house. The e mode

sreferred to the mistake made by the Prslaop of
Winchester the other evening, when that rev. prelate
went into the wrong lobby. If their lordships
should be of opinion that the remedy could be met by
a resolution, he should not press for the committee, although
he thought the subject could be dealt with in the manner
he proposed. He thought the way in which divisons were
taken in that house was very inconvenient, and he urged
that the same mode should 1,0 adopted by their lordships,
as was the practice in the House of Commons.
Earl GRANVILLE thought the matter had been consi-
dered by the noble lord the chairman of committesetst,eranind
he had framed a resolution that would meet the matter
question.
Lord REDESDALE moved the following resolution :
" That if any lord shall have by mistake gone out with
the Contents or Not-Contents (as the case may be)
having intended to vote on the other side, h;
shall wait until the other lords in the same
lobby shall have passed out, and on presenting
him-
self to the tellers desire that he may not be counted by
them, he having entered that lobby by mistake; and the
tellers shall thereupon come with such lord to the table and
inform the house of the circumstance, and shall ask the
said lord whether he was in the house when the question yaw
put, and, if he should reply in the affirmative, whether he
desires to vote content or not content on such question, and
the vote of the said lord as then declared by him shall be
taken by the tellers in the house, and recorded by them
accordingly."— Agreed to.
