Conduct Of Lord Wellesley

Mr. Wellesley Pole adverting to a notice given by a noble lord yesterday (lord Folkestone), of a motion on Monday se'nnight, for reprinting the papers relating to the Oude Charge, declared that when the notice was given he understood that the noble lord meant to comprehend the whole of the papers in his motion. He had since been told, that in answer to a question put by one of his majesty's ministers, the noble lord had expressed his intention of calling for the re-printing of Nos. 3, 4, and 5 only. He therefore rose to give notice, that as soon as the noble lord's motion should be disposed of, he should move for the reprinting of the whole papers, including the printed evidence. He would not pretend to anticipate the judgment of the house on the noble lord's motion, but justice to his noble relation, who was the ultimate object of it, demanded, that if the proposal for printing a part of these papers should be acceded to, the rest ought to be circulated in the same manner.
