Warrant Return Against Evans and Wheelton Upheld
The attorney-general argued for detaining Evans and Wheelton under a warrant issued by the House of Commons speaker, insisting the move would end disputes with the court. The motion to direct the sergeant-at-arms to return the writ was carried, with debate over parliamentary privilege and the queen's bench. The session then moved to Prince Albert's provision, discussing an annuity from the consolidated fund and related household arrangements.

Westminster Pride and England's Glory

Debated Prince Albert Allowance Up for Monday Vote
The discussion on Prince Albert's provision moves to Monday with an expected Government proposal of £50,000. We regard £50,000 as excessive and prefer £30,000 to unite supporters. Mr Hume may move to cut to £21,000, while Colonel Sibthorpe’s amendments risk anti common sense stipulations on residence and religion.
