the private affairs of members should not be held as justi-
fying their absence from the house in a time of national
exigency.
Mr. S. WORTLEY appealed to the hon. and learned
member to withdraw his motion ; adding that there were
enough of members in town to discuss a question of im-
portance.
Mr. ROEBUCK- I em sorry to give tho house this
trouble, but I think I shall show some very good reasons
for my motion. First of all, in reply to the noble lord the
member for Totnes, I have to say that in a treatise on the
rights and privileges of this house it is laid down that the
time for a call should be from one day to six weeks, but
that was the rule when communications were not so
rapid. Now that we have the rail and the electric tele-
graph, I think that seven days is quite sufficient. I shall
now state candidly my reason for making this motion.
It has been stated to me more than once that attempts
have been made—l won't say by whom, although the
house well knew by whom—attempts have been made to
induce members to leave town, and therefore I take my
stand on the arcient usages of the house by moving for a
call. It was the only defence I had against the artifices
used to deprive me of the means of testing the wishes of
this house. And when lam told that it is unnecessarily
harassing members, and at the same time likely to be un-
availing, I think that there ie something contradictory in
the statement. Pt members are only brought to the house,
I am mire the importance of the motion will induce them
to remain; while, en the other hand, if they are induced
to leave town, the question will be robbed of its due sup-
port, and the country will suffer in an equal proportion.
It is not therefore to give annoyance to hon. members, but
to obtain a sufficient discussion on a great question that I
make this motion, and I beseech the house to take the
constitutional means of enforcing a full attendance.

The house divided—

The motion was therefore lost. The result of the divi-
sion was received with some cheering.
