HC Deb 18 July 1842 vol 65 c243
Mr. Roebuck

said, that as a person named Holyoke had been committed at Cheltenham in an improper manner, he wished to knew whether the right hon. Secretary for the Home Department had any objection to produce the correspondence which had taken place on the subject.

Sir J. Graham

replied, that he felt called on, in discharge of his duty, to inquire into the circumstances of the commitment in question. He found that serious irregularities had been committed, and he expressed his opinion to that effect. But as legal proceedings were likely to result out of what occurred, he did not think it would be judicious in the hon. and learned Gentleman to press for the production of the correspondence.
