The House erupts in noise as the Western Tram Road Bill and other measures are moved. OConnell and Sheil press for a full inquiry into alleged ministerial influence, demanding a committee of privilege to examine charges about Irish MPs and a dinner speech.

A Dublin Evening Packet critique denounces King William IV's speech as unconstitutional and inflammatory. It questions the king's anger in enacting laws and challenges the notion of national prosperity, citing Sir J Campbell and the cabinet’s prior claims amid an avowed crisis. The piece mocks the idea of prosperity while urging cautious judgment of the crown and its ministers.
In a Bath Guardian argument, landowners are blamed for protecting profits through taxes and tariffs that burden the poor and workers. The piece cites Henry Parnell on duties raising land rents, inflating prices, and harming industry while benefiting landlords.

Sir Francis Burdett and Mr Stanley spoke against the move, arguing the real issue was a grave accusation that Mr Sheil sent or made communications to the government urging a measure he publicly opposed. The House voted 192 to 4 against delaying O Connell’s motion, signaling a push for full examination.
