§ MR. WYKEHAM MARTINsaid, he wished to offer a few words of explanation in respect to an absent individual. In moving the second reading of the Inkeepers' Liability Bill on Wednesday, he read to the House a written statement regarding the loss of some notes, which occurred at the Grosvenor Hotel, and he drew certain inferences from the fact that the numbers of those notes were unknown. Since then, the hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets had informed him of some facts hearing on the subject of which he (Mr. Wykeham Martin) was previously ignorant. He could only say, that if he had been aware of those facts before, he would never have drawn the inference which he had done, that the notes had not been lost; and he was now fully convinced that the loss actually occurred.
