ELECTION PETITIONS.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose and said—l rise to
move the adjournment of Election Petitions.--( Hear, hear,
hear.) I have already, Sir, stated to the House
that I should do this on grounds of convenience, so obvious
that I shall not take up the time of the House, by tating
them at any length. The first election petition is now fixed
for the 12th of December; as early a day as it was
possible to fix them. That day approaches very near to
the Christmas holydays, a time when it will be difficult to
collect Members of this House to attend to the election bal-
lots, there being no questions of interest then before the House,
and Members placed now upon an Election Committee being
compelled to remain in town during the whole of the holidays.
For this reason I think it not expedient to consider these
petitions before that time. I would propose that at
the Christmas holidays the House should adjourn till the Ist
of February. I would also propose that the consideration of the
first election petition be adjourned until that day. I believe
in point of form it will be necessary to take the sense of
the House upon an adjournment for such a length of time.
For some very particular reason it was possible that
the House might object to such a long adjournment, and
might adjourn for only a fortnight. In such a
case he would propose that the consideration of the first
election petition should be taken upon the first day of
the Meeting of Parliament after such adjournment. He should
therefore move that the consideration of the Roxburgh Peti-
tion be taken into consideration on the 16th day of January
next.

Sir R. PEEL did not intend to offer any precise objection to
the course which the Noble Lord had intended to pursue, but
to propose a course that should be adopted in conformity with
what bad taken place formerly. The Noble Lord proposed
to fix a day for considering election petitions, when it was clear
that day could not be taken. The law required the Speaker
should give notice to parties concerned in the elections when-
ever the days were fixed, and it would be the Speaker's duty
in precise conformity to the law, to notify to the parties, as
had hitherto been done, that on the 12th day of December,
the petitions would be taken into consideration.—(Hear.)
The 16th of January was now fixed, although it was clear they
could not be heard on that day. That was making the affair
little better than a mockery.--(Opposition cheers.) Might it
not be better if the Noble Lord postponed to the 12th Decem-
ber, fixing the day on which the petitions were to be heard.
By that time he would be able to make up his mind as to the
precise day.
Lord STANLEY, having put a question to the Noble
Lord in the course of the evening in connection with this
subject, rose to say that he had heard with some satisfaction
one portion of the announcement made by the Noble Lord,
namely, that it was his intention to proceed to the considera-
tion of the election petitions immediately after the re-assem-
bling of the House. Let the House recollect that they had a
distinct promise on the part of the Secretary of State for
the Home Department, that unless he could bring forward
some strong grounds for deviating from the usual course,
it was his intention to move an adjournment till an early day
in. February, and that the petitions should be proceeded
with on the first Tuesday or Thursday after the meeting of
Parliament. lie did not object, if the Noble Lord thought
fit to adopt that course, to the naming of the precise day
being deferred, now that he had received that intimation
from the Noble Lord which assured him that he would se-
cure the great object he had in view last night. But when
the Noble Lord told them that he could not anticipate
the House would sanction so long an adjournment as to
the month of February, he surely overlooked the prece-
dents which occurred in 1812. Parliament met on the
24th of November in that year, and on the Ist of De-
cember this motion was made and carried—" Resolved,
that this House will not enter on the trial of any election
petitions previous to the Christmas recess." This was so far
precisely the course of the Noble Lord; but did the House
feel any difficulty at that time in fixing the day ? No such
thing ; for the four petitions were fixed, two for the 9th of
February, and two for the 11th of February. That, he begged
it to be understood, was the earliest time after the Christmas
recess that could be fixed, Parliament not meeting till Febru-
ary. Here, then, was a precedent for the Noble Lord as
against the delicacy he felt in asking the 'House to adjourn for
so long a period, at that very period to which he told them
they should adjourn.--(Opposition cheers.) The Noble Lord
said that he had no reason to suppose Parliament would not
accede to his motion of adjournment ; neither had he ( Lord
Stanley) ; and, that being the case, he did not see any diffi-
culty in naming the day. But the Noble Lord said he did not
mean to name a day. Then let him not fix a nominal day ;
let him rather postpone any arrangement, say till the 6th of
December, and name a day then.—( Hear.) He was satisfied
that the petitions should be proceeded with in the usual man-
ner immediately after the holidays.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in reply to the Right Hon.
Gentleman, said his object, in the first place, was to take care
that the parties had the requisite notice ; and in the second
place, he wished to avoid doing that which be thought he was
not justified in doing, viz., fixing the period of the adjournment
of the House. But as, in his opinion, there was no objection
whatever to the course which the Right Hon. Baronet pro-
posed, he would be ready on some future day, say the 7th of
December, to move the day on which the trial of the petitions
should actually be proceeded with. With regard to what had
fallen from the Noble Lord, he did not think that there were
any of his observations of to-night—(Cheers)—that here
contrary to what he had stated last night it answer to the
Noble Lord. He could not say whether extraordinary cir-
cumstances would not induce him to deviate from the usual
plan—( Cheers) ;—that was what he wished to communicate
to the House, and the Noble Lord was mistaken if he supposed
that what he had said to-night was in any way inconsistent
with what he had stated yesterday.
Mr. C. W. WYNN said, as the general disposition ap.
peared to be that they should not proceed with the trial of
the election petitions till after Christmas, he would not urge
on the House the necessity for taking them earlier ; but at the
same time he must enter his protest against the delay.
Sir R. PEEL said, the debate he understood to be post-
poned then till the 7th of December. The object of his ris-
ing at present was to give notice that if, on the 7th of De-
cember, any doubt arose as to a day being fixed in February
for the hearing of the petitions, he should bring forward a dis-
tinct motion, naming a day in February for that purpose.
After a few words between Mr. 'l'. DUNCOMBE and
the SPEAKER, as to the day on which the lists should be
changed, the conversation ended.
METROPOLIS POLICE-OFFICE ACT.
On the motion of Mr. HAWES, a Select Committee was
appointed to inquire into the provisions of 3 and 4 Wm. IV.
c. 19 (Metropolis Police-offices Act), with a view to the
further improvement of the same.
Mr. BAINES obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the
relief of persons elected to municipal offices, and entertain-
ing conscientious objections to subscribe the declaration re-
quired by the latter part of the 50th section of the Act for
the regulation of Municipal Corporations in England and
Wales. _

Mr. HARVEY moved for a return of all pensions granted
under the provisions of the Acts of 57th George 111., c. 6,
sth Geo. IV., c. 4, and sth William IV., c. 24, showing
what pensions have been granted from the passing thereof,
with date of each grant, and which of them are now in force ;
also what further number of pensions might have been granted
by virtue of the said statutes.—Ordered.
Sir R. BATE SON moved for a copy of the order and
circular letter of Colonel Sham Kennedy, dated the 7th of
September last, relative to the employment of the police force
in Irefand.—Ordered.
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE.
On the motion of Sir W. MOLE S WORTH, the Trans-
portation C(lninittee was re-appointed.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at five minutes past Seven o'Clock.
