THE EARL OF CAMPERDOWNasked the noble Marquess (the Marquess of Salisbury) whether he would consent to postpone his Motion with regard to these Statutes, as no Papers relating to them had yet been laid before the House?
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYregretted that the Papers had not been laid before the House; but he would be rather awkwardly placed if he assented to the suggestion of the noble Earl. He thought it would be better to adhere to the present arrangement.
§ After a short conversation,
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYsaid, he would put off the Motion till Tuesday if it were understood that no Government Bill would be passed before it on that day.
THE EARL OF KIMBERLEYmade the promise, excepting only a Bill of great importance which might come up from the other House.
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYsaid, he did not think he need have any apprehension of that Bill standing in the way on Tuesday, and therefore consented to the postponement.
§ House adjourned at Seven o'clock, to Thursday next, a quarter past Ten o'clock.
