number of

writs that have been moved in the ether e.- ar•
liameg.t making it obviously impracticable and inexpedi-
ent as usual till some day next week. But it has been
suggested that it would be extremely inconvenient if the
private business were postponed ; and therefore I propose
that your Lordships should continue to sit, with the un-
derstanding,. however, that no public business should be

ouse of

transacted till the writs which ave been issued in conse-
quence of the acceptance of office by members of the other
house of Parliament are duly returned. I shall, there••
fore, propose that your lordships should meet at 4 o'clock
on the usual days of meeting, but merely for the purpose
of receiving petitions and of swearing witnesses.
Lord STANLEY submitted whether, if the House as-
sembled so early as 4 o'clock, the sittings of the commit-
tees mirht not be inconveniently curtailed ? .

The Marquis of LANSDOWN E had no objection that the
house should continue to meet as usual at 5 o'clock.
Lord BROUf HAM was not aware how the absence of
bon. gentlemen from the other House of Parliament
should interfere with the progress of business in their
Lordship's house ; but an insuperable reason against a
protracted adjournment was, that judgment must be given
either to-morrow or the next day, in two important cases,
as the learned judges whose opinions had been sought
would have to leave on circuit upon Wednesday.
Their lordships then adjourned.
