HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY.
HAYTER said a new writ had been moved for, the day
previous, for the borough. of Dungarvon, on the assumption
that the right bon. Richard Lalor Shiel had vacated his seat by
the acceptance of the office of her Majesty's plenipotentiary to
the Duke of Tuscany. He (Mr. Hayter) believed he was in
error in supposing that the acceptance of that oftce made it
compulsory on a member to vacate his seat ; therefore the
course which he now proposed to adopt was to move that the
order of the house for issuing the new writ be now read. •
In reply to Mr. ROEBUCK and others, the ATTORNEY_
GENERAL said that the issuing of the writ was -a mistake;
but when apprised that his seat would not be vacated, Mr.
Shiel would instantly accept the Chiltern Hundreds.
