HC Deb 06 June 1856 vol 142 c1086
MR. HORSFALL

said, he wished to inquire of the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he had any objection to lay on the table of the House copies of Governor Wodehouse's Despatches on the subject of the recent riots in Demerara, and whether the right hon. Gentleman had received any further intelligence?

MR. LABOUCHERE

in reply said, that intelligence had been received by the West India mail, which arrived yesterday, that tranquillity had been completely restored in the colony; that the ringleaders in the late disgraceful disturbances had been tried and convicted, and that the law had been successfully vindicated. There would be no objection to lay the correspondence on the table if the hon. Member chose to move for it.
