§ SIR JOHN TRELAWNYdrew the attention of the House to some circumstances connected with the guarantee given two years ago to an advance of £500,000 to the colony of New Zealand, upon what he believed to be incorrect evidence on the part of Mr. Sewell. A letter had been received, signed by several members of the Legislature and the Speaker, pointing out the inaccuracies to which he had alluded.
§ MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUEsaid, his own impression was that there had been an absence of frankness on the part of Mr. Sewell; but there had not been such a suppression of facts as could have affected the decision of the Committee or the action of Parliament
§ Motion agreed to.
§ House in Committee.
