HL Deb 13 May 1872 vol 211 c648
EARL GRANVILLE

said, he had communicated with the noble Earl near him (Earl Russell) and with the noble Earl opposite (the Earl of Derby) in reference to the Adjournment of the House, and they agreed with him that it was not desirable to vary the Notice he had already given; and therefore, in accordance with that Notice, he moved the Adjournment of the House to Friday, the 31st instant.

EARL RUSSELL

expressed his concurrence in the statement made by the noble Earl, and said, that in giving Notice of his Amendment for the Adjournment of the House to the 24th instant, he did not mean to press it if it should appear that there was no necessity for doing so.
