HC Deb 15 March 1819 vol 39 c987
Sir R. Wilson

moved the order of the day for continuing the investigation on this subject, when, in consequence of an explanation given by Mr. W. Quin, relative to a discordance between the testimony of Mr. Goold and Mr. Carew Smith, by which it appeared that Mr. Quin confirmed the assertion of Mr. C. Smith, and negatived that of Mr. Goold, as to an interview on the morning of September 22. Mr. Lambton moved the discharge of certain orders for the attendance of additional witnesses from Ireland. The Speaker learning that Mr. W. Quin admitted the correctness of Mr. C. Smyth's statement, and consequently that no further evidence would probably be necessary upon that point, said, he had delayed the issue and transmission of the summonses. Mr. Goold was called in to explain a part of his testimony of Friday night: after which Mr. T. W. Grady, the petitioner, was examined at great length. Mr. David Roche was then examined; after which, R. Wilson moved that the minutes of evidence taken that day be printed along with the rest. As he did not think that the minutes could be in the hands of members before the beginning of next week, he should move that the further consideration of the petition be adjourned to the 25th instant. This was put and carried.
