LORD ORANMORE AND BROWNE, believing it to be desirable that such a Resolution should be placed upon the records of the House, said he would now move the Address of which he had given Notice.
§ Moved that an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying that Her Majesty will be graciously pleased to give instructions that all proceedings on behalf of Her Majesty before the arbitrators appointed to meet at Geneva pursuant to the Treaty of Washington be suspended until an agreement in writing be come to between Her Majesty's Government and the Government of the United States, and such agreement be laid before the arbitrators at Geneva by the joint action of these two Governments, removing and putting an end to all demands on the part of the Government of the United States with regard to the claims included in the case submitted on behalf of the United States and understood on the part of Her Majesty not to be within the province of the arbitrators.—(The Lord Oranmore and Browne.)
§ Resolved in the Negative.
§ House adjourned at a quarter before Seven o'clock, to Thursday next, half-past Ten o'clock.
