RESUMED.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said the proceeding was
perfectly regular. Their Lordships,must recollect that
when a Commission was formed, it was the C.J.stom that
all Bills which had been passed should be introduced by
the Commission, and this Bill was introduced, and was
then passed._
.These were the simple facts of the case.

Lord CAMPBELL said, the Noble and Learned
Lord bad resumed his seat without making the slightest
allusion to the irregularity which he (Lord Campbell)
had pointed out.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said be was in the
Court of Chancery at the time, therefore he was inca-
pable of doing so.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said be was in the
House on Tuesday when the Noble and Learned Lord
gave this notice. This was not the first time that the
mistake had happened. He (the Duke of Wellington)
had attended in the House regularly during the present
Session up, to the present time.— (Hear.) He hardly
missed a single day when public business was to be
transacted, and they had regularly commenced business
before five o'clock.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said, he had only
received two summonses during the present Session.
He thought their Lordships were not summoned suffi-
ciently often.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said that any Noble
Lord could move their Lordships being summoned at
any time.
The Earl of RADNOR said it was always understood
that public business would not come on before five
o'clock, although the House always adjourned to an
earlier hour in order to enable any Lords to
take the oath before five o'clock. It was
extremely desirable that some understanding should be
come to as to the time when public business was to
commence. A friend of his had been much dis-
appointed by the Noble Lord opposite adjourning the
House before the hour for public business bad arrived
He (the Earl of Radnor) had met his Noble Friend
coming down to the House, to bring forward a motion
of some importance, and he had found that the House
was adjourned.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that the Noble
Earl opposite was the last person who ought to complain
of the House having been adjourned on the occasion
referred to, beoause he (the Earl of Radnor) had
thereby had another day for his friends to sign his protest.
Lor REDESDALE said that their Lordships could
meet at whatever hour they thought propor, and could
transact any public business, or adjourn thet House, if
they saw fit.
Lord CAMPBELL thought, that after what had fallen
from the Noble Lord who had just sat down, it was ne-
cessary that their Lordships should come to some under-
stancling on the subject of the hour at which. public
business was to commence. It appeared from what the
Noble had said, that anything their Lordships might
meet at ten o'clock in the morning, and vote that the
House had no confidence in her Majesty's Government.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—You may do it if you
like.—(A laugh.)
Lord CAMPRELL said that while the House met of
a morning. he (Lord Campbell) and his friends gene-
-rally outvoted the Noble and Learned Lord on the
Woolsack and his friends.—(A laugh.) His Noble
and Learned Friend on the Woolsack had com-
mitted two gross blunders as regarded the Bill
and he (Lord Campbell) protested against the manner in
which the Bill had been passed, and hoped such a course
of proceoding would not again be adopted.
Lord KENYON considered that the proceedings with
regard to the Bill hail been perfectly- regular.
The. Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought that in ail
cases in which the Standing Orders were suspended, the
