HC Deb 08 December 1803 vol 1 cc149-50
Sir W, Elford

adverted It a motion which had been made by him during the last session of Parliament, respecting the dismissal of a gentleman from his employment in his Majesty's dock yards. He wished now to know, and he was happy to rind that an hon. baronet was now in his place in that House, who might possibly have it in his power so inform him, whether it was the intention of the commissioners appointed under the authority of that house, to make any report upon the subject?

Sir C. Pole

said, that in his opinion there was not any such an idea at present among the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry.

Sir W. Elford

then desired to be informed if it was not intended to mention the name of that gentleman, or make any observation whatever upon the subject to which he alluded?

Sir C. Pole

then told the hon. baronet that most probably that gentleman's name might be mentioned, but he did not think it a circumstance by any means likely to occur, that any comment should be made upon the subject.
