the votes.

postpone the motion till some ()flaw. Majesty's Ministers had
taken their seats in the House.

Mr. T. DUNOOMI3E submitted that his motion was not a

question for the Ministers at all; he claimed as a right, on
the presentation of a petition, to have it printed. It was:
question of practice and form of the House. Ministers lag"
nothing whatever to do with the question. He did not pro"
pose to go at all into the merits of the subject. Suchf
a course would be highly improper in the absence of
Ministers; ; he would, therefore, insist upon the petition beill
printed, and was quite content to leave the matter in t°
hands of the Speaker.

The SPEAKER having intimated that the course bid
Hon. Member proposed to adopt was perfectly in ordel;:i
Mr. HENLEY then moved that if the petition be print
