By command of the King, Mr. Charles Manners Sutton, Speaker of the House of Commons, was introduced by the two Junior Knights, Sir Willoughby Gordon and Lord Palmerston. Sir J. M. Doyle de- livered the sword of state to the King, who stood before the throne. Near his Majesty were several of the Cabinet Ministers, the Officers of State, and the Household. The honour of knighthood was then con- ferred on Mr. Sutton by the King ; who delivered an address to the Knights, expressive of his approbation of the merits and conduct of Sir Charles.
