Mr. OSWALD inquired when it was the intention of the
Member for North Warwickshire to bring on the adjourned
debate on the Maynooth grant?
• Mr. SPOONER said he must refer thellon. Gentleman to
the resolution of the House. That would be decided when
the other orders were disposed of.
Mr. -NE WDEGATE said 'it wai his intention 'to take
the sense of the House on the question of the adjourn.
ment of the debate. It was now determined to defeat a
decision on that 'question by a' factious 'opposition, but 'the
attempt of . the Member' for-- Salford to- get rid of the.
question would be frustrated, for he would take the
sense of the House on the question" when the dropped order
for the AsumptiOn of the debate on the Maynooth • grant
came on. .
, Mr. ANSTEY would be no party to a poatponment of
the decision on the Maynooth question, and he hoped the
Member for Salford' would press his motion.
i Mr. BROTHERTON had no intention to get rid of the
question, but to get rid of the House.---(Laughter.) They,
had been already sitting fourteen hours, and he was deter-
mined to press his motion to a division.
Mr. HINDLEY thought the proposal of the Member for
Salford most reasonable, and he hoped the Government
would support the motion. for the adjournment of the
House: . -
The CRANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
thought the House had sat long enough. "
The House then adjourned at Half-past One o'clock.
