The Lord Chancellor, preceded by the great seal, en-
tered the House soon after five o'clock. On taking his

Several peers around him.

BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said be would take that
opportunity of stating, that under the merely ordinary
circumstances attending a change of the Government, it
might have been convenient to propose that their Lord-
ships should adjourn for a short time, the number of
writs that have been moved in the other House of Par-
liament 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-
Zerstanding, 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
bouse 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 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 Buoy. HAM was not aware how the absence of
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-o or row 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.
