BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
_ _ _

Lord MORPETH, in rising to bring forward the motion of
which he had given notice, said that he flattered himself that his
reason for bringing it forward would be intelligible enough
without much assistance from him, and he would not there-
fore waste much time in bringing a motion, the object of
which was to save the time of the House. It was his fixed deter-
mination to press the motion to a division, unless weightier argu-
ments than he was aware of, would be brought forward. He
would now state briefly the grounds upon which he submitted
his motion. Formerly the whole conduct of the business of the
House was divided between two parties, who after a certain period
of warfare, had then a stated period of truce and armistice.
The House was now upon a different footing, for there
were not only more parties but stragglers (he did not use
the word offensively), who were not amenable to any
party banner.-4 Hear.) The consequence was, that the
list of notices had increased both in number and variety, not re-
presenting as formerly the views of two parties, but of a variety
of individuals. Would they not be justified in adopting some
regulations for future sessions ? His object at present, how-
ever, only concerned this session. He found that a full week
had been lost to the business of the House in consequence of
the House having been counted out six times since the commenCe-
ment of the session. There were on the order book those nights
motions of the utmost importance, and it was to avoid this that
his motion was shaped. He concluded by moving that for
the remainder of the session orders of the day should take pre-
cedence of motions.
Ur. HUME said that if this motion -were adopted,
