sidered and agreed to.
Mr. MALIND moved for a new writ for Hall in Use
room of Mr. Joseph Hoare, whose election bad been
declared to be void, contending that as the Election
Committee had not reported that he had been guilty-
of bribery by himself or his agents, the sessional
order, requiring two days' notice of each a motion in.
all cases where a seat had been declared void on the
ground of bribery, was DO obstacle to the issue of the
I writ. _ . .

Mr. PULLIR, chairman of the Election Committee,.
said he had no authority from the Committee to ex-
press any opinion on their behalf whether the writ
should or should not Will. For himself, be did not
wish to interpose any obstacle to the issue of the writ.

could be drawn from the report was that Mr. Hoare
was unseated on the ground of bribery.

motion, and gave notice that be would move Saturday
the suppression of the sessional order, and the issue of
the writ. . . . .

had produced no result but bine-books, which nobody-
read. _ .

pressly provided by Parliament, and the House, having
consented to the issue of a commission in the ease et
Wskelield, would be acting inconsistently if it rejected.
