THE " COUNT OUT."
Mr. ANSTEY said he wiihcd to draw the attention of
the Speaker to one or two points of order. It would be
remembered that a short time ago an:f-lortourable Friend
of his, who was epesking on the Maynooth question,
was stopped in the middle of his speech by the Speaker
leaving the chair, four o'clock having arrived; and yet
yesterday, because the Chancellor of the Exchequer wee
speaking at four o'clock, the House was allowed to go on
sitting up to five o'clock. Now, he wanted to know thy
a distinction had been drawn between the two cases.
Again, it would be remembered that a few days ego, while
they were dividing in Committee of Supply, three Her.
Members were found in the lobby, and forced to come
into the Reuse upon a question which they had not
heard debated or pat from the choir; and yet
yesteedei
evening, when a count oat was moved by a sepporter of
the Government, three Members who were warding
behind the lobby, and who would have made up the
House had they been counted, were allowed to retreat
into the lobby. Now, ho wished to know if the rule
which applied to ono case of forcing the Member; 10
attend in their place was not Equally applicable to the
other.
The SPEAKER said, in answer to the first question+
he must remind the Hous© that by a new rule which
had recently been made, when the House met at twelve
' o'clock on any other day hut Wednesday,
and sat till three o'clock, the House nedt
at five o'clock, but if the House continued sitting up till
:our o'clock the chair was obliged to be vacated, and,
the House did not meet again until sir. Yesterdah
however, the House did not meet at twelve
but at one o'clock, and the rule therefore
did not apply to that instance.—(A laugh.) With re'
gard to the next question, he had no hesitation in stating
that a Member could not be required to vote wild had
not heard the question put, and if in thet
case an Honourable Member was found in the
lobby while the division was going on he would be
directed to withdraw; but with regard to the Dist ques-
tion, the Chair could only count the Members who were
actually in the Howe, and although there might he
a hundred Members behind the chair or in the lobbies,
yet if there were not forty Members in tho House the
business could not be proceeded with, nor Ceuta
any Member be perziaitted to address the Chair.
Mr. BERNAL thought it was important that 3 rule
should be defined whether Members not actually within
the four walls of the House should be called on to vote;
Formerly Members in the lobbies voted, bu
he should now be guided by what the Speaker
had stated—that only those Menabra could vote wu
were present and heard the question put.
Mr. HUME admitted he was a little irregular in ii2(l
terrupting the Speaker last night, but when ho stepped
at thirty-eight, and he (Mr. Hume) saw seven,'
Members behind the chair, he naturally called at-
tendon to the fact. He also saw twenty 12°,rne
Members outside the door. Thirty years ago, when `,
was a teller in a division, Mr. Wilberforce retired behind
SolomOn's porch (the Speaker's chair) and was not
counted; he was, however, noticed and on his (j't.d•
Hume's) motion, he was called to the table, and te,ke
whether he had heard the question put, and on „v e ri;
ing in the negative, it was read to him, when he stated °a
which side he should vote, and be was accordinglyinclude e
in the division. He certainly .thought there was grea:,
ground for complaint in respect to the " count out
last night. The question brought on by the Hon'
h
Member was of great public importance, and it sheritl.
not have been met in the way it had been by the
oited
vernment. He hoped a Committee would be appeen`o
in the next Parliament to lay down some definite rules
for the guidance of the House on divisions.
The SPEAKEIi. observed, that the mode of conduct'.
jag divisions in the old House was somewhat different
to that now adopted.
Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that to-morrow be should
move, that when the House is counted the Sergeant-at.
Arms be directed to lock the doors, and that all Mel"
bers both in the body of the House and in the lobbies
be counted.

The conversation then dropped.
