HL Deb 16 February 1872 vol 209 c524
THE DUKE OF RICHMOND

stated that, in reporting the division of last night a mistake had been made as to the numbers. The Not-Contents were 88, and not 89; so that the majority for the Not-Contents was 1 instead of 2.

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

said, that the correction was material. It would be interesting to each one of the noble Lords who had been brought from Italy and other places to vote for the Government to know that the majority on the side of Government was just 1.

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

said, he did not know why it should be assumed that the error lay with the Tellers—it was just as likely that it occurred with the Division clerks. In that case the numbers would remain as they were reported.

EARL GRANVILLE

asked who those noble Lords who had been brought from Italy were? He would be glad to see them.

House adjourned at half-past Five o'clock, to Monday next, Eleven o'clock.
