§ Brought from the Commons; read 1a; to be printed; and to be read 2a To-morrow; and Standing Orders Nos. 37. and 38. to be considered in order to their being dispensed with: (The Marquess of Salisbury.) (No. 19.)
§ THE DUKE OF RICHMONDMy Lords, I beg to move that the House adjourn till to-morrow at half-past 12 344 o'clock. It is necessary that we should sit to-morrow to pass certain measures which it is essential we should pass before the Recess. I may also mention we propose to take the East India Loan Bill to-morrow. It is of the greatest consequence that this Bill should be passed rapidly through Parliament, and therefore I shall move the suspension of the Standing Orders to enable your Lordships to pass it through all its stages. I have the less hesitation in proposing the adoption of this course because noble Lords have already had an opportunity of stating their views upon the question when my noble Friend the Secretary of State for India made the Motion the other night. I hope there will be no objection to the adoption of this course, though it may possibly deprive noble Lords of speaking on the subject at any great length.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ House adjourned at Six o'clock, till To-morrow, Half-past Twelve o'clock.
