HC Deb 10 July 1863 vol 172 cc553-4
COLONEL NORTH

said, he would beg to ask the hon. Member for Chichester, Whether he intends to name a day to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the management and present condition of the Patriotic Fund?

MR. J. A. SMITH

said, in reply, that he had resolved to change the terms of his Motion and to move an Address to the Queen for a Commission of Inquiry, instead of moving for a Select Committee. He understood there was to be a meeting of the Royal Commissioners on Tuesday next, and he should, in some degree, be guided in the course he should pursue by the steps which might be taken by the Commissioners on that occasion.
