I am sorry to say the pleasure is not at the present moment altogether unmixed. Your Lordships are aware that Lord Redesdale has been very seriously indisposed; but I have had a communication from him this afternoon which is of a more favourable character. I am sure that the proposition I have to make for the re-appointment of so esteemed a Member of this House, who has so ably performed the duties of Chairman of Committees, will be at once agreed to.

THE DUKE OF RICHMOND

I have very great pleasure in seconding the Motion of the noble Earl. I am glad to hear that my noble Friend is so much better, and I hope before long he will be able to fill the Chair with the same ability which has hitherto so much distinguished him.

Appointed, nemine dissentiente, to take the chair in all Committees of this House for this Session.

COMMITTEE FOR PRIVILEGES — Appointed.

SUB-COMMITTEE FOR THE JOURNALS—Appointed.

APPEAL COMMITTEE—Appointed.

House adjourned at Eight o'clock, till To-morrow, a quarter before Five o'clock.
