Debate Over Witness Attendance in Ipswich Election Case
The debate centered on whether a country as second in command of the fleet in the Chinese seas should attend the bar of the house and provide evidence that could later go before the Ipswich election committee. Though key figures spoke for and against compelling attendance, the motion was withdrawn after Sir R. Pest urged restraint to preserve government credit and party honour. Government planned no new ways and means measures until corn-law debate ends. drainage and building bills were withdrawn.
