Mr. T. DUNCOMBE begged to ask the Hoene Secretary
whether, as the Prime Minister had given notice of three
reeolutions to be submittal to the house on the following
day, he intended to more those resolutions seriatim sad
take the asses of the house upon each, or to put them alto-
gether.

Sir t I. C. T.EW IS apprehended that this question was more
properly one for the noble lord at the hada the government
to answer; but be beliovod that, scoording to the orders
of that hens., it WWI the practice that resolutions in the
form in which these resolutions were submitted should be
put seriatim. He apprehrushel that would be the course
pursued.
