MR. GLADSTONEI think it fair to give an explanation to the right hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford (Mr. Mowbray), as to a matter on which my memory did not serve me the other night. The right hon. Gentleman asked me with respect to the delay that arose in the appointment of Mr. Harvey as Rector of Ewelme. I find that I did propose the appointment to two distinguished Oxford gentlemen who were members of Convocation; but they successively declined it before I offered it to Mr. Harvey.
