that under the merely ordinary

circumstances attending a change of the Government, it
might have been convenient to propose that their Lord-
ships shoed adjourn for a short time, the number of

writs that have been moved in the other House of Par.
liamelit making it obviously itnpracticable and inespedi-
^ent as usual till some day nest week. But it has been

private business were postpcned ; and therefore I propose
that 'your Lordships should continue to sit, with the un-
slerstanding, however, that no public business should be
transacted till the writs which have 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
s'n the usual days of meeting. but merely for the purpose
Id receiving petitions and of swearing witnesses.
Lord STANLEY submitted whether, if the House as-
"itembled so early as 4 o'clock, the sittings of the commit-
tees might not be inconveniently curtailed ?

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no objection that the
House should continue to meet as usual at 5 o'clock.
Lord BROUGHAM was not aware how the absence of
lon. 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-ryorrow or the next day, in two important cases,
its the learned judges whose opinions bad been sought
would have to leave on circuit upon Wednesday.
' Their lordships then adjourned.
